¹ I will cry out to God and call for help! I will cry out to God and he will pay attention to me. ² In my time of trouble I sought the Lord. I kept my hand raised in prayer throughout the night. I refused to be comforted. ³ I said, "I will remember God while I groan; I will think about him while my strength leaves me." (Selah) ⁴ You held my eyelids open; I was troubled and could not speak. ⁵ I thought about the days of old, about ancient times. ⁶ I said, "During the night I will remember the song I once sang; I will think very carefully." I tried to make sense of what was happening. ⁷ I asked, "Will the Lord reject me forever? Will he never again show me his favor? ⁸ Has his loyal love disappeared forever? Has his promise failed forever? ⁹ Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has his anger stifled his compassion?" ¹⁰ Then I said, "I am sickened by the thought that the sovereign One might become inactive. ¹¹ I will remember the works of the LORD. Yes, I will remember the amazing things you did long ago! ¹² I will think about all you have done; I will reflect upon your deeds!" ¹³ O God, your deeds are extraordinary! What god can compare to our great God? ¹⁴ You are the God who does amazing things; you have revealed your strength among the nations. ¹⁵ You delivered your people by your strength the children of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah) ¹⁶ The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you and trembled. Yes, the depths of the sea shook with fear. ¹⁷ The clouds poured down rain; the skies thundered. Yes, your arrows flashed about. ¹⁸ Your thunderous voice was heard in the wind; the lightning bolts lit up the world; the earth trembled and shook. ¹⁹ You walked through the sea; you passed through the surging waters, but left no footprints. ²⁰ You led your people like a flock of sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
