1 For the conclusion. For Idithun. A Psalm by Asaph. With my voice I cried to the Lord, and my voice was to God, and he hearkened to me.
2 In the day of my affliction I sought God with my hands in the night before him; and I was not disappointed. My soul had refused to be comforted;
3 I remembered God and was made glad; I meditated, though my spirit was in despondency.
4 All mine enemies had previously mounted guard; I was troubled and did not speak.
5 I considered the days of old: I recollected the years of ancient times;
6 I meditated at night; I conversed with my heart; I searched my spirit diligently.
7 Will the Lord cast off forever, and will he no more be favourable?
8 Will he entirely cut off mercy, from generation to generation?
9 Will God forget to be gracious? Will he in his anger restrain his compassion?
10 Then I said, I have now made a beginning; this is the change of the right hand of the Most High.
11 I called to remembrance the works of the Lord. Seeing I can remember thy wonders of old:
12 let me therefore meditate on all thy works, and muse on thine institutions.
13 God, thy way is in that which is holy; what God is great as our God?
14 Thou art the God who worketh miracles: thou hast made thy power known among the tribes.
15 With thine arm thou didst redeem this people of thine; the children of Jacob and Joseph.
16 The waters saw thee, God!; the waters saw thee and were terrified, and the deep gulphs were troubled.
17 Great was the roaring of the waters; the clouds uttered a sound: for thy bolts were passing through them.
18 The sound of thy thunder was in the round expanse: thy lightnings illumed the World; the earth shook and trembled.
19 Thy way was through the sea, and thy paths through many waters; but thy footsteps could not be known.
20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock: by the ministry of Moses and Aaron.
