1 TO THE OVERSEER. FOR JEDUTHUN. A PSALM OF ASAPH. My voice is to God, and I cry, || My voice is to God, || And He has given ear to me. 2 I sought the Lord in a day of my distress, || My hand has been spread out by night, || And it does not cease, || My soul has refused to be comforted. 3 I remember God, and make a noise, || I meditate, and my spirit is feeble. Selah. 4 You have taken hold of the watches of my eyes, || I have been moved, and I do not speak. 5 I have reckoned the days of old, || The years of the ages. 6 I remember my music in the night, || I meditate with my heart, and my spirit searches diligently: 7 Does the Lord cast off for all ages? Does He continue to be pleased no longer? 8 Has His kindness ceased forever? The saying failed from generation to generation? 9 Has God forgotten His favors? Has He shut up His mercies in anger? Selah. 10 And I say: “My weakness is, || The changes of the right hand of the Most High.” 11 I mention the doings of YAH, || For I remember Your wonders of old, 12 And I have meditated on all Your working, || And I talk concerning Your doings. 13 O God, Your way is in holiness, || Who is a great god like God? 14 You are the God doing wonders. You have made Your strength known among the peoples, 15 You have redeemed Your people with strength, || The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. 16 The waters have seen You, O God, || The waters have seen You, || They are afraid—also depths are troubled. 17 Thick clouds have poured out waters, || The skies have given forth a noise, || Also—Your arrows go up and down. 18 The voice of Your thunder is in the spheres, || Lightnings have lightened the world, || The earth has trembled, indeed, it shakes. 19 Your way is in the sea, || And Your paths in many waters, || And Your tracks have not been known. 20 You have led Your people as a flock, || By the hand of Moses and Aaron!
