1TO 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.

2I 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.

3I remember God, and make a noise, || I meditate, and my spirit is feeble. Selah.

4You have taken hold of the watches of my eyes, || I have been moved, and I do not speak.

5I have reckoned the days of old, || The years of the ages.

6I remember my music in the night, || I meditate with my heart, and my spirit searches diligently:

7Does the Lord cast off for all ages? Does He add to be pleased no longer?

8Has His kindness ceased forever? The saying failed from generation to generation?

9Has God forgotten [His] favors? Has He shut up His mercies in anger? Selah.

10And I say: “My weakness is, || The changes of the right hand of the Most High.”

11I mention the doings of YAH, || For I remember Your wonders of old,

12And I have meditated on all Your working, || And I talk concerning Your doings.

13O God, Your way [is] in holiness, || Who [is] a great god like God?

14You [are] the God doing wonders. You have made Your strength known among the peoples,

15You have redeemed Your people with strength, || The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

16The waters have seen You, O God, || The waters have seen You, || They are afraid—also depths are troubled.

17Thick clouds have poured out waters, || The skies have given forth a noise, || Also—Your arrows go up and down.

18The voice of Your thunder [is] in the spheres, || Lightnings have lightened the world, || The earth has trembled, indeed, it shakes.

19Your way [is] in the sea, || And Your paths in many waters, || And Your tracks have not been known.

20You have led Your people as a flock, || By the hand of Moses and Aaron!
