For the choir director; ^[a]according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.

My voice rises to God, and I will ^(a)cry aloud; My voice rises to God, and He will hear me.

In the ^(b)day of my trouble I sought the Lord; ^(c)In the night my ^(d)hand was stretched out ^[b]without weariness; My soul ^(e)refused to be comforted.

When I remember God, then I am ^(f)disturbed; When I ^(g)sigh, then ^(h)my spirit grows faint. ^[c]Selah.

You have held my eyelids open; I am so troubled that I ⁽ⁱ⁾cannot speak.

I have considered the ^(j)days of old, The years of long ago.

I will remember my ^(k)song in the night; I ^(l)will meditate with my heart, And my spirit ^[d]ponders:

Will the Lord ^(m)reject forever? And will He ⁽ⁿ⁾never be favorable again?

Has His ^(o)lovingkindness ceased forever? Has His ^[e](p)promise come to an end ^[f]forever?

Has God ^(q)forgotten to be gracious, Or has He in anger ^[g]withdrawn His ^(r)compassion? Selah.

Then I said, "^(s)It is my ^[h]grief, That the ^(t)right hand of the Most High has changed."

I shall remember the ^(u)deeds of ^[i]the Lord ; Surely I will ^(v)remember Your wonders of old.

I will ^(w)meditate on all Your work And muse on Your deeds.

Your way, O God, is ^(x)holy; ^(y)What god is great like our God?

You are the ^(z)God who works wonders; You have ^(aa)made known Your strength among the peoples.

You have by Your ^[j]power ^(ab)redeemed Your people, The sons of Jacob and ^(ac)Joseph. Selah.

The ^(ad)waters saw You, O God; The waters saw You, they were in anguish; The deeps also trembled.

The ^(ae)clouds poured out water; The skies ^(af)gave forth a sound; Your ^(ag)arrows ^[k]flashed here and there.

The ^(ah)sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind; The ^(ai)lightnings lit up the world; The ^(aj)earth trembled and shook.

Your ^(ak)way was in the sea And Your paths in the mighty waters, And Your footprints may not be known.

You ^(al)led Your people like a flock By the hand of ^(am)Moses and Aaron.
