For the choir director: according to Jeduthun. Of Asaph.^(a) A psalm.

I cry aloud to God, aloud to God, and He will hear me.^(b)

I sought the Lord in my day of trouble. My hands were continually lifted up all night long; I refused to be comforted.^(c)

I think of God; I groan; I meditate; my spirit becomes weak.^(d) Selah

You have kept me from closing my eyes; I am troubled and cannot speak.^(e)

I consider days of old, years long past.^(f)

At night I remember my music; I meditate in my heart, and my spirit ponders.^(g)

"Will the Lord reject forever and never again show favor?^(h)

Has His faithful love ceased forever? Is His promise at an end for all generations?⁽ⁱ⁾

Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has He in anger withheld His compassion?"^(j) Selah

So I say, "I am grieved^[a] that the right hand of the Most High has changed."^(k)

I will remember the Lord 's works; yes, I will remember Your ancient wonders.^(l)

I will reflect on all You have done and meditate on Your actions.^(m)

God, Your way is holy. What god is great like God?⁽ⁿ⁾

You are the God who works wonders; You revealed Your strength among the peoples.^(o)

With power You redeemed Your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.^(p) Selah

The waters saw You, God. The waters saw You; they trembled. Even the depths shook.^(q)

The clouds poured down water. The storm clouds thundered; Your arrows flashed back and forth.^(r)

The sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind; lightning lit up the world.^(s) The earth shook and quaked.^(t)

Your way went through the sea and Your path through the great waters, but Your footprints were unseen.^(u)

You led Your people like a flock^(v) by the hand of Moses and Aaron.^(w)
