In the day of trouble I sought the Lord

1
I cried out to God; I cried aloud to God to hear me.
2
In the day of trouble I sought the Lord; through the night my outstretched hands did not grow weary; my soul refused to be comforted.
3
I remembered You, O God, and I groaned; I mused and my spirit grew faint.
4
Selah You have kept my eyes from closing; I am too troubled to speak.
5
I considered the days of old, the years long in the past.
6
At night I remembered my song; in my heart I mused, and my spirit pondered:
7
Will the Lord spurn us forever and never show His favor again?
8
Is His loving devotion gone forever? Has His promise failed for all time?
9
Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has His anger shut off His compassion?”
10
Selah So I said, “I am grieved that the right hand of the Most High has changed.”(a)
11
I will remember the works of the LORD; yes, I will remember Your wonders of old.
12
I will reflect on all You have done and ponder Your mighty deeds.
13
Your way, O God, is holy. What god is so great as our God?
14
You are the God who works wonders; You display Your strength among the peoples.
15
With power You redeemed Your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph.
16
Selah The waters saw You, O God; the waters saw You and swirled; even the depths were shaken.
17
The clouds poured down water; the skies resounded with thunder; Your arrows flashed back and forth.
18
Your thunder resounded in the whirlwind; the lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked.
19
Your path led through the sea, Your way through the mighty waters, but Your footprints were not to be found.(b)
20
You led Your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

In the day of trouble I sought the Lord

1
My cry goes to God! Indeed, I cry to God for help, and for him to listen to me.
2
In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord. My hand was stretched out in the night, and didn’t get tired. My soul refused to be comforted.
3
I remember God, and I groan. I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah.
4
You hold my eyelids open. I am so troubled that I can’t speak.
5
I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
6
I remember my song in the night. I consider in my own heart; my spirit diligently inquires:
7
Will the Lord reject us forever? Will he be favorable no more?
8
Has his loving kindness vanished forever? Does his promise fail for generations?
9
Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he, in anger, withheld his compassion?” Selah.
10
Then I thought, “I will appeal to this: the years of the right hand of the Most High.”
11
I will remember the LORD’s deeds; for I will remember your wonders of old.
12
I will also meditate on all your work, and consider your doings.
13
Your way, God, is in the sanctuary. What god is great like God?
14
You are the God who does wonders. You have made your strength known among the peoples.
15
You have redeemed your people with your arm, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
16
The waters saw you, God. The waters saw you, and they writhed. The depths also convulsed.
17
The clouds poured out water. The skies resounded with thunder. Your arrows also flashed around.
18
The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind. The lightnings lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook.
19
Your way was through the sea, your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known.
20
You led your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
