I cried out to God with my voice - to God with my voice; and He gave ear to me.

2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; my hand was stretched out in the night without ceasing; my soul refused to be comforted.

3 I remember God, and was troubled; I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed.                                           Selah

4 You hold my eyelids open; I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

6 I call to remembrance my song in the night; I mediate within my heart, and my spirit makes diligent search.

7 Will the Lord cast off forever? And will He be favorable no more?

8 Has His mercy ceased forever? Has His promise failed forevermore?

9 Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has He in anger shut up His tender mercies?                                                  Selah

10 And I said, "This is my anguish; but I will remember the years of right hand of the Most High."

11 I will remember the works of the LORD; surely I will remember Your wonders of old.

12 I will also mediate on all Your work, and talk of Your deeds.

13 Your way, O God, is in the santuary; who is so great a God as our God?

14 You are the God who wonders;  You have declare Your strength among the peoples.

15 You have with Your arm redeemed Your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph                                                     Selah

16 The waters saw You,  O God; the waters saw You, they were afraid; the depths also trembled.

17 The clouds poured out water; the skies sent out a sound; Your arrows also flashed about.

18 The voice of Your thunder was in the whirlwind; the lightenings lit up; the trembles and shook.

19 Your way was in the sea, Your path in the great waters, and Your footsteps were not known.

20 You led Your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. PSALM 77
