Holman Christian Standard Bible | New International Version |
1For the choir director: according to Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A psalm. I cry aloud to God, aloud to God, and He will hear me. | 1For the director of music. For Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A psalm. I cried out to God for help; I cried out to God to hear me. |
2I sought the Lord in my day of trouble. My hands were continually lifted up all night long; I refused to be comforted. | 2When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; at night I stretched out untiring hands, and I would not be comforted. |
3I think of God; I groan; I meditate; my spirit becomes weak. Selah | 3I remembered you, God, and I groaned; I meditated, and my spirit grew faint. |
4You have kept me from closing my eyes; I am troubled and cannot speak. | 4You kept my eyes from closing; I was too troubled to speak. |
5I consider days of old, years long past. | 5I thought about the former days, the years of long ago; |
6At night I remember my music; I meditate in my heart, and my spirit ponders." | 6I remembered my songs in the night. My heart meditated and my spirit asked: |
7Will the Lord reject forever and never again show favor? | 7"Will the Lord reject forever? Will he never show his favor again? |
8Has His faithful love ceased forever? Is His promise at an end for all generations? | 8Has his unfailing love vanished forever? Has his promise failed for all time? |
9Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has He in anger withheld His compassion?" Selah | 9Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has he in anger withheld his compassion?" |
10So I say, "I am grieved that the right hand of the Most High has changed." | 10Then I thought, "To this I will appeal: the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand. |
11I will remember the LORD's works; yes, I will remember Your ancient wonders. | 11I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. |
12I will reflect on all You have done and meditate on Your actions. | 12I will consider all your works and meditate on all your mighty deeds." |
13God, Your way is holy. What god is great like God? | 13Your ways, God, are holy. What god is as great as our God? |
14You are the God who works wonders; You revealed Your strength among the peoples. | 14You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples. |
15With power You redeemed Your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. Selah | 15With your mighty arm you redeemed your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. |
16The waters saw You, God. The waters saw You; they trembled. Even the depths shook. | 16The waters saw you, God, the waters saw you and writhed; the very depths were convulsed. |
17The clouds poured down water. The storm clouds thundered; Your arrows flashed back and forth. | 17The clouds poured down water, the heavens resounded with thunder; your arrows flashed back and forth. |
18The sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind; lightning lit up the world. The earth shook and quaked. | 18Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind, your lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked. |
19Your way went through the sea and Your path through the great waters, but Your footprints were unseen. | 19Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen. |
20You led Your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. | 20You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. |
