1To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph. I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me. | 1I cry aloud to God, aloud to God, and he will hear me. |
2In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted. | 2I sought the Lord in my day of trouble. My hands were continually lifted up all night long; I refused to be comforted. |
3I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah. | 3I think of God; I groan; I meditate; my spirit becomes weak. Selah |
4Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak. | 4You have kept me from closing my eyes; I am troubled and cannot speak. |
5I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times. | 5I consider days of old, years long past. |
6I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search. | 6At night I remember my music; I meditate in my heart, and my spirit ponders. |
7Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more? | 7"Will the Lord reject forever and never again show favor? |
8Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore? | 8Has his faithful love ceased forever? Is his promise at an end for all generations? |
9Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah. | 9Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he in anger withheld his compassion?" Selah |
10And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High. | 10So I say, "I am grieved that the right hand of the Most High has changed." |
11I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. | 11I will remember the LORD's works; yes, I will remember your ancient wonders. |
12I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. | 12I will reflect on all you have done and meditate on your actions. |
13Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God? | 13God, your way is holy. What god is great like God? |
14Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people. | 14You are the God who works wonders; you revealed your strength among the peoples. |
15Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. | 15With power you redeemed your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. Selah |
16The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled. | 16The water saw you, God. The water saw you; it trembled. Even the depths shook. |
17The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad. | 17The clouds poured down water. The storm clouds thundered; your arrows flashed back and forth. |
18The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook. | 18The sound of your thunder was in the whirlwind; lightning lit up the world. The earth shook and quaked. |
19Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known. | 19Your way went through the sea and your path through the vast water, but your footprints were unseen. |
20Thou leddest thy 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. |
