King James Bible | International Standard Version |
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 out to God! I cry out to God and he hears 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. | 2When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; my hands were raised at night and they did not grow weary. I refused to be comforted. |
3I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah. | 3I remember God, and I groan; I meditate, while my spirit grows faint. Interlude |
4Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak. | 4You kept my eyes open; I was troubled and couldn't speak. |
5I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times. | 5I thought of ancient times, considering years long past. |
6I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search. | 6During the night I remembered my song. I meditate in my heart, and my spirit ponders. |
7Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more? | 7Will the Lord reject me forever and not show favor again? |
8Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore? | 8Has his gracious love ceased forever? Will his promise be unfulfilled in future 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? Interlude |
10And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High. | 10So I say: "It causes me pain 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 deeds; indeed, I will remember your awesome deeds from long ago. |
12I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. | 12As I meditate on all your works, I will consider your awesome deeds. |
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 like our great God? |
14Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people. | 14God, you are the one performing awesome deeds. You reveal your might among the nations. |
15Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. | 15You delivered your people— the descendants of Jacob and Joseph— with your power. Interlude |
16The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled. | 16The waters saw you, God; the waters saw you and writhed. Indeed, the depths of the sea quaked. |
17The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad. | 17The clouds poured rain; the skies rumbled. Indeed, your lightning bolts flashed. |
18The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook. | 18Your thunderous sound was in a whirlwind; your lightning lights up the world; the earth becomes agitated and quakes. |
19Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known. | 19Your way was through the sea, and your path through mighty waters, but your footprints cannot be traced. |
20Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. | 20You have led your people like a flock by the hands of Moses and Aaron. |
