1 I cry aloud to God; ♦︎
I cry aloud to God and he will hear me.
2 In the day of my trouble I have sought the Lord; ♦︎
by night my hand is stretched out and does not tire;
my soul refuses comfort.
3 I think upon God and I groan; ♦︎
I ponder, and my spirit faints.
4 You will not let my eyelids close; ♦︎
I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5 I consider the days of old; ♦︎
I remember the years long past;
6 I commune with my heart in the night; ♦︎
my spirit searches for understanding.
7 Will the Lord cast us off for ever? ♦︎
Will he no more show us his favour?
8 Has his loving mercy clean gone for ever? ♦︎
Has his promise come to an end for evermore?
9 Has God forgotten to be gracious? ♦︎
Has he shut up his compassion in displeasure?
10 And I said, My grief is this: ♦︎
that the right hand of the Most High has lost its strength.
11 I will remember the works of the Lord ♦︎
and call to mind your wonders of old time.
12 I will meditate on all your works ♦︎
and ponder your mighty deeds.
