^{1 Ref} <To the chief music-maker. After Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A Psalm.> I was crying to God with my voice; even to God with my voice, and he gave ear to me.

^{2 Ref} In the day of my trouble, my heart was turned to the Lord: my hand was stretched out in the night without resting; my soul would not be comforted.

^{3 Ref} I will keep God in memory, with sounds of grief; my thoughts are troubled, and my spirit is overcome. (Selah.)

^{4 Ref} You keep my eyes from sleep; I am so troubled that no words come.

^{5 Ref} My thoughts go back to the days of the past, to the years which are gone.

^{6 Ref} The memory of my song comes back to me in the night; my thoughts are moving in my heart; my spirit is searching with care.

^{7 Ref} Will the Lord put me away for ever? will he be kind no longer?

^{8 Ref} Is his mercy quite gone for ever? has his word come to nothing?

^{9 Ref} Has God put away the memory of his pity? are his mercies shut up by his wrath? (Selah.)

^{10 Ref} And I said, It is a weight on my spirit; but I will keep in mind the years of the right hand of the Most High.

^{11 Ref} I will keep in mind the works of Jah: I will keep the memory of your wonders in the past.

^{12 Ref} I will give thought to all your work, while my mind goes over your acts of power.

^{13 Ref} Your way, O God, is holy: what god is so great as our God?

^{14 Ref} You are the God who does works of power: you have made your strength clear to the nations.

^{15 Ref} With your arm you have made your people free, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah.)

^{16 Ref} The waters saw you, O God; the waters saw you, they were in fear: even the deep was troubled.

^{17 Ref} The clouds sent out water; the skies gave out a sound; truly, your arrows went far and wide.

^{18 Ref} The voice of your thunder went rolling on; the world was flaming with the light of the storm; the earth was shaking.

^{19 Ref} Your way was in the sea, and your road in the great waters; there was no knowledge of your footsteps.

^{20 Ref} You were guiding your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

^{1 Ref} I will cry unto God with my voice, Even unto God with my voice; and he will give ear unto me.

^{2 Ref} In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: My hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not; My soul refused to be comforted.

^{3 Ref} I remember God, and am disquieted: I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah

^{4 Ref} Thou holdest mine eyes watching: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

^{5 Ref} I have considered the days of old, The years of ancient times.

^{6 Ref} I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart; And my spirit maketh diligent search.

^{7 Ref} Will the Lord cast off for ever? And will he be favorable no more?

^{8 Ref} Is his lovingkindness clean gone for ever? Doth his promise fail for evermore?

^{9 Ref} Hath God forgotten to be gracious? Hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah

^{10 Ref} And I said, This is my infirmity; `But I will remember' the years of the right hand of the Most High.

^{11 Ref} I will make mention of the deeds of Jehovah; For I will remember thy wonders of old.

^{12 Ref} I will meditate also upon all thy work, And muse on thy doings.

^{13 Ref} Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: Who is a great god like unto God?

^{14 Ref} Thou art the God that doest wonders: Thou hast made known thy strength among the peoples.

^{15 Ref} Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

^{16 Ref} The waters saw thee, O God; The waters saw thee, they were afraid: The depths also trembled.

^{17 Ref} The clouds poured out water; The skies sent out a sound: Thine arrows also went abroad.

^{18 Ref} The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightnings lightened the world: The earth trembled and shook.

^{19 Ref} Thy way was in the sea, And thy paths in the great waters, And thy footsteps were not known.

^{20 Ref} Thou leddest thy people like a flock, By the hand of Moses and Aaron. Psalm 78 Maschil of Asaph.

^{1 Ref} > My cry goes to God! Indeed, I cry to God for help, And for him to listen to me.

^{2 Ref} In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord. My hand was stretched out in the night, and didn't get tired. My soul refused to be comforted.

^{3 Ref} I remember God, and I groan. I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah.

^{4 Ref} You hold my eyelids open. I am so troubled that I can't speak.

^{5 Ref} I have considered the days of old, The years of ancient times.

^{6 Ref} I remember my song in the night. I consider in my own heart; My spirit diligently inquires:

^{7 Ref} "Will the Lord reject us forever? Will he be favorable no more?

^{8 Ref} Has his loving kindness vanished forever? Does his promise fail for generations?

^{9 Ref} Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he, in anger, withheld his compassion?" Selah.

^{10 Ref} Then I thought, "I will appeal to this: The years of the right hand of the Most High."

^{11 Ref} I will remember Yah's deeds; For I will remember your wonders of old.

^{12 Ref} I will also meditate on all your work, And consider your doings.

^{13 Ref} Your way, God, is in the sanctuary. What god is great like God?

^{14 Ref} You are the God who does wonders. You have made your strength known among the peoples.

^{15 Ref} You have redeemed your people with your arm, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

^{16 Ref} The waters saw you, God. The waters saw you, and they writhed. The depths also convulsed.

^{17 Ref} The clouds poured out water. The skies resounded with thunder. Your arrows also flashed around.

^{18 Ref} The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind. The lightnings lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook.

^{19 Ref} Your way was through the sea; Your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known.

^{20 Ref} You led your people like a flock, By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
