1. To the director: To Jeduthun. One of Asaph's songs. I cry out to God for help. I cry out to you, God; listen to me!
|
1. To the chief Musician H5329 , to H5921 Jeduthun H3038 , A Psalm H4210 of Asaph H623 . I cried H6817 unto H413 God H430 with my voice H6963 , even unto H413 God H430 with my voice H6963 ; and he gave ear H238 unto H413 me.
|
|
2. My Lord, in my time of trouble I came to you. I reached out for you all night long. My soul refused to be comforted.
|
2. In the day H3117 of my trouble H6869 I sought H1875 the Lord H136 : my sore H3027 ran H5064 in the night H3915 , and ceased H6313 not H3808 : my soul H5315 refused H3985 to be comforted H5162 .
|
|
3. I thought about you, God, and tried to tell you how I felt, but I could not.
|
3. I remembered H2142 God H430 , and was troubled H1993 : I complained H7878 , and my spirit H7307 was overwhelmed H5848 . Selah H5542 .
|
|
4. You would not let me sleep. I tried to say something, but I was too upset.
|
4. Thou holdest H270 mine eyes H5869 waking H8109 : I am so troubled H6470 that I cannot H3808 speak H1696 .
|
|
5. I kept thinking about the past, about things that happened long ago.
|
5. I have considered H2803 the days H3117 of old H4480 H6924 , the years H8141 of ancient times H5769 .
|
|
6. During the night, I thought about my songs. I talked to myself, trying to understand what is happening.
|
6. I call to remembrance H2142 my song H5058 in the night H3915 : I commune H7878 with H5973 mine own heart H3824 : and my spirit H7307 made diligent search H2664 .
|
|
7. I wondered, "Has our Lord rejected us forever? Will he ever accept us again?
|
7. Will the Lord H136 cast off H2186 forever H5769 ? and will he be favorable H7521 no H3808 more H3254 H5750 ?
|
|
8. Is his love gone forever? Will he never again speak to us?
|
8. Is his mercy H2617 clean gone H656 forever H5331 ? doth his promise H562 fail H1584 forevermore H1755 H1755 ?
|
|
9. Has God forgotten what mercy is? Has his compassion changed to anger?" Selah
|
9. Hath God H410 forgotten H7911 to be gracious H2589 ? hath he in anger H639 shut up H7092 his tender mercies H7356 ? Selah H5542 .
|
|
10. Then I said to myself, "What bothers me most is the thought that God Most High has lost his power."
|
10. And I said H559 , This H1931 is my infirmity H2470 : but I will remember the years H8141 of the right hand H3225 of the most High H5945 .
|
|
11. Lord, I remember what you have done. I remember the amazing things you did long ago.
|
11. I will remember H2142 the works H4611 of the LORD H3050 : surely H3588 I will remember H2142 thy wonders H6382 of old H4480 H6924 .
|
|
12. I think about those things. I think about them all the time.
|
12. I will meditate H1897 also of all H3605 thy work H6467 , and talk H7878 of thy doings H5949 .
|
|
13. God, all that you do is holy. No god is as great as you are.
|
13. Thy way H1870 , O God H430 , is in the sanctuary H6944 : who H4310 is so great H1419 a God H410 as our God H430 ?
|
|
14. You are the God who does amazing things. You showed the nations your great power.
|
14. Thou H859 art the God H410 that doest H6213 wonders H6382 : thou hast declared H3045 thy strength H5797 among the people H5971 .
|
|
15. By your power you saved your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
|
15. Thou hast with thine arm H2220 redeemed H1350 thy people H5971 , the sons H1121 of Jacob H3290 and Joseph H3130 . Selah H5542 .
|
|
16. God, the water saw you and became afraid. The deep water shook with fear.
|
16. The waters H4325 saw H7200 thee , O God H430 , the waters H4325 saw H7200 thee ; they were afraid H2342 : the depths H8415 also H637 were troubled H7264 .
|
|
17. The thick clouds dropped their water. Thunder roared in the sky above. Your arrows of lightning flashed through the clouds.
|
17. The clouds H5645 poured out H2229 water H4325 : the skies H7834 sent out H5414 a sound H6963 : thine arrows H2671 also H637 went abroad H1980 .
|
|
18. There were loud claps of thunder. Lightning lit up the world. The earth shook and trembled.
|
18. The voice H6963 of thy thunder H7482 was in the heaven H1534 : the lightnings H1300 lightened H215 the world H8398 : the earth H776 trembled H7264 and shook H7493 .
|
|
19. You walked through the water and crossed the deep sea, but you left no footprints.
|
19. Thy way H1870 is in the sea H3220 , and thy path H7635 in the great H7227 waters H4325 , and thy footsteps H6119 are not H3808 known H3045 .
|
|
20. You led your people like sheep, using Moses and Aaron to guide them.
|
20. Thou leddest H5148 thy people H5971 like a flock H6629 by the hand H3027 of Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 .
