3 In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord; my hand is stretched out in the night, and does not go down; My soul refuses consolation.

4 I remember God, and tremble; I think, and my spirit faints.

5 Thou wilt not let me close my eyes; I'm shocked and I can't speak.

6 I meditate on the days of old, on the years of ages past;

7 I remember my songs in the night, I converse with my heart, and my spirit testeth:

8 Has the Lord rejected him for ever, and will he no longer be well pleased?

9 Has his mercy ceased for ever, and his word is cut off for generations and generations?

10 Has God forgotten to have mercy? Did He shut up His mercies in anger?

11 And I said, 'This is my grief, the change of the right hand of the Most High.'

12 I will remember the works of the Lord; I will remember Thy ancient wonders;

13 I will take heed to all thy works, to meditate on thy great works.

14 God! holy is thy way. Who is God so great as [our] God!

15 Thou art the God that works miracles; Thou hast manifested Thy power among the nations;

16 Thou hast delivered thy people with an arm, the sons of Jacob and Joseph.

17 The waters have seen thee, O God, and the waters have seen thee, and have feared, and the depths have trembled.

18 The clouds poured out waters, the clouds gave out thunder, and Thy arrows flew.

19 The voice of Thy thunder is in the circle of heaven; lightning illuminated the universe; the earth shook and shook.

20 Thy way is in the sea, and thy path is in great waters, and thy traces are unknown.

21 Thou hast led thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
