• In My Distress I Sought the Lord

  • 1 My voice rises to God, and I must cry aloud; My voice rises to God, and He will hear me.
  • 2 In the day of my distress I sought the Lord; In the night my hand was stretched out without weariness; My soul refused to be comforted.
  • 3 I remember God and I am disturbed; I muse and my spirit faints. Selah.
  • 4 You have held my eyelids open; I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
  • 5 I give thought to the days of old, The years of long ago.
  • 6 I remember my music in the night; I am musing with my heart, And my spirit is searching:
  • 7 Will the Lord reject evermore? And will He not be favorable again?
  • 8 Has His lovingkindness ceased forever? Has His word ended from generation to generation?
  • 9 Has God forgotten to be gracious, Or has He in anger shut up His compassion? Selah.
  • 10 Then I said, “It is my grief, That the right hand of the Most High has changed.”
  • 11 I shall remember the deeds of Yah; Surely I will remember Your wonders of old.
  • 12 I will meditate on all Your work And muse on Your deeds.
  • 13 O God, Your way is holy; What god is great like God?
  • 14 You are the God who works wonders; You have made known Your strength among the peoples.
  • 15 You have by Your arm redeemed Your people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
  • 16 The waters saw You, O God; The waters saw You, they were in anguish; The deeps also trembled.
  • 17 The clouds poured out water; The skies gave forth a sound; Your arrows went here and there.
  • 18 The sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightnings lit up the world; The earth trembled and shook.
  • 19 Your way was in the sea And Your paths in the mighty waters, But Your footprints were not known.
  • 20 You led Your people like a flock By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
