⁴ You keep my eyelids from closing;
    I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
⁵ I consider the days of old,
    and remember the years of long ago.
⁶ I commune^[a] with my heart in the night;
    I meditate and search my spirit:^[b]
7 ‘Will the Lord spurn for ever,
    and never again be favourable?
⁸ Has his steadfast love ceased for ever?
    Are his promises at an end for all time?
⁹ Has God forgotten to be gracious?
    Has he in anger shut up his compassion?’Selah
¹⁰ And I say, ‘It is my grief
    that the right hand of the Most High has changed.’

¹¹ I will call to mind the deeds of the Lord;
    I will remember your wonders of old.
¹² I will meditate on all your work,
    and muse on your mighty deeds.
¹³ Your way, O God, is holy.
    What god is so great as our God?
¹⁴ You are the God who works wonders;
    you have displayed your might among the peoples.
¹⁵ With your strong arm you redeemed your people,
    the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.Selah

¹⁶ When the waters saw you, O God,
    when the waters saw you, they were afraid;
    the very deep trembled.
¹⁷ The clouds poured out water;
    the skies thundered;
    your arrows flashed on every side.
¹⁸ The crash of your thunder was in the whirlwind;
    your lightnings lit up the world;
    the earth trembled and shook.
¹⁹ Your way was through the sea,
    your path, through the mighty waters;
    yet your footprints were unseen.
²⁰ You led your people like a flock
    by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
