³ I think of God, and I moan;
    I meditate, and my spirit faints.Selah
⁴ Thou dost hold my eyelids from closing;
    I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
⁵ I consider the days of old,
    I remember the years 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 favorable?
⁸ Has his steadfast love for ever ceased?
    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;
    yea, I will remember thy wonders of old.
¹² I will meditate on all thy work,
    and muse on thy mighty deeds.
¹³ Thy way, O God, is holy.
    What god is great like our God?
¹⁴ Thou art the God who workest wonders,
    who hast manifested thy might among the peoples.
¹⁵ Thou didst with thy arm redeem thy people,
    the sons of Jacob and Joseph.Selah

¹⁶ When the waters saw thee, O God,
    when the waters saw thee, they were afraid,
    yea, the deep trembled.
¹⁷ The clouds poured out water;
    the skies gave forth thunder;
    thy arrows flashed on every side.
¹⁸ The crash of thy thunder was in the whirlwind;
    thy lightnings lighted up the world;
    the earth trembled and shook.
¹⁹ Thy way was through the sea,
    thy path through the great waters;
    yet thy footprints were unseen.
²⁰ Thou didst lead thy people like a flock
    by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
