³ I remembered^(F) you, God, and I groaned;^(G)
    I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.^[b](H)
4 You kept my eyes from closing;
    I was too troubled to speak.^(I)
5 I thought about the former days,^(J)
    the years of long ago;
⁶ I remembered my songs in the night.
    My heart meditated and my spirit asked:

⁷ “Will the Lord reject forever?^(K)
    Will he never show his favor^(L) again?
⁸ Has his unfailing love^(M) vanished forever?
    Has his promise^(N) failed for all time?
⁹ Has God forgotten to be merciful?^(O)
    Has he in anger withheld his compassion?^(P)”

¹⁰ Then I thought, “To this I will appeal:
    the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand.^(Q)
11 I will remember the deeds of the Lord;
    yes, I will remember your miracles^(R) of long ago.
¹² I will consider^(S) all your works
    and meditate on all your mighty deeds.”^(T)

¹³ Your ways, God, are holy.
    What god is as great as our God?^(U)
14 You are the God who performs miracles;^(V)
    you display your power among the peoples.
¹⁵ With your mighty arm you redeemed your people,^(W)
    the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.

¹⁶ The waters^(X) saw you, God,
    the waters saw you and writhed;^(Y)
    the very depths were convulsed.
¹⁷ The clouds poured down water,^(Z)
    the heavens resounded with thunder;^(AA)
    your arrows^(AB) flashed back and forth.
¹⁸ Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind,^(AC)
    your lightning^(AD) lit up the world;
    the earth trembled and quaked.^(AE)
19 Your path^(AF) led through the sea,^(AG)
    your way through the mighty waters,
    though your footprints were not seen.

²⁰ You led your people^(AH) like a flock^(AI)
    by the hand of Moses and Aaron.^(AJ)
