1 For the excellent musitian Ieduthun. A Psalme committed to Asaph. My voyce came to God, when I cryed: my voyce came to God, and he heard me.

2 In the day of my trouble I sought ye Lord: my sore ranne and ceased not in the night: my soule refused comfort.

3 I did thinke vpon God, & was troubled: I praied, and my spirit was full of anguish. Selah.

4 Thou keepest mine eyes waking: I was astonied and could not speake.

5 Then I considered the daies of olde, and the yeeres of ancient time.

6 I called to remembrance my song in the night: I communed with mine owne heart, and my spirit searched diligently.

7 Will the Lorde absent him selfe for euer? and will he shewe no more fauour?

8 Is his mercie cleane gone for euer? doeth his promes faile for euermore?

9 Hath God forgotten to be mercifull? hath he shut vp his teder mercies in displeasure? Selah.

10 And I sayde, This is my death: yet I remembred the yeeres of the right hand of the most High.

11 I remembred the workes of the Lorde: certainely I remembred thy wonders of olde.

12 I did also meditate all thy woorkes, and did deuise of thine actes, saying,

13 Thy way, O God, is in the Sanctuarie: who is so great a God as our God!

14 Thou art ye God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy power among the people.

15 Thou hast redeemed thy people with thine arme, euen the sonnes of Iaakob & Ioseph. Selah.

16 The waters sawe thee, O God: the waters sawe thee, and were afraide: yea, the depths trembled.

17 The cloudes powred out water: the heauens gaue a sounde: yea, thine arrowes went abroade.

18 The voyce of thy thunder was rounde about: the lightnings lightened the worlde: the earth trembled and shooke.

19 Thy way is in the Sea, and thy paths in the great waters, & thy footesteps are not knowen.

20 Thou diddest leade thy people like sheepe by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
