Vers 1
Unto the Lord I with my voice,
I unto God did cry;
Ev’n with my voice,
and unto me his ear he did apply.Vers 2
I in my trouble sought the Lord,
my sore by night did run,
And ceased not; my grieved soul
did consolation shun.Vers 3
I to remembrance God did call,
yet trouble did remain;
And overwhelm’d my spirit was,
whilst I did sore complain.Vers 4
Mine eyes, debarr’d from rest and sleep,
thou makest still to wake;
My trouble is so great that I
unable am to speak.Vers 5
The days of old to mind I call’d,
and oft did think upon
The times and ages that are past
full many years agone.Vers 6
By night my song I call to mind,
and commune with my heart;
My sp’rit did carefully enquire
how I might ease my smart.Vers 7
For ever will the Lord cast off,
and gracious be no more?
For ever is his mercy gone?
fails his word evermore?Vers 8
Is’t true that to be gracious
the Lord forgotten hath?
And that his tender mercies he
hath shut up in his wrath?Vers 9
Then did I say, That surely this
is mine infirmity:
I’ll mind the years of the right hand
of him that is most High.Vers 10
Yea, I remember will the works
performed by the Lord:
The wonders done of old by thee
I surely will record.Vers 11
I also will of all thy works
my meditation make;
And of thy doings to discourse
great pleasure I will take.Vers 12
O God, thy way most holy is
within thy sanctuary;
And what god is so great in pow’r
as is our God most high?Vers 13
Thou art the God that wonders do’st
by thy right hand most strong:
Thy mighty pow’r thou hast declar’d
the nations among.Vers 14
To thine own people with thine arm
thou didst redemption bring;
To Jacob’s sons,
and to the tribes of Joseph that do spring.Vers 15
The waters, Lord, perceived thee,
the waters saw thee well;
And they for fear aside did flee;
the depths on trembling fell.Vers 16
The clouds in water forth were pour’d,
sound loudly did the sky;
And swiftly through the world abroad
thine arrows fierce did fly.Vers 17
Thy thunder’s voice alongst the heav’n
a mighty noise did make;
By lightnings lighten’d was the world,
th’ earth tremble did and shake.Vers 18
Thy way is in the sea, and in
the waters great thy path;
Yet are thy footsteps hid, O Lord;
none knowledge thereof hath.Vers 19
Thy people thou didst safely lead,
like to a flock of sheep;
By Moses’ hand and Aaron’s thou
didst them conduct and keep.
