1 I cried out to God for
help;
I cried out to God to hear me.
2 When I was in distress, I sought the
Lord;
at night I stretched out untiring
hands,
and I would not be comforted.
3 I
remembered you, God, and I groaned;
I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.[b]
4 You kept my eyes from closing;
I was too troubled to speak.
5 I thought about the former days,
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?
Will he never show his
favor again?
8 Has his unfailing love vanished
forever?
Has his promise failed for all
time?
9 Has God forgotten to be
merciful?
Has he in anger withheld his
compassion?”
10 Then I thought,
“To this I will appeal:
the years when the Most High stretched out his
right hand.
11 I will remember the deeds of
the Lord;
yes, I will remember your miracles of long
ago.
12 I will consider all your
works
and meditate on all your mighty
deeds.”
