1 To the Overseer, for Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.
My voice [is] to God, and I cry, my voice [is] to God, And He hath given ear unto me.
2 In a day of my distress the Lord I sought, My hand by night hath been spread out, And it doth not cease, My soul hath refused to be comforted.
3 I remember God, and make a noise, I meditate, and feeble is my spirit. Selah. And my spirit – Ruach, mind, courage. E318

4 Thou hast taken hold of the watches of mine eyes, I have been moved, and I speak not.
5 I have reckoned the days of old, The years of the ages.
6 I remember my music in the night, With my heart I meditate, and my spirit doth search diligently: And my spirit – Ruach, mind. E318

10 And I say: 'My weakness is, The changes of the right hand of the Most High.' I will remember – Nothing is more encouraging to faith than to consider the Lord's past faithfulness to us and his promise that thus it shall be unto the end. R2163:5*

13 O God, in holiness [is] Thy way, Who [is] a great god like God
14 Thou [art] the God doing wonders. Thou hast made known among the peoples Thy strength,
15 Thou hast redeemed with strength Thy people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. With thine arm – The Lord Jesus. E47

16 The waters have seen Thee, O God, The waters have seen Thee, They are afraid also depths are troubled.
17 Poured out waters have thick clouds, The skies have given forth a noise, Also Thine arrows go up and down.
18 The voice of Thy thunder [is] in the spheres, Lightnings have lightened the world, The earth hath trembled, yea, it shaketh. Voice of thy thunder – Symbol of controversy. R576:6
