In the Day of Trouble I Sought the LORD
For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.
I cried out to God; Psa 3:4Psa 142:1-3Psa 50:1Psa 39:1Psa 62:1Psa 34:61Ch 25:31Ch 25:6
I cried aloud to God to hear me.
In the day of trouble I sought the Lord; Isa 26:9Psa 50:15Gen 37:35Isa 26:16Heb 5:7Est 4:1-4Jon 2:1-2Hos 5:13
through the night my outstretched hands did not grow weary;
my soul refused to be comforted.
I remembered You, O God, and I groaned; Psa 142:2-3Psa 61:2Job 31:23Job 7:11Jer 17:17Job 23:15-16Job 6:4Lam 3:39
I mused and my spirit grew faint.

You have kept my eyes from closing; Job 7:13-15Psa 6:6Job 2:13Est 6:1Job 6:3
I am too troubled to speak.
I considered the days of old, Deu 32:7Isa 51:9Psa 143:5Psa 44:1Isa 63:9-15Mic 7:14-15Psa 74:12-18
the years long in the past.
At night I remembered my song; Psa 42:8Psa 4:4Psa 139:23-24Lam 3:40Act 16:25Ecc 1:16Job 10:2Job 35:10
in my heart I mused, and my spirit pondered:
“Will the Lord spurn us forever Psa 85:1Lam 3:31-32Psa 89:46Rom 11:1-2Psa 85:5Psa 13:1-2Psa 37:24Psa 89:38
and never show His favor again?
Is His loving devotion gone forever? Num 23:192Pe 3:9Rom 9:6Jer 15:18Luk 16:25-26Num 14:34Isa 27:11
Has His promise failed for all time?
Has God forgotten to be gracious? Isa 49:14-15Psa 40:111Jn 3:17Isa 40:27Isa 63:15Luk 13:25-28Psa 25:6Psa 51:1
Has His anger shut off His compassion?”
Selah
So I said, “I am grieved Job 42:3Exo 15:6Mrk 9:24Psa 31:22Hab 3:2-13Psa 77:5Deu 4:34Lam 3:18-23
that the right hand of the Most High has changed.” 1
I will remember the works of the LORD; Psa 143:51Ch 16:12Psa 105:5Isa 5:12Psa 28:5Psa 78:11Psa 111:4Psa 77:10
yes, I will remember Your wonders of old.
I will reflect on all You have done Psa 71:24Psa 145:11Deu 6:7Psa 105:2Luk 24:14-32Psa 104:34Psa 143:5Psa 145:4
and ponder Your mighty deeds.
Your way, O God, is holy. Exo 15:11Psa 73:17Isa 40:25Deu 32:31Isa 40:18Psa 89:6-8Isa 46:5Psa 27:4
What god is so great as our God?
You are the God who works wonders; Dan 6:27Psa 136:4Exo 15:11Exo 13:14Isa 51:9Psa 72:18Jos 9:9-10Rev 15:3
You display Your strength among the peoples.
With power You redeemed Your people, Deu 9:29Exo 6:6Isa 63:9Deu 9:26Psa 74:2Gen 48:3-20Psa 136:11-12
the sons of Jacob and Joseph.

The waters saw You, O God; Exo 14:21Hab 3:15Jos 3:15-16Psa 114:3-6Hab 3:8-10
the waters saw You and swirled;
even the depths were shaken.
The clouds poured down water; Psa 18:142Sa 22:15Jdg 5:4Psa 144:6Psa 68:33Psa 68:8-9Hab 3:11
the skies resounded with thunder;
Your arrows flashed back and forth.
Your thunder resounded in the whirlwind; Psa 97:4Rev 11:192Sa 22:14Exo 19:16Hab 3:4Jdg 5:4Mat 27:51Mat 28:2
the lightning lit up the world;
the earth trembled and quaked.
Your path led through the sea, Exo 14:28Hab 3:15Neh 9:11Psa 29:10Nam 1:3-4Psa 97:2Rom 11:33
Your way through the mighty waters,
but Your footprints were not to be found. 2
You led Your people like a flock Exo 13:21Psa 78:52Exo 14:19Isa 63:11-12Psa 80:1Hos 12:13Act 7:35-36
by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
