The Consoling Memory of God’s Redemptive Works
To the Chief Musician. ⚓To Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.
1I cried out to God with my voice—
To God with my voice;
And He gave ear to me.
2In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord;
My hand was stretched out in the night without ceasing;
My soul refused to be comforted.
3I remembered God, and was troubled;
I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed.
Selah
4You hold my eyelids open;
I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5I have considered the days of old,
The years of ancient times.
6I call to remembrance my song in the night;
I meditate within my heart,
And my spirit makes diligent search.
7Will the Lord cast off forever?
And will He be favorable no more?
8Has His mercy ceased forever?
Has His⚓promise failed forevermore?
9Has God forgotten to be gracious?
Has He in anger shut up His tender mercies?
Selah
10And I said, “This is my anguish;
But I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.”
11I will remember the works of the Lord;
Surely I will remember Your wonders of old.
12I will also meditate on all Your work,
And talk of Your deeds.
13Your way, O God, is in the ⚓sanctuary;
Who is so great a God as our God?
14You are the God who does wonders;
You have declared Your strength among the peoples.
15You have with Your arm redeemed Your people,
The sons of Jacob and Joseph.
Selah
16The waters saw You, O God;
The waters saw You, they were ⚓afraid;
The depths also trembled.
17The clouds poured out water;
The skies sent out a sound;
Your arrows also flashed about.
18The voice of Your thunder was in the whirlwind;
The lightnings lit up the world;
The earth trembled and shook.
19Your way was in the sea,
Your path in the great waters,
And Your footsteps were not known.
20You led Your people like a flock
By the hand of Moses and Aaron.

亞薩的詩。照耶杜頓的體裁,交給聖詠團長。遇難時得安慰
1我要向上帝發聲呼求;
我向上帝發聲,他必側耳聽我。
2我在患難之日尋求主,
在夜間不住地舉手禱告⚓,
我的心不肯受安慰。
3我想念上帝,就煩躁不安;
我沉思默想,心靈發昏。(細拉)
4你使我不能閉眼;
我心煩亂,甚至不能說話。
5我追想古時之日,
上古之年。
6夜間我想起我的歌曲⚓,
我的心默想,我的靈仔細省察:
7「難道主要永遠丟棄我,
不再施恩嗎?
8難道他的慈愛永遠窮盡,
他的應許世世廢棄嗎?
9難道上帝忘記施恩,
因發怒就止住他的憐憫嗎?」(細拉)
10我說,至高者右手的能力已改變,
這是我的悲哀。
11我要記念耶和華所做的,
要記念你古時的奇事;
12我要思想你所做的,
默念你的作為。
13上帝啊,你的道是神聖的;
有何神明大如上帝呢?
14你是行奇事的上帝,
你曾在萬民中彰顯能力。
15你曾用膀臂贖了你的子民,
就是雅各和約瑟的子孫。(細拉)
16上帝啊,眾水見你,
眾水一見你就都驚惶,
深淵也都戰抖。
17密雲倒出水來,
天空發出響聲,
你的箭也飛行四方。
18你的雷聲在旋風之中,
閃電照亮世界,
大地戰抖震動。
19你的道在海中,
你的路在大水之中,
你的腳蹤無人知道。
20你曾藉摩西和亞倫的手引導你的百姓,
好像領羊羣一般。
