## In My Distress I Sought the Lord 

###### 1
My voice _rises_ to God, and I must cry aloud; My voice _rises_ to God, and He will hear me. 

###### 2
In the day of my distress I sought the Lord; In the night my hand was stretched out without weariness; My soul refused to be comforted. 

###### 3
I remember God and I am disturbed; I muse and my spirit faints. Selah. 

###### 4
You have held my eyelids _open_; I am so troubled that I cannot speak. 

###### 5
I give thought to the days of old, The years of long ago. 

###### 6
I remember my music in the night; I am musing with my heart, And my spirit is searching: 

###### 7
Will the Lord reject evermore? And will He not be favorable again? 

###### 8
Has His lovingkindness ceased forever? Has _His_ word ended from generation to generation? 

###### 9
Has God forgotten to be gracious, Or has He in anger shut up His compassion? Selah. 

###### 10
Then I said, "It is my grief, That the right hand of the Most High has changed." 

###### 11
I shall remember the deeds of Yah; Surely I will remember Your wonders of old. 

###### 12
I will meditate on all Your work And muse on Your deeds. 

###### 13
O God, Your way is holy; What god is great like God? 

###### 14
You are the God who works wonders; You have made known Your strength among the peoples. 

###### 15
You have by _Your_ arm redeemed Your people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. 

###### 16
The waters saw You, O God; The waters saw You, they were in anguish; The deeps also trembled. 

###### 17
The clouds poured out water; The skies gave forth a sound; Your arrows went here and there. 

###### 18
The sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightnings lit up the world; The earth trembled and shook. 

###### 19
Your way was in the sea And Your paths in the mighty waters, But Your footprints were not known. 

###### 20
You led Your people like a flock By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
