In My Distress I Sought the Lord
For the choir director. According to Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A Psalm.
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.”
