¹My cry goes to God! Indeed, I cry to God for help, And for him to listen to me.

³I remember God, and I groan. I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah.

⁴You hold my eyelids open. I am so troubled that I can`t speak.

⁵I have considered the days of old, The years of ancient times.

⁶I remember my song in the night. I consider in my own heart; My spirit diligently inquires:

⁷"Will the Lord reject us forever? Will he be favorable no more?

⁸Has his lovingkindness vanished forever? Does his promise fail for generations?

⁹Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he, in anger, withheld his compassion?" Selah.

¹⁰Then I thought, "I will appeal to this: The years of the right hand of the Most High."

¹¹I will remember Yah`s deeds; For I will remember your wonders of old.

¹²I will also meditate on all your work, And consider your doings.

¹⁶The waters saw you, God. The waters saw you, and they writhed. The depths also convulsed.

¹⁷The clouds poured out water. The skies resounded with thunder. Your arrows also flashed around.

¹⁸The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind. The lightnings lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook.

¹⁹Your way was through the sea; Your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known.

²⁰You led your people like a flock, By the hand of Moses and Aaron. Psalm 78 A contemplation by Asaph.
