2 In the day of my tribulation I sought God with mine hands; in the night before or toward him, and I am not deceived. My soul forsook to be comforted;
3 I was mindful of God, and I delighted, and I was exercised; and my spirit failed.
4 Mine eyes before took wakings; I was troubled, and I spake not.
5 I thought on eld [or old] days; and I had in mind everlasting years.
6 And I thought in the night with mine heart; and I was exercised, and I cleansed my spirit.
7 Whether God shall cast away with-out end; either shall he not lay to, that he be more pleased yet?
8 Either shall he cut away his mercy into the end; from generation into generation?
9 Either shall God forget to do mercy; either shall he withhold his mercies in his ire [or wrath]?
10 And I said, Now I began; this is the changing of the right hand of the high God.
11 I had mind on the works of the Lord; for I shall have mind from the beginning of thy marvels.
12 And I shall think on all thy works; and I shall be exercised, either occupied, in thy findings.
13 God, thy way was in the holy place; what God is great as our God?
14 thou art God, that doest marvels. Thou madest thy virtue known among peoples;
15 thou again-boughtest in thine arm thy people, the sons of Jacob and of Joseph.
16 God, waters saw thee, waters saw thee, and dreaded; and depths of waters were troubled.
17 The multitude of the sound of waters; clouds gave voice. For why thine arrows pass [through];
18 the voice of thy thunder was in a wheel. Thy lightnings shined to the world; the earth was moved, and trembled.
19 Thy way in the sea, and thy paths in many waters; and thy steps shall not be known.
20 Thou leddest forth thy people as sheep; in the hand of Moses and Aaron.
