1. For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. I will cry unto God with my voice; even unto God with my voice, and he wilt give ear unto me.
2. In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not; my soul refused to be comforted.
3. I remember God, and am disquieted: I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah
4. Thou holdest mine eyes watching: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5. I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
6. I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart; and my spirit made diligent search.
7. Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?
