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 acry aloud;
My voice rises to God, and He will hear me.
2 In the aday of my distress I sought the Lord;
bIn the night my chand was stretched out without weariness;
My soul drefused to be comforted.
3 I remember God and I am adisturbed;
I bmuse and cmy spirit faints. Selah.
4 You have held my eyelids open;
I am so troubled that I acannot speak.
5 I give thought to the adays of old,
The years of long ago.
6 I remember my amusic in the night;
I bam musing with my heart,
And my spirit is searching:
7 Will the Lord areject evermore?
And will He bnot be favorable again?
8 Has His alovingkindness ceased forever?
Has His bword ended from generation to generation?
9 Has God aforgotten to be gracious,
Or has He in anger shut up His bcompassion? Selah.
10 Then I said, “aIt is my grief,
That the bright hand of the Most High has changed.”
