The Scriptures (ISR 1998) 1My voice is to Elohim, and I cry; My voice is to Elohim, and He listened to me. 2In the day of my distress I sought יהוה; My hand was stretched out in the night And it did not cease, My being refused to be comforted. 3I remembered Elohim, and groaned; I complained, and my spirit grew faint. Selah. 4You ceased the watches of my eyes, I was too troubled to speak. 5I have thought about the days of old, The years long past. 6I remember my song in the night, I meditate within my heart, And my spirit searches diligently. 7Would יהוה reject forever, And never again be pleased? 8Has His kindness ceased forever, Has the promise failed for all generations? 9Has Ěl forgotten to show favour? Has He shut up His compassions in displeasure? Selah. 10And I said, “This is my grief: That the right hand of the Most High has changed.” 11I remember the deeds of Yah, For I remember Your wonders of old. 12And I shall meditate on all Your work, And talk of Your deeds. 13Your way, O Elohim, is in Set-apartnessa; Who is a great Ěl like Elohim? 14You are the Ěl who does wonders; You have made known Your strength among the peoples. 15By Your arm You have redeemed Your people, The sons of Ya‛aqoḇ and Yosĕph. Selah. 16The waters saw You, O Elohim; The waters saw You, they were afraid; The depths also trembled. 17The clouds poured out water; The heavens rumbled; Also, Your arrows flashed back and forth. 18The voice of Your thunder rolled along; Lightnings lit up the world; The earth trembled and shook. 19Your way was in the sea, And Your path in the great waters, And Your footsteps were not known. 20You did lead Your people like a flock By the hand of Mosheh and Aharon. |
