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 will give ear unto me.
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.
I remember God, and am disquieted:
I complain, and my spirit {Or, fainteth}is overwhelmed. [Selah
Thou holdest mine eyes watching:
I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
I have considered the days of old,
The years of ancient times.
I call to remembrance my song in the night:
I commune with mine own heart;
And my spirit maketh diligent search.
Will the Lord cast off for ever?
And will he be favorable no more?
Is his lovingkindness clean gone for ever?
Doth his promise fail for evermore?
Hath God forgotten to be gracious?
Hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? [Selah
And I said, {Or, This is my grief. That the right hand of the Most High doth change}This is my infirmity;
But I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.
I will make mention of the deeds of {Hebrew: Jah.}Jehovah;
For I will remember thy wonders of old.
I will meditate also upon all thy work,
And muse on thy doings.
Thy way, O God, is {Or, in holiness}in the sanctuary:
Who is a great god like unto God?
Thou art the God that doest wonders:
Thou hast made known thy strength among the peoples.
Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people,
The sons of Jacob and Joseph.
[Selah
The waters saw thee, O God;
The waters saw thee, they were {Or, were in pain}afraid:
The depths also trembled.
The clouds poured out water;
The skies sent out a sound:
Thine arrows also went abroad.
The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind;
The lightnings lightened the world:
The earth trembled and shook.
Thy way was in the sea,
And thy paths in the great waters,
And thy footsteps were not known.
Thou leddest thy people like a flock,
By the hand of Moses and Aaron.

The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters:The God of glory thundereth,Even Jehovah upon {Or, great}many waters.
The voice of Jehovah is powerful;The voice of Jehovah is full of majesty.
The voice of Jehovah breaketh the cedars;Yea, Jehovah breaketh in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
He maketh them also to skip like a calf;Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild-ox.
The voice of Jehovah {Or, heweth out flames of fire}cleaveth the flames of fire.
The voice of Jehovah shaketh the wilderness;Jehovah shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.
The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds to calve,And strippeth the forests bare:And in his temple everything saith, Glory.
His lightnings lightened the world:The earth saw, and trembled.
And mount Sinai, the whole of it, smoked, because Jehovah descended upon it in fire; and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.
And it came to pass on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of a trumpet exceeding loud; and all the people that were in the camp trembled.
And his brightness was as the light;He had {Hebrew: horns.}rays coming forth {Or, at his side}from his hand;And there was the hiding of his power.
Then the earth shook and trembled,The foundations of heaven quakedAnd were shaken, because he was wroth.
Yea, at this my heart trembleth,And is moved out of its place.
Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice,And the {Or, muttering}sound that goeth out of his mouth.
He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven,And his {Hebrew: light.}lightning unto the {Hebrew: skirts.}ends of the earth.
After it a voice roareth;He thundereth with the voice of his majesty;And he restraineth not {Hebrew: them.}the lightnings when his voice is heard
God thundereth marvellously with his voice;Great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
After these things I saw another angel coming down out of heaven, having great authority; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
Jehovah thundered from heaven,And the Most High uttered his voice.
And there was opened the {Or, sanctuary}temple of God that is in heaven; and there was seen in his {Or, sanctuary}temple the ark of his covenant; and there followed lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail.
And behold, the veil of the {Or, sanctuary}temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake; and the rocks were rent;
And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled away the stone, and sat upon it.
And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
