I remembered my songs in the night.
My heart meditated and my spirit asked:

Has he in anger withheld his compassion?”

Hath God forgotten to be gracious? or hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
Then I thought, “To this I will appeal:
the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand.
the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand.
Then said I, This is my weakness: -- the years of the right hand of the Most High

I will consider all your works
and meditate on all your mighty deeds.”
and meditate on all your mighty deeds.”
And I will meditate upon all thy work, and muse upon thy doings.
Your ways, God, are holy.
What god is as great as our God?
What god is as great as our God?
O God, thy way is in the sanctuary: who is so great a god as God?
You are the God who performs miracles;
you display your power among the peoples.

Thou art the God that doest wonders; thou hast declared thy strength among the peoples.
With your mighty arm you redeemed your people,
the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.

the waters saw you and writhed;
the very depths were convulsed.
the waters saw you and writhed;

the heavens resounded with thunder;
your arrows flashed back and forth.
the heavens resounded with thunder;

your lightning lit up the world;
the earth trembled and quaked.
your lightning lit up the world;
the earth trembled and quaked.
The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind, lightnings lit up the world; the earth was troubled and it quaked.
Your path led through the sea,
your way through the mighty waters,
though your footprints were not seen.
your way through the mighty waters,
though your footprints were not seen.
Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths are in the great waters; and thy footsteps are not known.
