¹ Will the Lord reject forever? And will He never be favorable again?

² Has His lovingkindness ceased forever? Have His promises ended for all time?

³ Has God forgotten to be gracious? Or has He in anger withdrawn His compassion? Selah.

⁴ And I said, "This is my grief, That the right hand of the Most High has changed [and His lovingkindness is withheld]."

⁵ I will [solemnly] remember the deeds of the LORD; Yes, I will [wholeheartedly] remember Your wonders of old.

⁶ I will meditate on all Your works And thoughtfully consider all Your [great and wondrous] deeds.

⁷ Your way, O God, is holy [far from sin and guilt]. What god is great like our God?

⁸ You are the [awesome] God who works [powerful] wonders; You have demonstrated Your power among the people.

⁹ You have with Your [great] arm redeemed Your people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

¹⁰ The waters [of the Red Sea] saw You, O God; The waters saw You, they were in anguish; The deeps also trembled.

¹¹ The clouds poured down water; The skies sent out a sound [of rumbling thunder]; Your arrows (lightning) flashed here and there.

¹² The voice of Your thunder was in the[2] whirlwind; The lightnings illumined the world; The earth trembled and shook.

¹³ Your way [of escape for Your people] was through the sea, And Your paths through the great waters, And Your footprints were not traceable.

¹⁴ You led Your people like a flock By the hand of Moses and Aaron [to the promised goal].

¹⁵ A skillful song, or a didactic or reflective poem, of Asaph. Listen, O my people, to my teaching; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth [and be willing to learn].
