Read the chapter

1For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. I cried out to God; I cried aloud to God to hear me. ✦ 2In the day of trouble I sought the Lord; through the night my outstretched hands did not grow weary; my soul refused to be comforted. ✦ 3I remembered You, O God, and I groaned; I mused and my spirit grew faint. Selah ✦ 4You have kept my eyes from closing; I am too troubled to speak. ✦ 5I considered the days of old, the years long in the past. ✦ 6At night I remembered my song; in my heart I mused, and my spirit pondered: ✦ 7“Will the Lord spurn us forever and never show His favor again? ✦ 8Is His loving devotion gone forever? Has His promise failed for all time? ✦ 9Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has His anger shut off His compassion?” Selah ✦ 10So I said, “I am grieved that the right hand of the Most High has changed.” ✦ 11I will remember the works of the LORD; yes, I will remember Your wonders of old. ✦ 12I will reflect on all You have done and ponder Your mighty deeds. ✦ 13Your way, O God, is holy. What god is so great as our God? ✦ 14You are the God who works wonders; You display Your strength among the peoples. ✦ 15With power You redeemed Your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah ✦ 16The waters saw You, O God; the waters saw You and swirled; even the depths were shaken. ✦ 17The clouds poured down water; the skies resounded with thunder; Your arrows flashed back and forth. ✦ 18Your thunder resounded in the whirlwind; the lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked. ✦ 19Your path led through the sea, Your way through the mighty waters, but Your footprints were not to be found. ✦ 20You led Your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. ✦

Christ at the center

The Psalms are Christ's own prayer book and a gallery of his portraits — the suffering one of Psalm 22, the risen Lord of Psalm 16, the priest-king of Psalm 110, the Son to whom the nations are given.
