Gods power.

² In the day of my trouble, I sought the Lord; my sore ranne in the night, and ceased not: my soule refused to be comforted.²

³ I remembred God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was ouerwhelmed. Selah.

⁴ Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speake.

⁵ I haue considered the dayes of old, the yeeres of auncient times.

⁶ I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine owne heart, and my spirit made diligent search.

⁷ Will the Lord cast off for euer? and will hee be fauourable no more?

⁸ Is his mercy cleane gone for euer? doth his promise faile for euermore?⁸

⁹ Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut vp his tender mercies? Selah.

¹⁰ And I sayd, This is my infirmitie: but I will remember the yeeres of the right hand of the most high.

¹¹ I will remember the workes of the Lord: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.

¹⁴ Thou art the God that doest wonders; thou hast declared thy strength among the people.

¹⁵ Thou hast with thine arme redeemed thy people, the sonnes of Iacob and Ioseph. Selah.

¹⁶ The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee: they were afraid; the depths also were troubled.

¹⁷ The cloudes powred out water, the skies sent out a sound; thine arrowes also went abroad.¹⁷

¹⁸ The voice of thy thunder was in the heauen: the lightnings lightned the world, the earth trembled and shooke.

¹⁹ Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters: and thy foot-steps are not knowen.

²⁰ Thou leddest thy people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.²⁰
