1. Unto the end. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.
2. I cried out to the Lord with my voice, to God with my voice, and he attended to me.
3. In the days of my tribulation, I sought God, with my hands opposite him in the night, and I was not deceived. My soul refused to be consoled.
4. I was mindful of God, and I was delighted, and I was distressed, and my spirit fell away.
5. My eyes anticipated the vigils. I was disturbed, and I did not speak.
6. I considered the days of antiquity, and I held the years of eternity in my mind.
7. And I meditated in the night with my heart, and I was distressed, and I examined my spirit.
8. So then, will God reject for eternity? Will he not continue to allow himself to show favor?
