1. Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of Asaph.
2. I cried to the Lord with my voice; to God with my voice, and he gave ear to me.
3. In the day of my trouble I sought God, with my hands lifted up to him in the night, and I was not deceived. My soul refused to be comforted:
4. I remembered God, and was delighted, and was exercised, and my spirit swooned away.
5. My eyes prevented the watches: I was troubled, and I spoke not.
6. I thought upon the days of old: and I had in my mind the eternal years.
7. And I meditated in the night with my own heart: and I was exercised and I swept my spirit.
8. Will God then cast off for ever? or will he never be more favourable again?
