1 Elevo a Deus a minha voz e clamo,

elevo a Deus a minha voz, para que me atenda.

2 No dia da minha angústia, procuro o Senhor;

erguem-se as minhas mãos durante a noite e não se cansam;

a minha alma recusa consolar-se.

3 Lembro-me de Deus e passo a gemer;

medito, e me desfalece o espírito.

4 Não me deixas pregar os olhos;

tão perturbado estou, que nem posso falar.

5 Penso nos dias de outrora,

trago à lembrança os anos de passados tempos.

6 De noite indago o meu íntimo,

e o meu espírito perscruta.

7 Rejeita o Senhor para sempre?

Acaso, não torna a ser propício?

8 Cessou perpetuamente a sua graça?

Caducou a sua promessa para todas as gerações?

9 Esqueceu-se Deus de ser benigno?

Ou, na sua ira, terá ele reprimido as suas misericórdias?

10 Então, disse eu: isto é a minha aflição;

mudou-se a destra do Altíssimo.

11 Recordo os feitos do Senhor,

pois me lembro das tuas maravilhas da antiguidade.

12 Considero também nas tuas obras todas

e cogito dos teus prodígios.

13 O teu caminho, ó Deus, é de santidade.

Que deus é tão grande como o nosso Deus?

14 Tu és o Deus que operas maravilhas

e, entre os povos, tens feito notório o teu poder.

15 Com o teu braço remiste o teu povo,

os filhos de Jacó e de José.

16 Viram-te as águas, ó Deus;

as águas te viram e temeram,

até os abismos se abalaram.

17 Grossas nuvens se desfizeram em água;

houve trovões nos espaços;

também as suas setas cruzaram de uma parte para outra.

18 O ribombar do teu trovão ecoou na redondeza;

os relâmpagos alumiaram o mundo;

a terra se abalou e tremeu.

19 Pelo mar foi o teu caminho;

as tuas veredas, pelas grandes águas;

e não se descobrem os teus vestígios.

20 O teu povo, tu o conduziste, como rebanho,

pelas mãos de Moisés e de Arão.

1 I will cry unto God with my voice,

Even unto God with my voice; and he will give ear unto me.

2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord:

My hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not;

My soul refused to be comforted.

3 I remember God, and am disquieted:

I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. [Selah

4 Thou holdest mine eyes watching:

I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

5 I have considered the days of old,

The years of ancient times.

6 I call to remembrance my song in the night:

I commune with mine own heart;

And my spirit maketh diligent search.

7 Will the Lord cast off for ever?

And will he be favorable no more?

8 Is his lovingkindness clean gone for ever?

Doth his promise fail for evermore?

9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious?

Hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? [Selah

10 And I said, This is my infirmity;

But I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.

11 I will make mention of the deeds of Jehovah;

For I will remember thy wonders of old.

12 I will meditate also upon all thy work,

And muse on thy doings.

13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary:

Who is a great god like unto God?

14 Thou art the God that doest wonders:

Thou hast made known thy strength among the peoples.

15 Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people,

The sons of Jacob and Joseph. [Selah

16 The waters saw thee, O God;

The waters saw thee, they were afraid:

The depths also trembled.

17 The clouds poured out water;

The skies sent out a sound:

Thine arrows also went abroad.

18 The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind;

The lightnings lightened the world:

The earth trembled and shook.

19 Thy way was in the sea,

And thy paths in the great waters,

And thy footsteps were not known.

20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock,

By the hand of Moses and Aaron.

1 I cried out to God for help; I cried out to God to hear me.

2 When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; at night I stretched out untiring hands, and I would not be comforted.

3 I remembered you, God, and I groaned; I meditated, and my spirit grew faint. [^1]

4 You kept my eyes from closing; I was too troubled to speak.

5 I thought about the former days, the years of long ago;

6 I remembered my songs in the night. My heart meditated and my spirit asked:

7 "Will the Lord reject forever? Will he never show his favor again?

8 Has his unfailing love vanished forever? Has his promise failed for all time?

9 Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has he in anger withheld his compassion?"

10 Then I thought, "To this I will appeal: the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand.

11 I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.

12 I will consider all your works and meditate on all your mighty deeds."

13 Your ways, God, are holy. What god is as great as our God?

14 You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples.

15 With your mighty arm you redeemed your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.

16 The waters saw you, God, the waters saw you and writhed; the very depths were convulsed.

17 The clouds poured down water, the heavens resounded with thunder; your arrows flashed back and forth.

18 Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind, your lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked.

19 Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen.

20 You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
