Natural Speech Rhythm

1 I will cry unto | God • with my | voice ||

even unto God will I cry with my | voice, and | he shall | hearken • unto me. ||

2 In the time of my trouble I | sought the | Lord ||

my sore ran and ceased not in the night season; my | soul re- | fused | comfort. ||

3 When I am in heaviness, I will | 3 think upon | God ||

when my heart is | vexed, I | will com- | plain. ||

4 Thou holdest mine | eyes | waking ||

I am so | feeble, • that I | cannot | speak. ||

5 I have considered the days of old, and the | years • that are | past. ||

6 I call to remembrance my song; * and in the night I commune with mine own | heart, and | 3 search out my | spirits. ||

7 Will the Lord ab- | sent him•self for | ever? ||

and | will he • be no | more in- | treated? ||

8 Is his mercy clean | gone for | ever? ||

and is his promise come utterly to an | end for | ever- | more? ||

9 Hath God for- | gotten • to be | gracious? ||

and will he shut up his loving- | kindness | in dis- | pleasure? ||

10 And I said, It is mine | own in- | firmi•ty ||

but I will remember the years of the | right hand | of the • most | Highest. ||

11 I will remember the works of the Lord, * and call to mind thy | 3 wonders of | old time. ||

12 I will think also of all thy works, * and my | 3 talking shall | be of • thy | doings. ||

13 Thy way, O | God, is | holy ||

who is so | great a | God as | our God? ||

14 Thou art the | God that • doeth | wonders ||

and hast de- | clared thy | power a•mong the | people. ||

15 Thou hast mightily de- | 3 livered thy | people ||

even the | sons of | 3 Jacob and | Joseph. ||

16 The waters 3 saw | thee, O | God, ||

the waters saw thee, and were a- | fraid; the • depths | 3 also were | troubled. ||

17 The clouds poured out water, the | air | thundered ||

and thine | arrows | went a- | broad. ||

18 The voice of thy thunder was | heard • round a- | bout ||

the lightnings shone upon the ground; * the | earth was | moved, and | shook with•al. ||

19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in the | great | waters ||

and thy | footsteps | are not | known. ||

20 Thou leddest thy | people • like | sheep ||

by the | hand of | Moses • and | Aaron. ||

Glory | be • to the | Father, ||

and to the Son, | and • to the | Holy | Ghost; ||

As it | was in • the be- | ginning, ||

is now, and ever shall be, * | world with•out | end. A- | men. ||
