I cried to the Lord with my voice, yea, my voice was addressed to God; and he gave heed to me.

In the day of mine affliction I earnestly sought the Lord; even with my hands by night before him, and I was not deceived; my soul refused to be comforted.

I remembered God, and rejoiced; I poured out my complaint, and my soul fainted. Pause.

All mine enemies set a watch against me: I was troubled, and spoke not.

I considered the days of old, and remembered ancient years.

And I meditated; I communed with my heart by night, and diligently searched my spirit, saying,

8 ⲁⲓⲉⲣⲫⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⲛⲛⲓϩⲃⲏⲟⲩⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲡϭⲟⲓⲥ ϫⲉϯⲛⲁⲉⲣⲫⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ⲧⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲉⲕϣⲫⲏⲣⲓ

Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be well pleased no more?

9 ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯⲛⲁⲉⲣⲙⲉⲗⲉⲧⲁⲛ ϧⲉⲛⲛⲉⲕϩⲃⲏⲟⲩⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲓⲉϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲛ ϧⲉⲛⲛⲉⲕϩⲃⲏⲟⲩⲓ

Will he cut off his mercy for ever, even for ever and ever?

Will God forget to pity? or will he shut up his compassions in his wrath? Pause.

11 ⲫⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⲛϫⲉϩⲁⲛⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⲛϫⲉϩⲁⲛⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲉⲣϩⲟϯ ⲁⲩϣⲑⲟⲣⲧⲉⲣ ⲛϫⲉⲛⲓⲛⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲡⲁϣⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲥⲙⲏ ⲛⲧⲉϩⲁⲛⲙⲱⲟⲩ

And I said, Now I have begun; this is the change of the right hand of the Most High.

12 ⲛⲓϭⲏⲡⲓ ⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲧⲟⲩⲥⲙⲏ ⲕⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲉⲕⲥⲟⲑⲛⲉϥ ⲥⲉⲙⲟϣⲓ ⲧⲥⲙⲏ ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲉⲕϧⲁⲣⲁⲃⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛⲡⲓⲧⲣⲟⲭⲟⲥ

I remembered the works of the Lord; for I will remember thy wonders from the beginning.

And I will meditate on all thy works, and will consider thy doings.

O God, thy way is in the sanctuary; who is a great God as our God?

15 ⲁⲕϭⲓⲙⲱⲓⲧ ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲙⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲛϩⲁⲛⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛⲧϫⲓϫ ⲙⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲛⲉⲙⲁⲁⲣⲱⲛ

Thou art the God that doest wonders; thou hast made known thy power among the nations.
