Psalm 77

¹ For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. I will cry unto God with my voice; even unto God with my voice, and he wilt 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 made diligent search.

⁷ Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?

⁸ Is his mercy 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 the LORD; 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.
