Psalms 77

1 For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. I cried out to God; I cried aloud to God to hear me.

2 In the day of trouble I sought the Lord; through the night my outstretched hands did not grow weary; my soul refused to be comforted.

3 I remembered You, O God, and I groaned; I mused and my spirit grew faint. Selah

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

5 I considered the days of old, the years long in the past.

6 At night I remembered my song; in my heart I mused, and my spirit pondered:

7 “Will the Lord spurn us forever and never show His favor again?

8 Is His loving devotion gone forever? Has His promise failed for all time?

9 Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has His anger shut off His compassion?” Selah

10 So I said, “I am grieved that the right hand of the Most High has changed.”

11 I will remember the works of the LORD; yes, I will remember Your wonders of old.

12 I will reflect on all You have done and ponder Your mighty deeds.

13 Your way, O God, is holy. What god is so great as our God?

14 You are the God who works wonders; You display Your strength among the peoples.

15 With power You redeemed Your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

16 The waters saw You, O God; the waters saw You and swirled; even the depths were shaken.

17 The clouds poured down water; the skies resounded with thunder; Your arrows flashed back and forth.

18 Your thunder resounded in the whirlwind; the lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked.

19 Your path led through the sea, Your way through the mighty waters, but Your footprints were not to be found.

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

1 ¶ To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph. I cried unto God with my voice, [even] unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.

2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.

3 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.

4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: 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 remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.

12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.

13 Thy way, O God, [is] in the sanctuary: who [is so] great a God as [our] God?

14 Thou [art] the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.

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 were troubled.

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 heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.

19 Thy way [is] in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.

20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

1 a psalm of Assaph for Jeduthun, to be sung.

2 I cry with my voice unto GOD; unto GOD I cry, and he heareth me.

3 In the time of my trouble I seek the LORD: my hand is stretched out by night, and will not depart: for my soul will not be comforted.

4 When I am afflicted, I remember God; when my heart is in anguish, I speak. Sela.

5 Thou keepest mine eyes to watch: I am so faint that I cannot speak.

6 I think of the old time, of the former years.

7 I think on my strings at night, and speak with my heart; my mind must search.

8 Will the LORD then cast out for ever, and show no more mercy?

9 Is then his goodness utterly ended? and is there an end of the promise?

10 Hath God then forgotten to be gracious, and shut up his mercy from wrath? Sela.

11 But yet I said, I must suffer this: the right hand of the Most High is able to change all things.

12 Therefore I remember the deeds of the LORD: yea, I remember thy former wonders.

13 And speak of all thy works, and say of thy doings.

14 God, your way is holy. Where is such a mighty God as you, God, are?

15 Thou art the God that doeth wonders: thou hast shewed thy power among the nations.

16 Thou hast redeemed thy people mightily, the children of Jacob and Joseph. Sela.

17 The waters saw thee, O God; the waters saw thee, and were afraid, and the deeps raged.

18 The thick clouds poured water; the clouds thundered, and the beams lead therefore.

19 There was thunder in heaven; thy lightnings shone upon the face of the earth; the earth stirred and trembled.

20 Thy way was in the sea, and thy path in great waters; yet thy foot was not felt.

21 Thou leadest thy people as a flock of sheep by Moses and Aaron.
