PSALM 77
Comfort in Trouble from Recalling God’s Mighty Deeds.
For the music director; 1 Chr 16:41according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.
1My voice rises to God, and I will cry aloud;
My voice rises to God, and He will listen to me.
2In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord;
In the night my hand was stretched out and did not grow weary;
My soul refused to be comforted.
3
When I remember God, then I am restless;
When I sigh, then my spirit feels weak. Selah
4You have held my eyelids open;
I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5I have considered the days of old,
The years of long ago.
6I will remember my song in the night;
I will meditate with my heart,
And my spirit Lit searchedponders:
7Will the Lord reject forever?
And will He never be favorable again?
8Has His favor ceased forever?
Has His Lit wordpromise come to an end Lit from generation to generationforever?
9Has God forgotten to be gracious,
Or has He in anger Lit shut upwithdrawn His compassion? Selah
10Then I said, “It is my Or infirmity, the years of the right hand of the Most Highgrief,
That the right hand of the Most High has changed.”
I will certainly remember Your wonders of old.
12I will meditate on all Your work,
And on Your deeds with thanksgiving.
13Your way, God, is holy;
What god is great like our God?
14You are the God who works wonders;
You have made known Your strength among the peoples.
15By Your Lit armpower You have redeemed Your people,
The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
16The waters saw You, God;
The waters saw You, they were in anguish;
The ocean depths also trembled.
17The clouds poured out water;
The skies Lit gave a soundsounded out;
Your arrows Lit wentflashed here and there.
18The sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind;
The lightning lit up the world;
The earth trembled and shook.
19Your way was in the sea
And Your paths in the mighty waters,
And Your footprints were not known.
20You led Your people like a flock
By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
