The Psalms

Psalm 77

For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthan. A Psalm of Asaph.

 77:1I will cry unto God with my voice,

 Even unto God with my voice; and he will give ear unto me.

 77:2In 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.

 77:3I remember God, and am disquieted:

 I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed.

Selah

  77:4Thou holdest mine eyes watching:

 I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

 77:5I have considered the days of old,

 The years of ancient times.

 77:6I call to remembrance my song in the night:

 I commune with mine own heart;

 And my spirit maketh diligent search.

 77:7Will the Lord cast off for ever?

 And will he be favorable no more?

 77:8Is his lovingkindness clean gone for ever?

 Doth his promise fail for evermore?

 77:9Hath God forgotten to be gracious?

 Hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies?

Selah

 77:10And I said, This is my infirmity;

 But I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.

 77:11I will make mention of the deeds of Jehovah;

 For I will remember thy wonders of old.

 77:12I will meditate also upon all thy work,

 And muse on thy doings.

 77:13Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary:

 Who is a great god like unto God?

 77:14Thou art the God that doest wonders:

 Thou hast made known thy strength among the peoples.

 77:15Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people,

 The sons of Jacob and Joseph.

Selah

 77:16The waters saw thee, O God;

 The waters saw thee, they were afraid:

 The depths also trembled.

 77:17The clouds poured out water;

 The skies sent out a sound:

 Thine arrows also went abroad.

 77:18The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind;

 The lightnings lightened the world:

 The earth trembled and shook.

 77:19Thy way was in the sea,

 And thy paths in the great waters,

 And thy footsteps were not known.

 77:20Thou leddest thy people like a flock,

 By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
