Psalms 77

1For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. I will lift up my voice unto God, an cry; I will lift up my voice unto God, that He may give ear unto me.

2In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord; With my hand uplifted, [mine eye] streameth in the night without ceasing; My soul refuseth to be comforted.

3When I think thereon, O God, I must moan; When I muse thereon, my spirit fainteth. Selah

4Thou holdest fast the lids of mine eyes; I am troubled, and cannot speak.

5I have pondered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

6In the night I will call to remembrance my song; I will commune with mine own heart; And my spirit maketh diligent search

7‘Will the Lord cast off for ever? And will He be favourable no more?

8Is His mercy clean gone for ever? Is His promise come to an end for evermore?

9Hath God forgotten to be gracious? Hath He in anger shut up his compassions?’ Selah

10And I say ‘This is my weakness, That the right hand of the Most High could change.

11I will make mention of the deeds of Yah; Yea, I will remember Thy wonders of old.

12I will meditate also upon all Thy work, And muse on Thy doings.’

13O God, Thy way is in holiness; Who is a great god like unto God?

14Thou art the God that doest wonders; Thou hast made known Thy strength among the peoples.

15Thou hast with Thine arm redeemed Thy people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

16The waters saw Thee, O God; The waters saw Thee, they were in pain; The depths also trembled.

17The clouds flooded forth waters; The skies sent out a sound; Thine arrows also went abroad.

18The voice of Thy thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightnings lighted up the world; The earth trembled and shook.

19Thy way was in the sea, And Thy path in the great waters, And Thy footsteps were not known.

20Thou didst lead Thy people like a flock, By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
