Psalms 77

   |   

In the Day of Trouble I Seek the Lord

To the choirmaster: according to (a)Jeduthun. A Psalm of (b)Asaph.

1 I (c)cry aloud to God,
    aloud to God, and he will hear me.
2 (d)In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord;
    in (e)the night my (f)hand is stretched out without wearying;
    my soul (g)refuses to be comforted.
3 When I remember God, I (h)moan;
    when I meditate, my spirit faints. Selah

4 You hold my eyelids open;
    I am so (i)troubled that I cannot speak.
5 I consider (j)the days of old,
    the years long ago.
6 I said,[a] "Let me remember my (k)song in the night;
    let me (l)meditate in my heart."
    Then my spirit made a diligent search:
7 "Will the Lord (m)spurn forever,
    and never again (n)be favorable?
8 Has his steadfast love forever ceased?
    Are his (o)promises at an end for all time?
9 (p)Has God forgotten to be gracious?
    (q)Has he in anger shut up his compassion?" Selah

10 Then I said, "I will appeal to this,
    to the years of the (r)right hand of the Most High."[b]

11 I will remember the deeds of the Lord;
    yes, I will (s)remember your wonders of old.
12 I will ponder all your (t)work,
    and meditate on your (u)mighty deeds.
13 Your way, O God, is (v)holy.
    (w)What god is great like our God?
14 You are the God who (x)works wonders;
    you have (y)made known your might among the peoples.
15 You (z)with your arm redeemed your people,
    the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

16 When (aa)the waters saw you, O God,
    when the waters saw you, they were afraid;
    indeed, the deep trembled.
17 The clouds poured out water;
    the skies (ab)gave forth thunder;
    your (ac)arrows flashed on every side.
18 (ad)The crash of your thunder was in the whirlwind;
    (ae)your lightnings lighted up the world;
    the earth (af)trembled and shook.
19 Your (ag)way was through the sea,
    your path through the great waters;
    yet your footprints (ah)were unseen.[c]
20 You (ai)led your people like a flock
    by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
