¹ (76-1) <Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of Asaph.> (76-2) I cried to the Lord with my voice; to God with my voice, and he gave ear to me.² (76-3) In the days of my trouble I sought God, with my hands lifted up to him in the night, and I was not deceived. My soul refused to be comforted:³ (76-4) I remembered God, and was delighted, and was exercised, and my spirit swooned away.⁴ (76-5) My eyes prevented the watches: I was troubled, and I spoke not.⁵ (76-6) I thought upon the days of old: and I had in my mind the eternal years.⁶ (76-7) And I meditated in the night with my own heart: and I was exercised and I swept my spirit.⁷ (76-8) Will God then cast off for ever? or will he never be more favourable again?⁸ (76-9) Or will he cut off his mercy for ever, from generation to generation?⁹ (76-10) Or will God forget to shew mercy? or will he in his anger shut up his mercies?¹⁰ (76-11) And I said, Now have I begun: this is the change of the right hand of the most High.

¹¹ (76-12) I remembered the works of the Lord: for I will be mindful of thy wonders from the beginning.¹² (76-13) And I will meditate on all thy works: and will be employed in thy inventions.¹³ (76-14) Thy way, O God, is in the holy place: who is the great God like our God?¹⁴ (76-15) Thou art the God that dost wonders. Thou hast made thy power known among the nations:¹⁵ (76-16) With thy arm thou hast redeemed thy people the children of Jacob and of Joseph.¹⁶ (76-17) The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee: and they were afraid, and the depths were troubled.¹⁷ (76-18) Great was the noise of the waters: the clouds sent out a sound. For thy arrows pass:¹⁸ (76-19) The voice of thy thunder in a wheel. Thy lightnings enlightened the world: the earth shook and trembled.¹⁹ (76-20) Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters: and thy footsteps shall not be known.²⁰ (76-21) Thou hast conducted thy people like sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
