Psalms 77:1-19 ▼

1 For the one directing. According to Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A Psalm. My voice is to God—indeed I cry out with my voice to God—and He has given ear to me.

2 In the day of my distress I sought the Lord; my hand in the night has been stretched out, and it does not slacken; my soul refuses to be comforted.

3 I remember God, and I groan; I meditate, and my spirit becomes faint. Selah

4 You hold the lids of my eyes; I am troubled, and I cannot speak.

5 I consider the days of old, the years of ages past.

6 I remember, my song in the night; with my heart I converse, and my spirit searches.

7 “Will the Lord forever reject us, and not anymore will He add to show favor?

8 Has His loving devotion ceased forever? Has His speech come to an end to generation and generation?

9 Or has God forgotten to show favor? Has He shut up in anger His compassion?” Selah

10 and I said, “I am grieved. Has it changed—the right hand of the Most High?”

11 I will remember the deeds of YAH; indeed, I will remember Your wonder of old.

12 And I have meditated on all Your work, and I put forth Your deeds.

13 O God, in holiness is Your way; what god is great like God?

14 You are the God doing wonders; You have made known among the peoples Your strength.

15 You have redeemed with Your arm a people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

16 the waters saw You, O God, the waters saw You and swirled; even the depths trembled.

17 The clouds poured forth waters, the skies gave forth a voice, and Your arrows flashed back and forth.

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

19 Your way was in the sea, and Your paths in the great waters, and Your footprints were not known.
