Psalm 77

₁I cry aloud to God,

aloud to God, and he will hear me.

₂In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord;

in the night my hand is stretched out without wearying;

my soul refuses to be comforted.

₃When I remember God, I moan;

when I meditate, my spirit faints. Selah

₄You hold my eyelids open;

I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

₅I consider the days of old,

the years long ago.

₆I said, “Let me remember my song in the night;

let me meditate in my heart.”

Then my spirit made a diligent search:

₇“Will the Lord spurn forever,

and never again be favorable?

₈Has his steadfast love forever ceased?

Are his promises at an end for all time?

₉Has God forgotten to be gracious?

Has he in anger shut up his compassion?” Selah

₁₀Then I said, “I will appeal to this,

to the years of the right hand of the Most High.”

₁₁I will remember the deeds of the Lord;

yes, I will remember your wonders of old.

₁₂I will ponder all your work,

and meditate on your mighty deeds.

₁₃Your way, O God, is holy.

What god is great like our God?

₁₄You are the God who works wonders;

you have made known your might among the peoples.

₁₅You with your arm redeemed your people,

the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

₁₆When the waters saw you, O God,

when the waters saw you, they were afraid;

indeed, the deep trembled.

₁₇The clouds poured out water;

the skies gave forth thunder;

your arrows flashed on every side.

₁₈The crash of your thunder was in the whirlwind;

your lightnings lighted up the world;

the earth trembled and shook.

₁₉Your way was through the sea,

your path through the great waters;

yet your footprints were unseen.

₂₀You led your people like a flock

by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
