Psalm 77

God’s Mighty Deeds Recalled

To the leader: according to Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A Psalm.
¹I cry aloud to God,
   aloud to God, that he may 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.
³I think of God, and I moan;
   I meditate, and my spirit faints.
          Selah

⁴You keep my eyelids from closing;
   I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
⁵I consider the days of old,
   and remember the years of long ago.
⁶I commune^* with my heart in the night;
   I meditate and search my spirit:^*
7‘Will the Lord spurn for ever,
   and never again be favourable?
⁸Has his steadfast love ceased for ever?
   Are his promises at an end for all time?
⁹Has God forgotten to be gracious?
   Has he in anger shut up his compassion?’
          Selah
¹⁰And I say, ‘It is my grief
   that the right hand of the Most High has changed.’

¹¹I will call to mind the deeds of the Lord;
   I will remember your wonders of old.
¹²I will meditate on all your work,
   and muse on your mighty deeds.
¹³Your way, O God, is holy.
   What god is so great as our God?
¹⁴You are the God who works wonders;
   you have displayed your might among the peoples.
¹⁵With your strong arm you redeemed your people,
   the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.
          Selah

¹⁶When the waters saw you, O God,
   when the waters saw you, they were afraid;
   the very deep trembled.
¹⁷The clouds poured out water;
   the skies thundered;
   your arrows flashed on every side.
¹⁸The crash of your thunder was in the whirlwind;
   your lightnings lit up the world;
   the earth trembled and shook.
¹⁹Your way was through the sea,
   your path, through the mighty waters;
   yet your footprints were unseen.
²⁰You led your people like a flock
   by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
