Psalm 77

¹I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.
²In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.
³I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
⁴Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
⁵I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
⁶I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
⁷Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?
⁸Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?
⁹Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
¹⁰And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.
¹¹I will remember the works of the Lord: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.
¹²I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.
¹³Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
¹⁴Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.
¹⁵Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
¹⁶The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.
¹⁷The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.
¹⁸The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
¹⁹Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.
²⁰Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

¹⁴When thou art come unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me;
¹⁵Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the Lord thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother.
¹⁶But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the Lord hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.
¹⁷Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
¹⁸And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites:
¹⁹And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them:
²⁰That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.

⁵⁷When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple:
⁵⁸He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.
⁵⁹And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
⁶⁰And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.
⁶¹And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.
⁶²Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
⁶³Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
⁶⁴Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.
⁶⁵Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.
⁶⁶So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
