📖 Psalms 77
-
1
For the music director, Jeduthun; a psalm of Asaph. I will cry out to God and call for help! I will cry out to God and he will pay attention to me.
-
2
In my time of trouble I sought the Lord. I kept my hand raised in prayer throughout the night. I refused to be comforted.
-
3
I said,“I will remember God while I groan; I will think about him while my strength leaves me.”(Selah)
-
4
You held my eyelids open; I was troubled and could not speak.
-
5
I thought about the days of old, about ancient times.
-
6
I said,“During the night I will remember the song I once sang; I will think very carefully.” I tried to make sense of what was happening.
-
7
I asked,“Will the Lord reject me forever? Will he never again show me his favor?
-
8
Has his loyal love disappeared forever? Has his promise failed forever?
-
9
Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has his anger stifled his compassion?”(Selah)
-
10
Then I said,“I am sickened by the thought that the Most High might become inactive.
-
11
I will remember the works of the LORD. Yes, I will remember the amazing things you did long ago!
-
12
I will think about all you have done; I will reflect upon your deeds!”
-
13
O God, your deeds are extraordinary! What god can compare to our great God?
-
14
You are the God who does amazing things; you have revealed your strength among the nations.
-
15
You delivered your people by your strength– the children of Jacob and Joseph.(Selah)
-
16
The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you and trembled. Yes, the depths of the sea shook with fear.
-
17
The clouds poured down rain; the skies thundered. Yes, your arrows flashed about.
-
18
Your thunderous voice was heard in the wind; the lightning bolts lit up the world; the earth trembled and shook.
-
19
You walked through the sea; you passed through the surging waters, but left no footprints.
-
20
You led your people like a flock of sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
