Psalms 77
Psalm 77
Confidence in a Time of Crisis
For the choir director: according to Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A psalm.
1I cry aloud to God, aloud to God, and he will hear me.23I sought the Lord in my day of trouble. My hands were continually lifted up all night long; I refused to be comforted.4
5I think of God; I groan; I meditate; my spirit becomes weak.Selah6
7You have kept me from closing my eyes; I am troubled and cannot speak.8
9I consider days of old, years long past.10
11At night I remember my music; I meditate in my heart, and my spirit ponders.12
13“Will the Lord reject forever and never again show favor?14
15Has his faithful love ceased forever? Is his promise at an end for all generations?16
17Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he in anger withheld his compassion?” Selah18
19So I say, “I am grieved that the right hand of the Most High has changed.”20
21I will remember the Lord’s works; yes, I will remember your ancient wonders.22
23I will reflect on all you have done and meditate on your actions.24
25God, your way is holy. What god is great like God?26
27You are the God who works wonders; you revealed your strength among the peoples.28
29With power you redeemed your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.Selah30
31The water saw you, God. The water saw you; it trembled. Even the depths shook.32
33The clouds poured down water. The storm clouds thundered; your arrows flashed back and forth.34
35The sound of your thunder was in the whirlwind; lightning lit up the world. The earth shook and quaked.36
37Your way went through the sea and your path through the vast water, but your footprints were unseen.38
39You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.40
