Psalm 77:7

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

For ever will the Lord cast off, and gracious be no more?

See the chapter Copy

O Lord, thou hast been favourable to thy beloved land: Jacob's captivity thou hast recall'd with mighty hand.

How long, Lord, wilt thou hide thyself? for ever, in thine ire? And shall thine indignation burn like unto a fire?

Shall thy displeasure thus endure against us without end? Wilt thou to generations all thine anger forth extend?

But thou, displeased, hast cast off, thou didst abhor and loathe; With him that thine anointed is thou hast been very wroth.

Although he fall, yet shall he not be cast down utterly; Because the Lord with his own hand upholds him mightily.

How long, Lord, shall thine anger last? wilt thou still keep the same? And shall thy fervent jealousy burn like unto a flame?

O God, why hast thou cast us off? is it for evermore? Against thy pasture-sheep why doth thine anger smoke so sore?

But now we are cast off by thee, and us thou putt'st to shame; And when our armies do go forth, thou go'st not with the same.

Off 'rings present of righteousness, and in the Lord trust ye.
