Psalm 77 God’s Mighty Deeds Recalled

To the leader: according to Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A Psalm.

¹ I cry aloud to God, aloud to God, that he may hear me.

² In 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.

³ I think of God, and I moan; I meditate, and my spirit faints. Selah

⁴ You keep my eyelids from closing; I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

⁵ I consider the days of old and remember the years of long ago.

⁶ I commune with my heart in the night; I meditate and search my spirit:

⁷ “Will the Lord spurn forever and never again be favorable?

⁸ Has his steadfast love ceased forever? Are his promises at an end for all time?

⁹ Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he in anger shut up his compassion?” Selah

¹⁰ And I say, “It is my grief that the right hand of the Most High has changed.”

¹¹ I will call to mind the deeds of the Lord; I will remember your wonders of old.

¹² I will meditate on all your work and muse on your mighty deeds.

¹³ Your way, O God, is holy. What god is so great as our God?

¹⁴ You are the God who works wonders; you have displayed your might among the peoples.

¹⁵ With your strong arm you redeemed your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

¹⁶ When the waters saw you, O God, when the waters saw you, they were afraid; the very deep trembled.

¹⁷ The clouds poured out water; the skies thundered; your arrows flashed on every side.

¹⁸ The crash of your thunder was in the whirlwind; your lightnings lit up the world; the earth trembled and shook.

¹⁹ Your way was through the sea, your path through the mighty waters, yet your footprints were unseen.

²⁰ You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
