| 77:1 |
I cried out to God for help; I cried out to God to hear me. |
| 77:2 |
When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; at night I stretched out untiring hands and my soul refused to be comforted. |
| 77:3 |
I remembered you, O God, and I groaned; I mused, and my spirit grew faint. Selah |
| 77:4 |
You kept my eyes from closing; I was too troubled to speak. |
| 77:5 |
I thought about the former days, the years of long ago; |
| 77:6 |
I remembered my songs in the night. My heart mused and my spirit inquired: |
| 77:7 |
"Will the Lord reject forever? Will he never show his favor again? |
| 77:8 |
Has his unfailing love vanished forever? Has his promise failed for all time? |
| 77:9 |
Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has he in anger withheld his compassion?" Selah |
| 77:10 |
Then I thought, "To this I will appeal: the years of the right hand of the Most High." |
| 77:11 |
I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. |
| 77:12 |
I will meditate on all your works and consider all your mighty deeds. |
| 77:13 |
Your ways, O God, are holy. What god is so great as our God? |
| 77:14 |
You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples. |
| 77:15 |
With your mighty arm you redeemed your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. Selah |
| 77:16 |
The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you and writhed; the very depths were convulsed. |
| 77:17 |
The clouds poured down water, the skies resounded with thunder; your arrows flashed back and forth. |
| 77:18 |
Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind, your lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked. |
| 77:19 |
Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen. |
| 77:20 |
You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. |
