Psalm 77

77
Psalm 77
For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of Asaph.
1I cried out to God for help.
I cried out to God to hear me.
2When I was in trouble, I looked to the Lord for help.
During the night I lifted up my hands in prayer.
But I refused to be comforted.
3God, I remembered you, and I groaned.
I thought about you, and I became weak.
4You kept me from going to sleep.
I was so troubled I couldn’t speak.
5I thought about days gone by.
I thought about the years of long ago.
6I remembered how I used to sing praise to you in the night.
I thought about it, and here is what I asked myself.
7“Will the Lord turn away from us forever?
Won’t he ever show us his kindness again?
8Has his faithful love disappeared forever?
Has his promise failed for all time?
9Has God forgotten to help us?
Has he held back his tender love because he was angry?”
10Then I thought, “Here is what gives me hope.
For many years the Most High God showed how powerful he is.
11 Lord, I will remember what you did.
Yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.
12I will spend time thinking about everything you have done.
I will consider all your mighty acts.”
13God, everything you do is holy.
What god is as great as our God?
14You are the God who does miracles.
You show your power among the nations.
15With your mighty arm you set your people free.
You set the children of Jacob and Joseph free.
16God, the water of the Red Sea saw you.
It saw you and boiled up.
The deepest waters were stirred up.
17The clouds poured down rain.
The skies rumbled with thunder.
Lightning flashed back and forth like arrows.
18Your thunder was heard in the windstorm.
Your lightning lit up the world.
The earth trembled and shook.
19Your path led through the Red Sea.
You walked through the mighty waters.
But your footprints were not seen.
20You led your people like a flock.
You led them by the hands of Moses and Aaron.
