PSALM 77
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun,
A Psalm of Asaph.
1Unto the Lord I with my voice,
I unto God did cry;
Ev'n with my voice,
and unto me his ear he did apply.
2I in my trouble sought the Lord,
my sore by night did run,
And ceased not; my grieved soul
did consolation shun.
3I to remembrance God did call,
yet trouble did remain;
And overwhelm'd my spirit was,
whilst I did sore complain.
4Mine eyes, debarr'd from rest and sleep,
thou makest still to wake;
My trouble is so great that I
unable am to speak.
5The days of old to mind I call'd,
and oft did think upon
The times and ages that are past
full many years agone.
6By night my song I call to mind,
and commune with my heart;
My sp'rit did carefully enquire
how I might ease my smart.
7For ever will the Lord cast off,
and gracious be no more?
8For ever is his mercy gone?
fails his word evermore?
9Is't true that to be gracious
the Lord forgotten hath?
And that his tender mercies he
hath shut up in his wrath?
10Then did I say, That surely this
is mine infirmity:
I'll mind the years of the right hand
of him that is most High.
11Yea, I remember will the works
performed by the Lord:
The wonders done of old by thee
I surely will record.
12I also will of all thy works
my meditation make;
And of thy doings to discourse
great pleasure I will take.
13O God, thy way most holy is
within thy sanctuary;
And what god is so great in pow'r
as is our God most high?
14Thou art the God that wonders do'st
by thy right hand most strong:
Thy mighty pow'r thou hast declar'd
the nations among.
15To thine own people with thine arm
thou didst redemption bring;
To Jacob's sons,
and to the tribes of Joseph that do spring.
16The waters, Lord, perceived thee,
the waters saw thee well;
And they for fear aside did flee;
the depths on trembling fell.
17The clouds in water forth were pour'd,
sound loudly did the sky;
And swiftly through the world abroad
thine arrows fierce did fly.
18Thy thunder's voice alongst the heav'n
a mighty noise did make;
By lightnings lighten'd was the world,
th' earth tremble did and shake.
19Thy way is in the sea, and in
the waters great thy path;
Yet are thy footsteps hid, O Lord;
none knowledge thereof hath.
20Thy people thou didst safely lead,
like to a flock of sheep;
By Moses' hand and Aaron's thou
didst them conduct and keep.

Psalms 77
77
1For the excellent musician Ieduthun. A Psalme committed to Asaph. My voyce came to God, when I cryed: my voyce came to God, and he heard me. 2In the day of my trouble I sought ye Lord: my sore ranne and ceased not in the night: my soule refused comfort. 3I did thinke vpon God, and was troubled: I praied, and my spirit was full of anguish. Selah. 4Thou keepest mine eyes waking: I was astonied and could not speake. 5Then I considered the daies of olde, and the yeeres of ancient time. 6I called to remembrance my song in the night: I communed with mine owne heart, and my spirit searched diligently. 7Will the Lord absent him selfe for euer? and will he shewe no more fauour? 8Is his mercie cleane gone for euer? doeth his promise faile for euermore? 9Hath God forgotten to be mercifull? hath he shut vp his teder mercies in displeasure? Selah. 10And I sayde, This is my death: yet I remembred the yeeres of the right hand of the most High. 11I remembred the workes of the Lord: certainely I remembred thy wonders of olde. 12I did also meditate all thy woorkes, and did deuise of thine actes, saying, 13Thy way, O God, is in the Sanctuarie: who is so great a God as our God! 14Thou art ye God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy power among the people. 15Thou hast redeemed thy people with thine arme, euen the sonnes of Iaakob and Ioseph. Selah. 16The waters sawe thee, O God: the waters sawe thee, and were afraide: yea, the depths trembled. 17The cloudes powred out water: the heauens gaue a sounde: yea, thine arrowes went abroade. 18The voyce of thy thunder was rounde about: the lightnings lightened the worlde: the earth trembled and shooke. 19Thy way is in the Sea, and thy paths in the great waters, and thy footesteps are not knowen. 20Thou diddest leade thy people like sheepe by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
