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.

Comfort from Recalling God's Mighty Deeds
To the chief Musician, to Jedu´thun, A Psalm of Asaph.
1I cried unto God with my voice,
even unto God with my voice;
and he gave ear unto me.
2In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord:
my sore ran in the night, and ceased not:
my soul refused to be comforted.
3I remembered God, and was troubled:
I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
4Thou holdest mine eyes waking:
I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5I have considered the days of old,
the years of ancient times.
6I call to remembrance my song in the night:
I commune with mine own heart:
and my spirit made diligent search.
7Will the Lord cast off for ever?
And will he be favorable no more?
8Is his mercy clean gone for ever?
Doth his promise fail for evermore?
9Hath God forgotten to be gracious?
Hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
10And I said, This is my infirmity:
but I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.
11I will remember the works of the Lord:
surely I will remember thy wonders of old.
12I will meditate also of all thy work,
and talk of thy doings.
13Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary:
who is so great a God as our God?
14Thou art the God that doest wonders:
thou hast declared thy strength among the people.
15Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people,
the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
16The waters saw thee, O God,
the waters saw thee;
they were afraid:
the depths also were troubled.
17The clouds poured out water:
the skies sent out a sound:
thine arrows also went abroad.
18The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven:
the lightnings lightened the world:
the earth trembled and shook.
19Thy way is in the sea,
and thy path in the great waters,
and thy footsteps are not known.
20Thou leddest thy people like a flock
by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
