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.

Psalm 77
Comfort in Trouble from Recalling God’s Mighty Deeds.
For the music director; #77:0 1 Chr 16:41according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.
1My voice rises to God, and I will cry aloud;
My voice rises to God, and He will listen to me.
2In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord;
In the night my hand was stretched out and did not grow weary;
My soul refused to be comforted.
3 When I remember God, then I am restless;
When I sigh, then my spirit feels weak. Selah
4You have held my eyelids open;
I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5I have considered the days of old,
The years of long ago.
6I will remember my song in the night;
I will meditate with my heart,
And my spirit #77:6 Lit searchedponders:
7¶Will the Lord reject forever?
And will He never be favorable again?
8Has His favor ceased forever?
Has His #77:8 Lit wordpromise come to an end #77:8 Lit from generation to generationforever?
9Has God forgotten to be gracious,
Or has He in anger #77:9 Lit shut upwithdrawn His compassion? Selah
10Then I said, “It is my #77:10 Or infirmity, the years of the right hand of the Most Highgrief,
That the right hand of the Most High has changed.”
11¶I shall remember the deeds of #77:11 Heb Yahthe Lord;
I will certainly remember Your wonders of old.
12I will meditate on all Your work,
And on Your deeds with thanksgiving.
13Your way, God, is holy;
What god is great like our God?
14You are the God who works wonders;
You have made known Your strength among the peoples.
15By Your #77:15 Lit armpower You have redeemed Your people,
The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
16¶The waters saw You, God;
The waters saw You, they were in anguish;
The ocean depths also trembled.
17The clouds poured out water;
The skies #77:17 Lit gave a soundsounded out;
Your arrows #77:17 Lit wentflashed here and there.
18The sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind;
The lightning lit up the world;
The earth trembled and shook.
19Your way was in the sea
And Your paths in the mighty waters,
And Your footprints were not known.
20You led Your people like a flock
By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
