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.

Remember the Wonders
1For the music director, on Jeduthun: a psalm of Asaph.
2My voice to God—and I cried out, my voice to God—and He heard me!
3In the day of my trouble I seek my Lord. At night my hand stretches out untiringly. My soul refuses to be comforted.
4I remember God and I moan. I muse, and my spirit grows faint. Selah
5You hold my eyelids open— I am so troubled—I cannot speak.
6I ponder the days of old, the years long ago.
7In the night I remember my song. I meditate with my heart and my spirit is searching.
8“Will the Lord reject forever and never again show favor?
9Has His mercy vanished forever? Has His promise come to an end forever?
10Has God forgotten to be gracious? Or has He in anger withdrawn his mercies?” Selah
11Then I said: “It wounds me— that the right hand of Elyon has changed.”
12I will remember the deeds of Adonai. Yes, I will muse about Your wonders of old.
13I will meditate also on all Your work and consider Your deeds.”
14O God, Your way is holy. What god is great like God?
15You are the God who works wonders. You have made Your power known among the peoples.
16With your arm You redeemed Your people, the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
17The waters saw You, O God, the waters saw You and writhed, even the depths shook.
18The clouds poured out water, the skies resounded, Your arrows flashed back and forth.
19The sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind. Lightning lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook.
20Your way was in the sea, and Your path in the mighty waters, but Your footprints were not seen.
21You led Your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
