PSALM 77
The Consoling Memory of God's
Redemptive Works
1 I cried out to God with my
voice -
To God with my voice;
And he gave ear to me.
2 In the day of my trouble I
sought the Lord;
My hand was stretched out in
The night without ceasing;
My soul refused to be
Comforted.
3 I remembered God,and was
troubled;
I complained, and my spirit was
Overwhelmed.
Selah
4 You hold my eyelids open;
I am so troubled that I cannot
Speak.
5 I have considered the days of
old,
The years of ancient times.
6 I call to remembrance my song
in the night;
I meditate within my heart,
And my spirit makes diligent
Search.
7 Will the Lord cast off forever?
And will He be favorable no more?
8 Has His mercy ceased forever?
Has His promise failed
Forevermore?
9 Has God forgotten to be
gracious?
Has He in anger shut up His
Tender mercies?
Selah
10 And I said, "This is my
anguish;
But I will remember the years of
The right hand of the Most
High."
11 I will remember the works of the
LORD;
Surely I will remember You
Wonders of old.
12 I will also meditate on all Your
work,
And talk of Your deeds.
13 Your way, O God, is in
the sanctuary;
Who is so great a God as our
God?
14 You are the God who does
wonders;
You have declared Your
Strength among the peoples.
15 You have with Your arm
redeemed Your people,
The sons of Jacob and Joseph.
Selah
16 The waters saw You, O God;
The waters saw You, they were
Afraid;
The depths also trembled.
17 The clouds poured out water;
The skies sent out a sound;
Your arrows also flashed about.
18 The voice of Your thunder was
in the whirlwind;
The lightnings lit up the world;
The earth trembled and shook.
19 Your way was in the sea,
Your path in the great waters,
And Your footsteps were not
Known.
20 You led Your people like a flock
By the hand of Moses and
Aaron.
