77:1 | I cried out to God for help; I cried out to God to hear me. |
77:2 | When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; at night I stretched out untiring hands and my soul refused to be comforted. |
77:3 | I remembered you, O God, and I groaned; I mused, and my spirit grew faint. Selah |
77:4 | You kept my eyes from closing; I was too troubled to speak. |
77:5 | I thought about the former days, the years of long ago; |
77:6 | I remembered my songs in the night. My heart mused and my spirit inquired: |
77:7 | "Will the Lord reject forever? Will he never show his favor again? |
77:8 | Has his unfailing love vanished forever? Has his promise failed for all time? |
77:9 | Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has he in anger withheld his compassion?" Selah |
77:10 | Then I thought, "To this I will appeal: the years of the right hand of the Most High." |
77:11 | I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. |
77:12 | I will meditate on all your works and consider all your mighty deeds. |
77:13 | Your ways, O God, are holy. What god is so great as our God? |
77:14 | You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples. |
77:15 | With your mighty arm you redeemed your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. Selah |
77:16 | The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you and writhed; the very depths were convulsed. |
77:17 | The clouds poured down water, the skies resounded with thunder; your arrows flashed back and forth. |
77:18 | Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind, your lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked. |
77:19 | Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen. |
77:20 | You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. |
