‏ Psalms 77

1For the end, for Idithun, a Psalm of Asaph. I cried to the Lord with my voice, yes, my voicewas addressed to God; and he gave heed to me.
2In the day of mine affliction I earnestly sought the Lord;even with my hands by night before him, and I was not deceived; my soul refused to be comforted.
3I remembered God, and rejoiced; I poured out my complaint, and my soul fainted.Pause.
4All mine enemies set a watchagainst me: I was troubled, and spoke not.
5I considered the days of old, and remembered ancient years.
6And I meditated; I communed with my heart by night, and diligently searched myspirit,saying,
7Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be well pleased no more?
8Will he cut off his mercy for ever, even for ever and ever?
9Will God forget to pity? or will he shut up his compassions in his wrath? Pause.
10And I said, Now I have begun; this is the change of the right hand of the MostHigh.
11I remembered the works of the Lord; for I will remember your wonders from thebeginning.
12And I will meditate on all your works, and will consider your doings.
13O God, your way is in the sanctuary; who is a great God as our God?
14You are the God that do wonders; you have made known your power among the nations.
15You have with your arm redeemed your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Pause.
16The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you, and feared; and the depths weretroubled.
17There was an abundant sound of waters: the clouds uttered a voice; for your arrows went abroad.
18The voice of your thunder was abroad, and around your lightnings appeared to theworld; the earth trembled a quaked.
19Your way is in the sea, and your paths in many waters, and your footsteps can’tbe known.
20You did guide your people as sheep by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
