Psalms 77
Comfort in Trouble from Recalling God’s Mighty Deeds.
For the choir director; ▼▼ 1 Chr 16:41according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.
1 My voice rises to God, and I will bcry aloud;My voice rises to God, and He will hear me.
2In the cday of my trouble I sought the Lord;
dIn the night my ehand was stretched out ▼
▼ Lit and did not grow numb
without weariness;My soul grefused to be comforted.
3 When I remember God, then I am hdisturbed;
When I isigh, then jmy spirit grows faint. ▼
▼ Selah may mean: Pause, Crescendo or Musical interlude
Selah.4You have held my eyelids open;
I am so troubled that I lcannot speak.
5I have considered the mdays of old,
The years of long ago.
6I will remember my nsong in the night;
I owill meditate with my heart,
And my spirit ▼
▼ Lit searched
ponders:7Will the Lord qreject forever?
And will He rnever be favorable again?
8Has His slovingkindness ceased forever?
Has His ▼
▼ Lit word
,
upromise come to an end ▼▼ Lit from generation to generation
forever?9Has God wforgotten to be gracious,
Or has He in anger ▼
▼ Lit shut up
withdrawn His ycompassion? Selah.10Then I said, z“It is my ▼
▼ Or infirmity, the years of the right hand of the Most High
grief,That the abright hand of the Most High has changed.”
11I shall remember the acdeeds of ▼
▼ Heb Yah
the Lord;Surely I will aeremember Your wonders of old.
12I will afmeditate on all Your work
And muse on Your deeds.
13Your way, O God, is agholy;
ahWhat god is great like our God?
14You are the aiGod who works wonders;
You have ajmade known Your strength among the peoples.
15You have by Your ▼
▼ Lit arm
power alredeemed Your people,The sons of Jacob and amJoseph. Selah.
16The anwaters saw You, O God;
The waters saw You, they were in anguish;
The deeps also trembled.
17The aoclouds poured out water;
The skies apgave forth a sound;
Your aqarrows ▼
▼ Lit went
flashed here and there.18The assound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind;
The atlightnings lit up the world;
The auearth trembled and shook.
19Your avway was in the sea
And Your paths in the mighty waters,
And Your footprints may not be known.
20You awled Your people like a flock
By the hand of axMoses and Aaron.
