1I cry aloud to God,
aloud to God, and he will hear me.#Ps 3:4; 142:1
2I sought the Lord in my day of trouble.
My hands were continually lifted up
all night long;
I refused to be comforted.#Gn 37:35; Jb 11:13; Jr 31:15
3I think of God; I groan;
I meditate; my spirit becomes weak.#Ps 42:5,11; 43:5; 55:17; 143:4Selah
4You have kept me from closing my eyes;
I am troubled and cannot speak.#Ps 39:9
5I consider days of old,
years long past.#Dt 32:7; Ps 143:5
6At night I remember my music;
I meditate in my heart, and my spirit ponders.#Ps 4:4; 42:8
7“Will the Lord reject forever
and never again show favor?#Ps 44:9,23; 74:1; Lm 2:7; 3:31
8Has his faithful love ceased forever?
Is his promise at an end for all generations?#Ps 33:11; 85:5; 89:49
9Has God forgotten to be gracious?
Has he in anger withheld his compassion?” #Ps 25:6; 40:11; Is 49:15Selah
10So I say, “I am grieved
that the right hand of the Most High has changed.”#77:10 Hb obscure#Ps 31:22; 73:14
11I will remember the Lord’s works;
yes, I will remember your ancient wonders.#Ps 105:5; 143:5
12I will reflect on all you have done
and meditate on your actions.#Ps 9:11; 90:16; 145:5
13God, your way is holy.
What god is great like God?#Ex 15:11; Ps 71:19; 86:8
14You are the God who works wonders;
you revealed your strength among the peoples.#Ps 72:18; 106:8
15With power you redeemed your people,
the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.#Ex 6:6; Dt 9:29; Ps 74:2Selah
16The water saw you, God.
The water saw you; it trembled.
Even the depths shook.#Ps 114:3; Hab 3:8,10
17The clouds poured down water.
The storm clouds thundered;
your arrows flashed back and forth.#Ps 18:14; Hab 3:11; Zch 9:14
18The sound of your thunder was in the whirlwind;
lightning lit up the world.#Ps 29:3,9; 97:4
The earth shook and quaked.#2Sm 22:8; Ps 18:7; Is 13:13
19Your way went through the sea
and your path through the vast water,
but your footprints were unseen.#Is 43:16
20You led your people like a flock#Ps 78:52; 80:1
by the hand of Moses and Aaron.#Ps 105:26; Is 63:11–13

Psalm 77
For the choir director; according to Jeduthun; a psalm by Asaph.
1Loudly, I cried to God.
Loudly, I cried to God
so that he would open his ears to ⌞hear⌟ me.
2On the day I was in trouble, I went to the Lord for help.
At night I stretched out my hands in prayer without growing tired.
Yet, my soul refused to be comforted.
3I sigh as I remember God.
I begin to lose hope as I think about him. Selah
4(You keep my eyelids open.)
I am so upset that I cannot speak.
5I have considered the days of old,
the years long ago.
6I remember my song in the night
and reflect ⌞on it⌟.
My spirit searches ⌞for an answer⌟:
7Will the Lord reject ⌞me⌟ for all time?
Will he ever accept me?
8Has his mercy come to an end forever?
Has his promise been canceled throughout every generation?
9Has God forgotten to be merciful?
Has he locked up his compassion because of his anger? Selah
10Then I said, “It makes me feel sick
that the power of the Most High is no longer the same.”
11I will remember the deeds of the Lord.
I will remember your ancient miracles.
12I will reflect on all your actions
and think about what you have done.
13O God, your ways are holy!
What god is as great as our God?
14You are the God who performs miracles.
You have made your strength known among the nations.
15With your might you have defended your people,
the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
16The water saw you, O God.
The water saw you and shook.
Even the depths of the sea trembled.
17The clouds poured out water.
The sky thundered.
Even your arrows flashed in every direction.
18The sound of your thunder rumbled in the sky.
Streaks of lightning lit up the world.
The earth trembled and shook.
19Your road went through the sea.
Your path went through raging water,
but your footprints could not be seen.
20Like a shepherd, you led your people.
You had Moses and Aaron take them by the hand.
