Psalm 77
77
In the Day of Trouble I Seek the Lord
To the choirmaster: according to #Ps. 39, title Jeduthun. A Psalm of #Ps. 50, titleAsaph.
1I #See Ps. 3:4cry aloud to God,
aloud to God, and he will hear me.
2 #
Ps. 86:7; [Ps. 20:1; 50:15; Isa. 26:16] In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord;
in #Ps. 63:6; Isa. 26:9 the night my #[Ps. 143:6] hand is stretched out without wearying;
my soul #Gen. 37:35refuses to be comforted.
3When I remember God, I #Ps. 42:5, 11; 43:5moan;
when I meditate, my spirit faints. Selah
4You hold my eyelids open;
I am so #[Gen. 41:8]troubled that I cannot speak.
5I consider #ver. 10, 11; Ps. 44:1; 143:5; Deut. 32:7; Isa. 51:9the days of old,
the years long ago.
6I said,#77:6 Hebrew lacks I said “Let me remember my #See Ps. 42:8 song in the night;
let me #Ps. 4:4meditate in my heart.”
Then my spirit made a diligent search:
7“Will the Lord #See Ps. 44:9 spurn forever,
and never again #Ps. 85:1be favorable?
8Has his steadfast love forever ceased?
Are his #[Rom. 9:6]promises at an end for all time?
9 # [Isa. 49:15] Has God forgotten to be gracious?
# [Hab. 3:2] Has he in anger shut up his compassion?” Selah
10Then I said, “I will appeal to this,
to the years of the #[Ps. 118:15]right hand of the Most High.”#77:10 Or This is my grief: that the right hand of the Most High has changed
11I will remember the deeds of the Lord;
yes, I will #ver. 5; Ps. 105:5remember your wonders of old.
12I will ponder all your #Ps. 90:16 work,
and meditate on your #Ps. 9:11mighty deeds.
13Your way, O God, is #Ps. 73:17 holy.
# See Ps. 35:10 What god is great like our God?
14You are the God who #See Ps. 72:18 works wonders;
you have #Ps. 106:8made known your might among the peoples.
15You #[Ps. 74:2; Ex. 6:6; Deut. 9:29]with your arm redeemed your people,
the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
16When #Ps. 114:3; Ex. 14:21; Josh. 3:15, 16; Hab. 3:10the waters saw you, O God,
when the waters saw you, they were afraid;
indeed, the deep trembled.
17The clouds poured out water;
the skies #[Ps. 68:33] gave forth thunder;
your #See Ps. 18:14arrows flashed on every side.
18 #
Ps. 104:7 The crash of your thunder was in the whirlwind;
#
Ps. 97:4 your lightnings lighted up the world;
the earth #See Ps. 18:7trembled and shook.
19Your #Hab. 3:15 way was through the sea,
your path through the great waters;
yet your footprints #See Ps. 36:6were unseen.#77:19 Hebrew unknown
20You #Ps. 78:52, 53; 80:1; Ex. 13:21; 14:19; Isa. 63:11, 12led your people like a flock
by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Remember the Wonders
1For the music director, on Jeduthun: a psalm of Asaph.
2My voice to God—and I cried out, my voice to God—and He heard me!
3In the day of my trouble I seek my Lord. At night my hand stretches out untiringly. My soul refuses to be comforted.
4I remember God and I moan. I muse, and my spirit grows faint. Selah
5You hold my eyelids open— I am so troubled—I cannot speak.
6I ponder the days of old, the years long ago.
7In the night I remember my song. I meditate with my heart and my spirit is searching.
8“Will the Lord reject forever and never again show favor?
9Has His mercy vanished forever? Has His promise come to an end forever?
10Has God forgotten to be gracious? Or has He in anger withdrawn his mercies?” Selah
11Then I said: “It wounds me— that the right hand of Elyon has changed.”
12I will remember the deeds of Adonai. Yes, I will muse about Your wonders of old.
13I will meditate also on all Your work and consider Your deeds.”
14O God, Your way is holy. What god is great like God?
15You are the God who works wonders. You have made Your power known among the peoples.
16With your arm You redeemed Your people, the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
17The waters saw You, O God, the waters saw You and writhed, even the depths shook.
18The clouds poured out water, the skies resounded, Your arrows flashed back and forth.
19The sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind. Lightning lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook.
20Your way was in the sea, and Your path in the mighty waters, but Your footprints were not seen.
21You led Your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
