Psalm 77

God’s Mighty Deeds Recalled

To the leader: according to Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A Psalm.

1 I cry aloud to God,

    aloud to God, that he may hear me.

2 In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord;

    in the night my hand is stretched out without wearying;
    my soul refuses to be comforted.

3 I think of God, and I moan;

    I meditate, and my spirit faints. Selah

4 You keep my eyelids from closing;

    I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

5 I consider the days of old

    and remember the years of long ago.

6 I commune[a] with my heart in the night;

    I meditate and search my spirit:[b]

7 “Will the Lord spurn forever

    and never again be favorable?

8 Has his steadfast love ceased forever?

    Are his promises at an end for all time?

9 Has God forgotten to be gracious?

    Has he in anger shut up his compassion?” Selah

10 And I say, “It is my grief

    that the right hand of the Most High has changed.”

11 I will call to mind the deeds of the Lord;

    I will remember your wonders of old.

12 I will meditate on all your work

    and muse on your mighty deeds.

13 Your way, O God, is holy.

    What god is so great as our God?

14 You are the God who works wonders;

    you have displayed your might among the peoples.

15 With your strong arm you redeemed your people,

    the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

16 When the waters saw you, O God,

    when the waters saw you, they were afraid;
    the very deep trembled.

17 The clouds poured out water;

    the skies thundered;
    your arrows flashed on every side.

18 The crash of your thunder was in the whirlwind;

    your lightnings lit up the world;
    the earth trembled and shook.

19 Your way was through the sea,

    your path through the mighty waters,
    yet your footprints were unseen.

20 You led your people like a flock

    by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
