Psalms 77

Brenton(i) 1 (76:1) For the end, for Idithun, a Psalm of Asaph. I cried to the Lord with my voice, yea, my voice was addressed to God; and he gave heed to me. 2 (76:2) In 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. 3 (76:3) I remembered God, and rejoiced; I poured out my complaint, and my soul fainted. Pause. 4 (76:4) All mine enemies set a watch against me: I was troubled, and spoke not. 5 (76:5) I considered the days of old, and remembered ancient years. 6 (76:6) And I meditated; I communed with my heart by night, and diligently searched my spirit, saying, 7 (76:7) Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be well pleased no more? 8 (76:8) Will he cut off his mercy for ever, even for ever and ever? 9 (76:9) Will God forget to pity? or will he shut up his compassions in his wrath? Pause. 10 (76:10) And I said, Now I have begun; this is the change of the right hand of the Most High. 11 (76:11) I remembered the works of the Lord; for I will remember thy wonders from the beginning. 12 (76:12) And I will meditate on all thy works, and will consider thy doings. 13 (76:13) O God, thy way is in the sanctuary; who is a great God as our God? 14 (76:14) Thou art the God that doest wonders; thou hast made known thy power among the nations. 15 (76:15) Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Pause. 16 (76:16) The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee, and feared; and the depths were troubled. 17 (76:17) There was an abundant sound of waters: the clouds uttered a voice; for thine arrows went abroad. 18 (76:18) The voice of thy thunder was abroad, and around thy lightnings appeared to the world; the earth trembled a quaked. 19 (76:19) Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters, and thy footsteps cannot be known. 20 (76:20) Thou didst guide thy people as sheep by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
