Psalm 77

Confidence in a Time of Crisis

^{Tools
1} For the choir director: according to Jeduthun. Of Asaph.^(A) A psalm.

I cry aloud to God,
aloud to God, and He will hear me.^(B)

^{Tools
2}

I sought the Lord in my day of trouble.
My hands were continually lifted up
all night long;
I refused to be comforted.^(C)

^{Tools
3}

I think of God; I groan;
I meditate; my spirit becomes weak.^(D)Selah

^{Tools
4}

You have kept me from closing my eyes;
I am troubled and cannot speak.^(E)

^{Tools
5}

I consider days of old,
years long past.^(F)

^{Tools
6}

At night I remember my music;
I meditate in my heart, and my spirit ponders.^(G)

^{Tools
7}

“Will the Lord reject forever
and never again show favor?^(H)

^{Tools
8}

Has His faithful love ceased forever?
Is His promise at an end for all generations?^(I)

^{Tools
9}

Has God forgotten to be gracious?
Has He in anger withheld His compassion?”^(J)Selah

^{Tools
10}

So I say, “I am grieved^(a)
that the right hand of the Most High has changed.”^(K)

^{Tools
11}

I will remember the Lord’s works;
yes, I will remember Your ancient wonders.^(L)

^{Tools
12}

I will reflect on all You have done
and meditate on Your actions.^(M)

^{Tools
13}

God, Your way is holy.
What god is great like God?^(N)

^{Tools
14}

You are the God who works wonders;
You revealed Your strength among the peoples.^(O)

^{Tools
15}

With power You redeemed Your people,
the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.^(P)Selah

^{Tools
16}

The waters saw You, God.
The waters saw You; they trembled.
Even the depths shook.^(Q)

^{Tools
17}

The clouds poured down water.
The storm clouds thundered;
Your arrows flashed back and forth.^(R)

^{Tools
18}

The sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind;
lightning lit up the world.^(S)
The earth shook and quaked.^(T)

^{Tools
19}

Your way went through the sea
and Your path through the great waters,
but Your footprints were unseen.^(U)

^{Tools
20}

You led Your people like a flock^(V)
by the hand of Moses and Aaron.^(W)
