Psalm 77

NASB

Psalm 77

Comfort in Trouble from Recalling God’s Mighty Deeds.

^{Tools
1} For the choir director; ^(a)according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.

My voice rises to God, and I will ^(A)cry aloud;
My voice rises to God, and He will hear me.

^{Tools
2}

In the ^(B)day of my trouble I sought the Lord;
^(C)In the night my ^(D)hand was stretched out ^(b)without weariness;
My soul ^(E)refused to be comforted.

^{Tools
3}

When I remember God, then I am ^(F)disturbed;
When I ^(G)sigh, then ^(H)my spirit grows faint. ^(c)Selah.

^{Tools
4}

You have held my eyelids open;
I am so troubled that I ^(I)cannot speak.

^{Tools
5}

I have considered the ^(J)days of old,
The years of long ago.

^{Tools
6}

I will remember my ^(K)song in the night;
I ^(L)will meditate with my heart,
And my spirit ^(d)ponders:

^{Tools
7}

Will the Lord ^(M)reject forever?
And will He ^(N)never be favorable again?

^{Tools
8}

Has His ^(O)lovingkindness ceased forever?
Has His ^(e)^(P)promise come to an end ^(f)forever?

^{Tools
9}

Has God ^(Q)forgotten to be gracious,
Or has He in anger ^(g)withdrawn His ^(R)compassion? Selah.

^{Tools
10}

Then I said, “^(S)It is my ^(h)grief,
That the ^(T)right hand of the Most High has changed.”

^{Tools
11}

I shall remember the ^(U)deeds of ⁽ⁱ⁾the Lord;
Surely I will ^(V)remember Your wonders of old.

^{Tools
12}

I will ^(W)meditate on all Your work
And muse on Your deeds.

^{Tools
13}

Your way, O God, is ^(X)holy;
^(Y)What god is great like our God?

^{Tools
14}

You are the ^(Z)God who works wonders;
You have ^(AA)made known Your strength among the peoples.

^{Tools
15}

You have by Your ^(j)power ^(AB)redeemed Your people,
The sons of Jacob and ^(AC)Joseph. Selah.

^{Tools
16}

The ^(AD)waters saw You, O God;
The waters saw You, they were in anguish;
The deeps also trembled.

^{Tools
17}

The ^(AE)clouds poured out water;
The skies ^(AF)gave forth a sound;
Your ^(AG)arrows ^(k)flashed here and there.

^{Tools
18}

The ^(AH)sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind;
The ^(AI)lightnings lit up the world;
The ^(AJ)earth trembled and shook.

^{Tools
19}

Your ^(AK)way was in the sea
And Your paths in the mighty waters,
And Your footprints may not be known.

^{Tools
20}

You ^(AL)led Your people like a flock
By the hand of ^(AM)Moses and Aaron.
