Psalm 77:1-Psalm 78:1 - Confidence In A Time Of Crisis

¹ For the choir director: according to Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A psalm.I cry aloud to God,
aloud to God, and He will hear me.
² I sought the Lord in my day of trouble.
My hands were continually lifted up
all night long;
I refused to be comforted.
³ I think of God; I groan;
I meditate; my spirit becomes weak.Selah

⁴ You have kept me from closing my eyes;
I am troubled and cannot speak.
⁵ I consider days of old,
years long past.
⁶ At night I remember my music;
I meditate in my heart, and my spirit ponders.

⁷ “Will the Lord reject forever
and never again show favor?
⁸ Has His faithful love ceased forever?
Is His promise at an end for all generations?
⁹ Has God forgotten to be gracious?
Has He in anger withheld His compassion?”Selah

¹⁰ So I say, “I am grieved
that the right hand of the Most High has changed.”
¹¹ I will remember the Lord’s works;
yes, I will remember Your ancient wonders.
¹² I will reflect on all You have done
and meditate on Your actions.

¹³ God, Your way is holy.
What god is great like God?
¹⁴ You are the God who works wonders;
You revealed Your strength among the peoples.
¹⁵ With power You redeemed Your people,
the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.Selah

¹⁶ The waters saw You, God.
The waters saw You; they trembled.
Even the depths shook.
¹⁷ The clouds poured down water.
The storm clouds thundered;
Your arrows flashed back and forth.
¹⁸ The sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind;
lightning lit up the world.
The earth shook and quaked.
¹⁹ Your way went through the sea
and Your path through the great waters,
but Your footprints were unseen.
²⁰ You led Your people like a flock
by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

¹ A Maskil of Asaph.My people, hear my instruction;
listen to what I say.
