Psalms  77

1. I cried out to God for help; I cried out to God to hear me.
2. When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; at night I stretched out untiring hands and my soul refused to be comforted.
3. I remembered you, O God, and I groaned; I mused, and my spirit grew faint. Selah
4. You kept my eyes from closing; I was too troubled to speak.
5. I thought about the former days, the years of long ago;
6. I remembered my songs in the night. My heart mused and my spirit inquired:
7. "Will the Lord reject forever? Will he never show his favor again ?
8. Has his unfailing love vanished forever? Has his promise failed for all time ?
9. Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has he in anger withheld his compassion ?" Selah
10. Then I thought, "To this I will appeal: the years of the right hand of the Most High."
11. I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.
12. I will meditate on all your works and consider all your mighty deeds.
13. Your ways, O God, are holy. What god is so great as our God ?
14. You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples.
15. With your mighty arm you redeemed your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
16. The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you and writhed; the very depths were convulsed.
17. The clouds poured down water, the skies resounded with thunder; your arrows flashed back and forth.
18. Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind, your lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked.
19. Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen.
20. You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
