Psalms 77:1-9

1Loudly, I cried to God. Loudly, I cried to God so that he would open his ears to ⌞hear⌟ me.

2On the day I was in trouble, I went to the Lord for help. At night I stretched out my hands in prayer without growing tired. Yet, my soul refused to be comforted.

3I sigh as I remember God. I begin to lose hope as I think about him. Selah

4(You keep my eyelids open.) I am so upset that I cannot speak.

5I have considered the days of old, the years long ago.

6I remember my song in the night and reflect ⌞on it⌟. My spirit searches ⌞for an answer⌟:

7Will the Lord reject ⌞me⌟ for all time? Will he ever accept me?

8Has his mercy come to an end forever? Has his promise been canceled throughout every generation?

9Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has he locked up his compassion because of his anger? Selah
