Psalms 77:1-9

1I will cry out to God and call for help! I will cry out to God and he will pay attention to me.

2In my time of trouble I sought the Lord. I kept my hand raised in prayer throughout the night. I refused to be comforted.

3I said, “I will remember God while I groan; I will think about him while my strength leaves me.” (Selah)

4You held my eyelids open; I was troubled and could not speak.

5I thought about the days of old, about ancient times.

6I said, “During the night I will remember the song I once sang; I will think very carefully.” I tried to make sense of what was happening.

7I asked, “Will the Lord reject me forever? Will he never again show me his favor?

8Has his loyal love disappeared forever? Has his promise failed forever?

9Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has his anger stifled his compassion?”
