Psalm 77

Revised Version 1895

For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.

1I will cry unto God with my voice; evenH5921 unto God with my voice, and he wilt give ear unto meH5921.

2In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my hand was stretched outH413 in the night, and slacked not; my soul refused to be comforted.

3I remember GodH136, and am disquieted: I complain, and my spiritH5315 is overwhelmed. Selah

4Thou holdest mine eyes watching: I am so troubled that I cannot speakH7878.

5I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

6I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine ownH5769 heart; and my spirit made diligent search.

7Will the Lord cast offH5973 for ever? and will he be favourable no more?

8Is his mercy clean goneH3808 for everH5769? doth his promise failH3808 for evermore?

9Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah

10And I said, This is my infirmity; but I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.

11I will make mention of the deeds of the LORDH3225; for I will remember thy wonders of oldH8141.

12I will meditate also upon all thy work, and muse on thy doingsH4611.

13Thy wayH3605, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is a great god like unto God?

14Thou art the GodH430 that doest wonders: thou hast made known thy strength among the peoples.

15Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy peopleH5971, the sons of Jacob and JosephH5971. Selah

16The waters saw thee, O God; the waters saw thee, they were afraid: the depths also trembled.

17The clouds poured outH7200 waterH4325; the skies sent outH7200 a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.

18The voiceH6963 of thy thunderH6963 was in the whirlwind; the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.

19Thy way was in the sea, and thy paths in the great waters, and thy footsteps were notH776 known.

20Thou leddest thy peopleH3808 like a flock, by the hand of MosesH3808 and Aaron.
