Psalm 76:2–13

²I cried to the Lord with my voice; to God with my voice, and he gave ear to me.

³In the days of my trouble I sought God, with my hands lifted up to him in the night, and I was not deceived. My soul refused to be comforted:

⁴I remembered God, and was delighted, and was exercised, and my spirit swooned away.

⁵My eyes prevented the watches: I was troubled, and I spoke not.

⁶I thought upon the days of old: and I had in my mind the eternal years.

⁷And I meditated in the night with my own heart: and I was exercised and I swept my spirit.

⁸Will God then cast off for ever? or will he never be more favourable again?

⁹Or will he cut off his mercy for ever, from generation to generation?

¹⁰Or will God forget to shew mercy? or will he in his anger shut up his mercies?

¹¹And I said, Now have I begun: this is the change of the right hand of the most High.

¹²I remembered the works of the Lord: for I will be mindful of thy wonders from the beginning.

¹³And I will meditate on all thy works: and will be employed in thy inventions.
