Psalm 77:1–20

¹I ^acry aloud to God,

aloud to God, and he will hear me.

^2bIn the day of my trouble I seek the Lord;

in ^cthe night my ^dhand is stretched out without wearying;

my soul ^erefuses to be comforted.

³When I remember God, I ^fmoan;

when I meditate, my spirit faints. Selah

⁴You hold my eyelids open;

I am so ^gtroubled that I cannot speak.

⁵I consider ^hthe days of old,

the years long ago.

⁶I said,¹ “Let me remember my ⁱsong in the night;

let me ^jmeditate in my heart.”

Then my spirit made a diligent search:

⁷“Will the Lord ^kspurn forever,

and never again ^lbe favorable?

⁸Has his steadfast love forever ceased?

Are his ^mpromises at an end for all time?

⁹ⁿHas God forgotten to be gracious?

^oHas he in anger shut up his compassion?” Selah

¹⁰Then I said, “I will appeal to this,

to the years of the ^pright hand of the Most High.”²

¹¹I will remember the deeds of the Lord;

yes, I will ^qremember your wonders of old.

¹²I will ponder all your ^rwork,

and meditate on your ^smighty deeds.

¹³Your way, O God, is ^tholy.

^uWhat god is great like our God?

¹⁴You are the God who ^vworks wonders;

you have ^wmade known your might among the peoples.

¹⁵You ^xwith your arm redeemed your people,

the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

¹⁶When ^ythe waters saw you, O God,

when the waters saw you, they were afraid;

indeed, the deep trembled.

¹⁷The clouds poured out water;

the skies ^zgave forth thunder;

your ^aarrows flashed on every side.

^18bThe crash of your thunder was in the whirlwind;

^cyour lightnings lighted up the world;

the earth ^dtrembled and shook.

¹⁹Your ^eway was through the sea,

your path through the great waters;

yet your footprints ^fwere unseen.³

²⁰You ^gled your people like a flock

by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
