Psalm 77:1–12

1 I cried out to Godz for help;

I cried out to God to hear me.

2 When I was in distress,a I sought the Lord;

at nightb I stretched out untiring hands,c

and I would not be comforted.d

3 I rememberede you, God, and I groaned;f

I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.b g

4 You kept my eyes from closing;

I was too troubled to speak.h

5 I thought about the former days,i

the years of long ago;

6 I remembered my songs in the night.

My heart meditated and my spirit asked:

7 “Will the Lord reject forever?j

Will he never show his favork again?

8 Has his unfailing lovel vanished forever?

Has his promisem failed for all time?

9 Has God forgotten to be merciful?n

Has he in anger withheld his compassion?o”

10 Then I thought, “To this I will appeal:

the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand.p

11 I will remember the deeds of the Lord;

yes, I will remember your miraclesq of long ago.

12 I will considerr all your works

and meditate on all your mighty deeds.”s
