For the end, for Idithun, a Psalm of Asaph.
77:1 I cried to the Lord with my voice, yea, my voice [was addressed] to
God; and he gave heed to me.
77:2 In the day of mine affliction I earnestly sought the Lord; [even] with
my hands by night before him, and I was not deceived; my soul refused to be
comforted.
77:3 I remembered God, and rejoiced; I poured out my complaint, and my soul
fainted. Pause.
77:4 All mine enemies set a watch [against me]: I was troubled, and spoke
not.
77:5 I considered the days of old, and remembered ancient ears.
77:6 And I meditated; I communed with my heart by night, and diligently
searched my spirit, [saying],
77:7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be well pleased no more?
77:8 Will he cut off his mercy for ever, even for ever and ever?
77:9 Will God forget to pity? or will he shut up his compassions in his
wrath? Pause.
77:10 And I said, Now I have begun; this is the change of the right hand of
the Most High.
77:11 I remembered the works of the Lord; for I will remember thy wonders
from the beginning.
77:12 And I will meditate on all thy works, and will consider thy doings.
77:13 O God, thy way is in the sanctuary; who is a great God as our God?
77:14 Thou art the God that doest wonders; thou hast made known thy power
among the nations.
77:15 Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and
Joseph. Pause.
77:16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee, and feared; and the
depths were troubled.
77:17 [There was] an abundant sound of waters: the clouds uttered a voice;
for thine arrows went abroad.
77:18 The voice of thy thunder was abroad, and around thy lightnings
appeared to the world; the earth trembled a quaked.
77:19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters, and thy footsteps
cannot be known.
77:20 Thou didst guide thy people as sheep by the hand of Moses and Aaron. |
To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm
of Asaph. 77:1 I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my
voice; and he gave ear unto me.
77:2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night,
and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.
77:3 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was
overwhelmed. Selah.
77:4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
77:5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
77:6 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own
heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
77:7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?
77:8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?
77:9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender
mercies? Selah.
77:10 And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the
right hand of the most High.
77:11 I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy
wonders of old.
77:12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.
77:13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
77:14 Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength
among the people.
77:15 Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and
Joseph. Selah.
77:16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the
depths also were troubled.
77:17 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows
also went abroad.
77:18 The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened
the world: the earth trembled and shook.
77:19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy
footsteps are not known.
77:20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. |
