| Chapter 77 |
1 |
For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph, a song. I will cry unto God with my voice, Even unto God with my voice; and he will give ear unto me. --
|
2 |
In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: My hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not; My soul refused to be comforted. --
|
3 |
I remember God, and am disquieted: I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah --
|
4 |
Thou holdest mine eyes watching: I am so troubled that I cannot speak. --
|
5 |
I have considered the days of old, The years of ancient times. --
|
6 |
I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart; And my spirit maketh diligent search. --
|
7 |
Will the Lord cast off for ever? And will he be favorable no more? --
|
8 |
Is his lovingkindness clean gone for ever? Doth his promise fail for evermore? --
|
9 |
Hath God forgotten to be gracious? Hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah --
|
10 |
And I said, This is my infirmity; [But I will remember] the years of the right hand of the Most High. --
|
11 |
I will make mention of the deeds of Jehovah; For I will remember thy wonders of old. --
|
12 |
I will meditate also upon all thy work, And muse on thy doings. --
|
13 |
Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: Who is a great god like unto God? --
|
14 |
Thou art the God that doest wonders: Thou hast made known thy strength among the peoples. --
|
15 |
Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah --
|
16 |
The waters saw thee, O God; The waters saw thee, they were afraid: The depths also trembled. --
|
17 |
The clouds poured out water; The skies sent out a sound: Thine arrows also went abroad. --
|
18 |
The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightnings lightened the world: The earth trembled and shook. --
|
19 |
Thy way was in the sea, And thy paths in the great waters, And thy footsteps were not known. --
|
20 |
Thou leddest thy people like a flock, By the hand of Moses and Aaron. --
