| Chapter 76 |
1 |
Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of Asaph. --
|
2 |
I cried to the Lord with my voice; to God with my voice, and he gave ear to me. --
|
3 |
In the day 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: --
|
4 |
I remembered God, and was delighted, and was exercised, and my spirit swooned away. --
|
5 |
My eyes prevented the watches: I was troubled, and I spoke not. --
|
6 |
I thought upon the days of old: and I had in my mind the eternal years. --
|
7 |
And I meditated in the night with my own heart: and I was exercised and I swept my spirit. --
|
8 |
Will God then cast off for ever? or will he never be more favourable again? --
|
9 |
Or will he cut off his mercy for ever, from generation to generation? --
|
10 |
Or will God forget to shew mercy? or will he in his anger shut up his mercies? --
|
11 |
And I said, Now have I begun: this is the change of the right hand of the most High. --
|
12 |
I remembered the works of the Lord: for I will be mindful of thy wonders from the beginning. --
|
13 |
And I will meditate on all thy works: and will be employed in thy inventions. --
|
14 |
Thy way, O God, is in the holy place: who is the great God like our God? --
|
15 |
Thou art the God that dost wonders. Thou hast made thy power known among the nations: --
|
16 |
with thy arm thou hast redeemed thy people the children of Jacob and of Joseph. --
|
17 |
The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee: and they were afraid, and the depths were troubled. --
|
18 |
Great was the noise of the waters: the clouds sent out a sound. For thy arrows pass: --
|
19 |
the voice of thy thunder in a wheel. Thy lightnings enlightened the world: the earth shook and trembled. --
|
20 |
Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters: and thy footsteps shall not be known. --
|
21 |
Thou hast conducted thy people like sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron --
