Psalm 77

Revised Geneva Translation

77 My voice came to God when I cried. My voice came to God and He heard me.

² On the day of my trouble, I sought the LORD. My hand did not cease in the night. My soul refused comfort.

³ I thought upon God and was troubled. I prayed, and my spirit was full of anguish. Selah.

⁴ You keep my eyes awake. I was astonished and could not speak.

⁵ I considered the days of old, the years of ancient time.

⁶ I called to remembrance my song in the night. I communed with my own heart; and my spirit searched diligently.

⁷ Will the LORD be absent forever? And will He show no more favor?

⁸ Has His mercy ceased forever? Does His promise fail forevermore?

⁹ Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has He shut up His tender mercies in displeasure? Selah.

¹⁰ And I said, “This is my death.” Yet, I remembered the years of the right hand of the Most High.

¹¹ I remembered the works of the LORD. Certainly, I remembered Your wonders of old.

¹² I will also meditate on all Your works and talk of Your acts.

¹³ Your way, O God, is in the Sanctuary. Who is so great a God as our God!

¹⁴ You are the God Who does wonders. You have declared Your power among the people.

¹⁵ You have redeemed Your people with Your arm, even the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

¹⁶ The waters saw You, O God. The waters saw You and were afraid. Indeed, the depths trembled.

¹⁷ The clouds poured out water. The heavens gave a sound. Indeed, Your arrows went all over.

¹⁸ The voice of Your thunder was all round. The lightnings lightened the world; the earth trembled and shook.

¹⁹ Your way is in the sea, Your paths in the great waters; and Your footsteps are not known.

²⁰ You led Your people like sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron. A Psalm to give instruction, committed to Asaph
