Psalms 77

I cried out to God with my voice, to God with my voice, and he turned his ear to me. In the day of my trouble I looked for the LORD. My hand was stretched out at night and it didn't go slack. My soul refused to be comforted. I remembered God and I groaned. I complained and my spirit was weary. Selah. You hold my eyes open. I'm too trouble

Will the Lord throw us off forever?

I cried out to God with my voice, to God with my voice, and he turned his ear to me. In the day of my trouble I looked for the LORD. My hand was stretched out at night and it didn't go slack. My soul refused to be comforted. I remembered God and I groaned. I complained and my spirit was weary. Selah. You hold my eyes open. I'm too troubled to speak. I thought about the days of old, the years long ago. I remember my song in the night. I talk with my own heart, and my spirit searches hard. Will the Lord cast off forever? Will he be favourable no more? Has his mercy ceased forever? Has his promise failed for every generation? Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he shut up his tender mercies in anger? Selah. Then I said, 'This is my infirmity — but I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.' I'll remember the works of the LORD. I'll remember your wonders from long ago. I'll think over everything you've done and talk about what you've made. Your way, God, is in the sanctuary. What god is as great as our God? You're the God who does wonders. You've shown your strength among the peoples. You've redeemed your people with your arm, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. The waters saw you, God. The waters saw you and were shaken. The deeps shook too. The clouds poured out water. The skies thundered. Your arrows went everywhere. The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind. The lightning lit up the world. The earth shook and rocked. Your way was through the sea and your path through great waters, and your footprints weren't known. You led your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

I cried out to God with my voice, to God with my voice, and he turned his ear to me. In the day of my trouble I looked for the Lord. My hand was stretched out at night and it didn't go slack. My soul refused to be comforted. I remembered God and I groaned. I complained and my spirit was worn out. You hold my eyes open. I'm too troubled to speak. I thought about the days of old, the years long ago. I remember my song in the night. I talk with my own heart, and my spirit searches hard. Will the Lord throw us off forever? Will he never be pleased again? Has his faithful love finished for good? Has his word stopped for every generation? Has God forgotten how to be gracious? Has he shut up his mercies in anger? And I said: This is what wears me out — but I'll remember the years of the right hand of the Most High. I'll remember the works of the Lord. I'll remember your wonders from long ago. I'll think over everything you've done and talk about what you've made. Your way, God, is in the holy place. What god is as great as our God? You're the God who does wonders. You've shown your strength among the peoples. You've bought your people back with your arm, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. The waters saw you, God. The waters saw you and were shaken. The deeps shook too. The clouds poured out water. The sky let out a sound. Your arrows went everywhere. The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind. The lightning lit up the world. The earth shook and rocked. Your way was through the sea and your path through great waters, and your footprints weren't known. You led your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me. 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. I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah. Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak. I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times. I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search. Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more? Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore? Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah. And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High. I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God? Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people. Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled. The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad. The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook. Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known. Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
