Psalms 77

In the Day of Trouble I Seek the Lord

To the choirmaster: according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.

I cry aloud to God,
aloud to God, and he will hear me.

For Jeduthun, the choir director: A psalm of Asaph.

I cry out to God; yes, I shout.
Oh, that God would listen to me!

In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord;
in the night my hand is stretched out without wearying;
my soul refuses to be comforted.

When I was in deep trouble,
I searched for the Lord.
All night long I prayed, with hands lifted toward heaven,
but my soul was not comforted.

When I remember God, I moan;
when I meditate, my spirit faints. Selah

I think of God, and I moan,
overwhelmed with longing for his help.
Interlude

You hold my eyelids open;
I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

You don’t let me sleep.
I am too distressed even to pray!

I consider the days of old,
the years long ago.

I think of the good old days,
long since ended,

I said,a “Let me remember my song in the night;
let me meditate in my heart.”
Then my spirit made a diligent search:

when my nights were filled with joyful songs.
I search my soul and ponder the difference now.

“Will the Lord spurn forever,
and never again be favorable?

Has the Lord rejected me forever?
Will he never again be kind to me?

Has his steadfast love forever ceased?
Are his promises at an end for all time?

Is his unfailing love gone forever?
Have his promises permanently failed?

Has God forgotten to be gracious?
Has he in anger shut up his compassion?” Selah

Has God forgotten to be gracious?
Has he slammed the door on his compassion?
Interlude

Then I said, “I will appeal to this,
to the years of the right hand of the Most High.”b

And I said, “This is my fate;
the Most High has turned his hand against me.”

I will remember the deeds of the Lord;
yes, I will remember your wonders of old.

But then I recall all you have done, O LORD;
I remember your wonderful deeds of long ago.

I will ponder all your work,
and meditate on your mighty deeds.

They are constantly in my thoughts.
I cannot stop thinking about your mighty works.

Your way, O God, is holy.
What god is great like our God?

O God, your ways are holy.
Is there any god as mighty as you?

You are the God who works wonders;
you have made known your might among the peoples.

You are the God of great wonders!
You demonstrate your awesome power among the nations.

You with your arm redeemed your people,
the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

By your strong arm, you redeemed your people,
the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.
Interlude

When the waters saw you, O God,
when the waters saw you, they were afraid;
indeed, the deep trembled.

When the Red Seaa saw you, O God,
its waters looked and trembled!
The sea quaked to its very depths.

The clouds poured out water;
the skies gave forth thunder;
your arrows flashed on every side.

The clouds poured down rain;
the thunder rumbled in the sky.
Your arrows of lightning flashed.

The crash of your thunder was in the whirlwind;
your lightnings lighted up the world;
the earth trembled and shook.

Your thunder roared from the whirlwind;
the lightning lit up the world!
The earth trembled and shook.

Your way was through the sea,
your path through the great waters;
yet your footprints were unseen.c

Your road led through the sea,
your pathway through the mighty waters —
a pathway no one knew was there!

You led your people like a flock
by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

You led your people along that road like a flock of sheep,
with Moses and Aaron as their shepherds.
