Psalms 77

¹I cry aloud to God; I cry aloud, and he hears me.

²In times of trouble I pray to the Lord; all night long I lift my hands in prayer, but I cannot find comfort.

³When I think of God, I sigh; when I meditate, I feel discouraged.

⁴He keeps me awake all night; I am so worried that I cannot speak.

⁵I think of days gone by and remember years of long ago.

⁶I spend the night in deep thought; I meditate, and this is what I ask myself:

⁷"Will the Lord always reject us? Will he never again be pleased with us?

⁸Has he stopped loving us? Does his promise no longer stand?

⁹Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has anger taken the place of his compassion?"

¹⁰Then I said, "What hurts me most is this--- that God is no longer powerful."

¹¹I will remember your great deeds, LORD; I will recall the wonders you did in the past.

¹²I will think about all that you have done; I will meditate on all your mighty acts.

¹³Everything you do, O God, is holy. No god is as great as you.

¹⁴You are the God who works miracles; you showed your might among the nations.

¹⁵By your power you saved your people, the descendants of Jacob and of Joseph.

¹⁶When the waters saw you, O God, they were afraid, and the depths of the sea trembled.

¹⁷The clouds poured down rain; thunder crashed from the sky, and lightning flashed in all directions.

¹⁸The crash of your thunder rolled out, and flashes of lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and shook.

¹⁹You walked through the waves; you crossed the deep sea, but your footprints could not be seen.

²⁰You led your people like a shepherd, with Moses and Aaron in charge.
