Psalm 77
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. I cry out to God; yes, I shout.
|
|
|
|
Oh, that God would listen to me!
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. I think of God, and I moan,
|
|
|
|
overwhelmed with longing for his help. Interlude
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. You don't let me sleep.
|
|
|
|
I am too distressed even to pray!
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. I think of the good old days,
|
|
|
|
long since ended,
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. when my nights were filled with joyful songs.
|
|
|
|
I search my soul and ponder the difference now.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. Has the Lord rejected me forever?
|
|
|
|
Will he never again be kind to me?
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. Is his unfailing love gone forever?
|
|
|
|
Have his promises permanently failed?
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. Has God forgotten to be gracious?
|
|
|
|
Has he slammed the door on his compassion? Interlude
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. And I said, "This is my fate;
|
|
|
|
the Most High has turned his hand against me."
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. But then I recall all you have done, O LORD;
|
|
|
|
I remember your wonderful deeds of long ago.
|
|
|
|
|
|
12. They are constantly in my thoughts.
|
|
|
|
I cannot stop thinking about your mighty works.
|
|
|
|
|
|
13. O God, your ways are holy.
|
|
|
|
Is there any god as mighty as you?
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. You are the God of great wonders!
|
|
|
|
You demonstrate your awesome power among the nations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. By your strong arm, you redeemed your people,
|
|
|
|
the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. Interlude
|
|
|
|
|
|
16. When the Red Sea saw you, O God,
|
|
|
|
its waters looked and trembled!
|
|
|
|
The sea quaked to its very depths.
|
|
|
|
|
|
17. The clouds poured down rain;
|
|
|
|
the thunder rumbled in the sky.
|
|
|
|
Your arrows of lightning flashed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
18. Your thunder roared from the whirlwind;
|
|
|
|
the lightning lit up the world!
|
|
|
|
The earth trembled and shook.
|
|
|
|
|
|
19. Your road led through the sea,
|
|
|
|
your pathway through the mighty waters--
|
|
|
|
a pathway no one knew was there!
|
|
|
|
|
|
20. You led your people along that road like a flock of sheep,
|
|
|
|
with Moses and Aaron as their shepherds.
