In the Day of Trouble I Seek the Lord
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 77
|
|
1. I cry aloud to God,
|
|
aloud to God, and he will hear me.
|
|
|
|
2. 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.
|
|
|
|
3. When I remember God, I moan;
|
|
|
|
when I meditate, my spirit faints. Selah
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. You hold my eyelids open;
|
|
I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
|
|
|
|
5. I consider the days of old,
|
|
the years long ago.
|
|
|
|
6. I said, "Let me remember my song in the night;
|
|
let me meditate in my heart."
|
|
Then my spirit made a diligent search:
|
|
|
|
7. "Will the Lord spurn forever,
|
|
and never again be favorable?
|
|
|
|
8. Has his steadfast love forever ceased?
|
|
Are his promises at an end for all time?
|
|
|
|
9. Has God forgotten to be gracious?
|
|
Has he in anger shut up his compassion?" Selah
|
|
|
|
10. Then I said, "I will appeal to this,
|
|
to the years of the right hand of the Most High."
|
|
|
|
11. I will remember the deeds of the LORD;
|
|
yes, I will remember your wonders of old.
|
|
|
|
12. I will ponder all your work,
|
|
and meditate on your mighty deeds.
|
|
|
|
13. Your way, O God, is holy.
|
|
What god is great like our God?
|
|
|
|
14. You are the God who works wonders;
|
|
you have made known your might among the peoples.
|
|
|
|
15. You with your arm redeemed your people,
|
|
|
|
the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
|
|
|
|
|
|
16. When the waters saw you, O God,
|
|
when the waters saw you, they were afraid;
|
|
indeed, the deep trembled.
|
|
|
|
17. The clouds poured out water;
|
|
the skies gave forth thunder;
|
|
your arrows flashed on every side.
|
|
|
|
18. The crash of your thunder was in the whirlwind;
|
|
your lightnings lighted up the world;
|
|
the earth trembled and shook.
|
|
|
|
19. Your way was through the sea,
|
|
your path through the great waters;
|
|
yet your footprints were unseen.
|
|
|
|
20. You led your people like a flock
|
|
by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
