Psalm 77 :: Christian Standard Bible (CSB)

Confidence in a Time of Crisis

For the choir director: according to Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A psalm.

Psa 77:1

I cry aloud to God,

aloud to God, and he will hear me.

Psa 77:2

I sought the Lord in my day of trouble.

My hands were continually lifted up

all night long;

I refused to be comforted.

Psa 77:3

I think of God; I groan;

I meditate; my spirit becomes weak.Selah

Psa 77:4

You have kept me from closing my eyes;

I am troubled and cannot speak.

Psa 77:5

I consider days of old,

years long past.

Psa 77:6

At night I remember my music;

I meditate in my heart, and my spirit ponders.

Psa 77:7

“Will the Lord reject forever

and never again show favor?

Psa 77:8

“Has his faithful love ceased forever?

Is his promise at an end for all generations?

Psa 77:9

“Has God forgotten to be gracious?

Has he in anger withheld his compassion? ”Selah

Psa 77:10

So I say, “I am grieved

that the right hand of the Most High has changed.”[fn]

Psa 77:11

I will remember the LORD’s works;

yes, I will remember your ancient wonders.

Psa 77:12

I will reflect on all you have done

and meditate on your actions.

Psa 77:13

God, your way is holy.

What god is great like God?

Psa 77:14

You are the God who works wonders;

you revealed your strength among the peoples.

Psa 77:15

With power you redeemed your people,

the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.Selah

Psa 77:16

The water saw you, God.

The water saw you; it trembled.

Even the depths shook.

Psa 77:17

The clouds poured down water.

The storm clouds thundered;

your arrows flashed back and forth.

Psa 77:18

The sound of your thunder was in the whirlwind;

lightning lit up the world.

The earth shook and quaked.

Psa 77:19

Your way went through the sea

and your path through the vast water,

but your footprints were unseen.

Psa 77:20

You led your people like a flock

by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
