Psalm 77 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

In My Distress I Sought the Lord

Psa 77:1

For the choir director. According to [fn]Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A Psalm.

My voice rises to God, and I must cry aloud;

My voice rises to God, and He will hear me.

Psa 77:2

In the day of my distress I sought the Lord;

In the night my hand was stretched out [fn]without weariness;

My soul refused to be comforted.

Psa 77:3

I remember God and I am disturbed;

I muse and my spirit faints. [fn]Selah.

Psa 77:4

You have held my eyelids open;

I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

Psa 77:5

I give thought to the days of old,

The years of long ago.

Psa 77:6

I remember my music in the night;

I am musing with my heart,

And my spirit is searching:

Psa 77:7

Will the Lord reject evermore?

And will He not be favorable again?

Psa 77:8

Has His lovingkindness ceased forever?

Has His [fn]word ended [fn]from generation to generation?

Psa 77:9

Has God forgotten to be gracious,

Or has He in anger shut up His compassion? Selah.

Psa 77:10

Then I said, “It is my [fn]grief,

That the right hand of the Most High has changed.”

Psa 77:11

I shall remember the deeds of Yah;

Surely I will remember Your wonders of old.

Psa 77:12

I will meditate on all Your work

And muse on Your deeds.

Psa 77:13

O God, Your way is holy;

What god is great like God?

Psa 77:14

You are the God who works wonders;

You have made known Your strength among the peoples.

Psa 77:15

You have by Your arm redeemed Your people,

The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

Psa 77:16

The waters saw You, O God;

The waters saw You, they were in anguish;

The deeps also trembled.

Psa 77:17

The clouds poured out water;

The skies gave forth a sound;

Your arrows went here and there.

Psa 77:18

The sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind;

The lightnings lit up the world;

The earth trembled and shook.

Psa 77:19

Your way was in the sea

And Your paths in the mighty waters,

But Your footprints were not known.

Psa 77:20

You led Your people like a flock

By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
