Psalm 77 :: New King James Version (NKJV)

The Consoling Memory of God’s Redemptive Works

Psa 77:1To the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.

I cried out to God with my voice—
To God with my voice;
And He gave ear to me.

Psa 77:2

Psa 77:2In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord;
My hand was stretched out in the night without ceasing;
My soul refused to be comforted.

Psa 77:3

Psa 77:3I remembered God, and was troubled;
I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah

Psa 77:4

Psa 77:4You hold my eyelids open;
I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

Psa 77:5

Psa 77:5I have considered the days of old,
The years of ancient times.

Psa 77:6

Psa 77:6I call to remembrance my song in the night;
I meditate within my heart,
And my spirit makes diligent search.

Psa 77:7

Psa 77:7Will the Lord cast off forever?
And will He be favorable no more?

Psa 77:8

Psa 77:8Has His mercy ceased forever?
Has His promise failed forevermore?

Psa 77:9

Psa 77:9Has God forgotten to be gracious?
Has He in anger shut up His tender mercies? Selah

Psa 77:10

Psa 77:10And I said, “This is my anguish;
But I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.”

Psa 77:11

Psa 77:11I will remember the works of the LORD;
Surely I will remember Your wonders of old.

Psa 77:12

Psa 77:12I will also meditate on all Your work,
And talk of Your deeds.

Psa 77:13

Psa 77:13Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary;
Who is so great a God as our God?

Psa 77:14

Psa 77:14You are the God who does wonders;
You have declared Your strength among the peoples.

Psa 77:15

Psa 77:15You have with Your arm redeemed Your people,
The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

Psa 77:16

Psa 77:16The waters saw You, O God;
The waters saw You, they were afraid;
The depths also trembled.

Psa 77:17

Psa 77:17The clouds poured out water;
The skies sent out a sound;
Your arrows also flashed about.

Psa 77:18

Psa 77:18The voice of Your thunder was in the whirlwind;
The lightnings lit up the world;
The earth trembled and shook.

Psa 77:19

Psa 77:19Your way was in the sea,
Your path in the great waters,
And Your footsteps were not known.

Psa 77:20

Psa 77:20You led Your people like a flock
By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
