(KJV) Psalm 77¹

⥃In the Day of Trouble I Sought the Lord

To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm² of Asaph³.

[1] I cried⁴ unto God with my voice, [even] unto God with my voice; and he gave⁵ ear unto me. [2] In the⁶ day of my⁷ trouble I sought the Lord: my sore⁸ ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul⁹ refused to be comforted. [3] I remembered¹⁰ God, and was troubled: I complained¹¹, and my spirit¹² was overwhelmed. Selah. [4] Thou holdest¹³ mine eyes waking: I am¹⁴ so troubled that I cannot speak. [5] I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.¹⁵ [6] I call to remembrance my song¹⁶ in the night: I commune¹⁷ with mine own heart: and¹⁸ my spirit made diligent search. [7] Will the Lord¹⁹ cast off for ever? and will²⁰ he be favourable no more? [8] Is his²¹ mercy clean gone for ever? doth²² [his] promise fail for evermore²³? [9] Hath God²⁴ forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up²⁵ his tender mercies? Selah. [10] And I said, This [is²⁶] my infirmity: [but I will remember] the years²⁷ of the right hand of the most High.²⁸ [11] I will remember the works of the Lord: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.²⁹ [12] I will meditate³⁰ also of all thy work, and talk³¹ of thy doings. [13] Thy way³², O God, [is] in the sanctuary: who³³ [is so] great a God as [our] God? [14] Thou [art] the God³⁴ that doest wonders: thou hast³⁵ declared thy strength among the people. [15] Thou hast with³⁶ [thine] arm redeemed thy people, the sons³⁷ of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. [16] The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.³⁸ [17] The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine³⁹ arrows also went abroad.⁴⁰ [18] The voice⁴¹ of thy thunder [was] in the heaven: the lightnings⁴² lightened the world: the earth⁴³ trembled and shook. [19] Thy way⁴⁴ [is] in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps⁴⁵ are not known. [20] Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. ⁴⁶
