Psalm 77 — Legacy Standard Bible

In My Distress I Sought the Lord

For the choir director. According to ¹Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A Psalm.

My voice rises to God, and I must ^acry aloud;My voice rises to God, and He will hear me.²In the ^aday of my distress I sought the Lord;^bIn the night my ^chand was stretched out ¹without weariness;My soul ^drefused to be comforted.³I remember God and I am ^adisturbed;I ^bmuse and ^cmy spirit faints. ¹ Selah.⁴You have held my eyelids open;I am so troubled that I ^acannot speak.⁵I give thought to the ^adays of old,The years of long ago.⁶I remember my ^amusic in the night;I ^bam musing with my heart,And my spirit is searching:⁷Will the Lord ^areject evermore?And will He ^bnot be favorable again?⁸Has His ^alovingkindness ceased forever?Has His ¹^,^bword ended ²from generation to generation?⁹Has God ^aforgotten to be gracious,Or has He in anger shut up His ^bcompassion? Selah.¹⁰Then I said, “^aIt is my ¹grief,That the ^bright hand of the Most High has changed.”¹¹I shall remember the ^adeeds of Yah;Surely I will ^bremember Your wonders of old.¹²I will ^ameditate on all Your workAnd muse on Your deeds.¹³O God, Your way is ^aholy;^bWhat god is great like God?¹⁴You are the ^aGod who works wonders;You have ^bmade known Your strength among the peoples.¹⁵You have by Your arm ^aredeemed Your people,The sons of Jacob and ^bJoseph. Selah.¹⁶The ^awaters saw You, O God;The waters saw You, they were in anguish;The deeps also trembled.¹⁷The ^aclouds poured out water;The skies ^bgave forth a sound;Your ^carrows went here and there.¹⁸The ^asound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind;The ^blightnings lit up the world;The ^cearth trembled and shook.¹⁹Your ^away was in the seaAnd Your paths in the mighty waters,But Your footprints were not known.²⁰You ^aled Your people like a flockBy the hand of ^bMoses and Aaron.
