GodsWord - Psalms - 77

77:1  Loudly, I cried to God. Loudly, I cried to God so that he would open his ears to hear me.

77:2  On the day I was in trouble, I went to the Lord for help. At night I stretched out my hands in prayer without growing tired. Yet, my soul refused to be comforted.

77:3  I sigh as I remember God. I begin to lose hope as I think about him. Selah

77:4  (You keep my eyelids open.) I am so upset that I cannot speak.

77:5  I have considered the days of old, the years long ago.

77:6  I remember my song in the night and reflect on it. My spirit searches for an answer:

77:7  Will the Lord reject me for all time? Will he ever accept me?

77:8  Has his mercy come to an end forever? Has his promise been canceled throughout every generation?

77:9  Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has he locked up his compassion because of his anger? Selah

77:10  Then I said, "It makes me feel sick that the power of the Most High is no longer the same."

77:11  I will remember the deeds of the LORD. I will remember your ancient miracles.

77:12  I will reflect on all your actions and think about what you have done.

77:13  O God, your ways are holy! What god is as great as our God?

77:14  You are the God who performs miracles. You have made your strength known among the nations.

77:15  With your might you have defended your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

77:16  The water saw you, O God. The water saw you and shook. Even the depths of the sea trembled.

77:17  The clouds poured out water. The sky thundered. Even your arrows flashed in every direction.

77:18  The sound of your thunder rumbled in the sky. Streaks of lightning lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook.

77:19  Your road went through the sea. Your path went through raging water, but your footprints could not be seen.

77:20  Like a shepherd, you led your people. You had Moses and Aaron take them by the hand.
