Psalm 77

77[For Jeduthun, the choir director: A psalm of Asaph.] I cry out to God; yes, I shout. Oh, that God would listen to me!H5329H3038H4210H623H6817H430H6963H430H6963H2382When I was in deep trouble, I searched for the Lord. All night long I prayed, with hands lifted toward heaven, but my soul was not comforted.H3117H6869H1875H136H3027H5064H3915H6313H5315H3985H51623I think of God, and I moan, overwhelmed with longing for his help. InterludeH2142H430H1993H7878H7307H5848H55424You don’t let me sleep. I am too distressed even to pray!H270H5869H8109H6470H16965I think of the good old days, long since ended,H2803H3117H6924H8141H57696when my nights were filled with joyful songs. I search my soul and ponder the difference now.H2142H5058H3915H7878H3824H7307H26647Has the Lord rejected me forever? Will he never again be kind to me?H136H2186H5769H3254H75218Is his unfailing love gone forever? Have his promises permanently failed?H2617H656H5331H562H1584H1755H17559Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he slammed the door on his compassion? InterludeH410H7911H2589H639H7092H7356H554210And I said, “This is my fate; the Most High has turned his hand against me.”H559H2470H8141H3225H594511But then I recall all you have done, O Lord; I remember your wonderful deeds of long ago.H2142H2142H4611H3050H2142H6382H692412They are constantly in my thoughts. I cannot stop thinking about your mighty works.H1897H6467H7878H594913O God, your ways are holy. Is there any god as mighty as you?H1870H430H6944H1419H410H43014You are the God of great wonders! You demonstrate your awesome power among the nations.H410H6213H6382H3045H5797H597115By your strong arm, you redeemed your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. InterludeH2220H1350H5971H1121H3290H3130H554216When the Red Sea

saw you, O God, its waters looked and trembled! The sea quaked to its very depths.H4325H7200H430H4325H7200H2342H8415H726417The clouds poured down rain; the thunder rumbled in the sky. Your arrows of lightning flashed.H5645H2229H4325H7834H5414H6963H2687H198018Your thunder roared from the whirlwind; the lightning lit up the world! The earth trembled and shook.H6963H7482H1534H1300H215H8398H776H7264H749319Your road led through the sea, your pathway through the mighty waters—a pathway no one knew was there!H1870H3220H7635H7227H4325H6119H304520You led your people along that road like a flock of sheep, with Moses and Aaron as their shepherds.H5148H5971H6629H3027H4872H175
