In the Day of Trouble I Seek the Lord
77To the choirmaster: according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. I cry aloud to God, aloud to God, and he will hear me.
2
In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord; in the night my hand is stretched out without wearying; my soul refuses to be comforted.
3
When I remember God, I moan; when I meditate, my spirit faints. Selah
4
You hold my eyelids open; I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5
I consider the days of old, the years long ago.
6
I said, “Let me remember my song in the night; let me meditate in my heart.” Then my spirit made a diligent search:
7
“Will the Lord spurn forever, and never again be favorable?
8
Has his steadfast love forever ceased? Are his promises at an end for all time?
9
Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he in anger shut up his compassion?” Selah
10
Then I said, “I will appeal to this, to the years of the right hand of the Most High.”
11
I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your wonders of old.
12
I will ponder all your work, and meditate on your mighty deeds.
13
Your way, O God, is holy. What god is great like our God?
14
You are the God who works wonders; you have made known your might among the peoples.
15
You with your arm redeemed your people, the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
16
When the waters saw you, O God, when the waters saw you, they were afraid; indeed, the deep trembled.
17
The clouds poured out water; the skies gave forth thunder; your arrows flashed on every side.
18
The crash of your thunder was in the whirlwind; your lightnings lighted up the world; the earth trembled and shook.
19
Your way was through the sea, your path through the great waters; yet your footprints were unseen.
20
You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
