Psalm 77

Modern English Version

³ I remember God, and I groan;
    I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah
⁴ You hold my eyelids open;
    I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
⁵ I have considered the days of old,
    the years long ago.
⁶ May I remember my song in the night;
    may I meditate in my heart;
    my spirit made a diligent search:

⁷ “Will the Lord cast off forever,
    and will He be favorable no more?
⁸ Has His mercy ceased forever,
    and have His promises failed for all time?
⁹ Has God forgotten to be gracious,
    and has He in anger shut up His tender mercies?” Selah

¹⁰ Then I said, “This is my grief;
    yet I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.”
¹¹ I will remember the works of the Lord;
    surely I will remember Your wonders of old.
¹² I will meditate also on all Your work
    and ponder on Your mighty deeds.

¹³ Your way, O God, is holiness;
    what god is as great as our God?
¹⁴ You are the God who can do wonders;
    You have declared Your strength among the nations.
¹⁵ You have with Your arm redeemed Your people,
    the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

¹⁶ The waters saw You, O God.
    The waters saw You; they were afraid;
    the depths also trembled.
¹⁷ The clouds poured out water;
    the skies thundered.
    Your arrows flashed about.
¹⁸ The sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind,
    and Your lightning lit up the world;
    the earth trembled and shook.
¹⁹ Your way is through the sea,
    and Your path in the great waters,
    and your footsteps are not seen.

²⁰ You led Your people like a flock
    by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
