Psalms 76 — LXXSB

(77) For the end, for Idithun, a Psalm of Asaph.

76Verse 1I cried to the Lord with my voice, yes, my voice was addressed to God; and he gave heed to me.
^{Verse 2}In the day of my affliction I earnestly sought the Lord; even with my hands by night before him, and I was not deceived; my soul refused to be comforted.
^{Verse 3}I remembered God, and rejoiced; I poured out my complaint, and my soul fainted. Pause.
^{Verse 4}All my enemies set a watch against me: I was troubled, and spoke not.
^{Verse 5}I considered the days of old, and remembered ancient years.
^{Verse 6}And I meditated; I communed with my heart by night, and diligently searched my spirit, saying,
^{Verse 7}Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be well pleased no more?
^{Verse 8}Will he cut off his mercy for ever, even for ever and ever?
^{Verse 9}Will God forget to pity? or will he shut up his compassions in his wrath? Pause.
^{Verse 10}And I said, Now I have begun; this is the change of the right hand of the Most High.
^{Verse 11}I remembered the works of the Lord; for I will remember your wonders from the beginning.
^{Verse 12}And I will meditate on all your works, and will consider your doings.
^{Verse 13}O God, your way is in the sanctuary; who is a great God as our God?
^{Verse 14}You are the God that do wonders; you have made known your power amongst the nations.
^{Verse 15}You have with your arm redeemed your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Pause.
^{Verse 16}The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you, and feared; and the depths were troubled.
^{Verse 17}There was an abundant sound of waters: the clouds uttered a voice; for your arrows went abroad.
^{Verse 18}The voice of your thunder was abroad, and around your lightnings appeared to the world; the earth trembled a quaked.
^{Verse 19}Your way is in the sea, and your paths in many waters, and your footsteps can’t be known.
^{Verse 20}You did guide your people as sheep by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
