Psalm 77
Voce mea ad Dominum
The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 20 verses
- 1
I will cry aloud to God; *
I will cry aloud, and he will hear me. - 2
In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; *
my hands were stretched out by night and did not tire; I refused to be comforted. - 3
I think of God, I am restless, *
I ponder, and my spirit faints. - 4
You will not let my eyelids close; *
I am troubled and I cannot speak. - 5
I consider the days of old; *
I remember the years long past; - 6
I commune with my heart in the night; *
I ponder and search my mind. - 7
Will the Lord cast me off for ever? *
will he no more show his favor? - 8
Has his loving-kindness come to an end for ever? *
has his promise failed for evermore? - 9
Has God forgotten to be gracious? *
has he, in his anger, withheld his compassion? - 10
And I said, "My grief is this: *
the right hand of the Most High has lost its power." - 11
I will remember the works of the LORD, *
and call to mind your wonders of old time. - 12
I will meditate on all your acts *
and ponder your mighty deeds. - 13
Your way, O God, is holy; *
who is so great a god as our God? - 14
You are the God who works wonders *
and have declared your power among the peoples. - 15
By your strength you have redeemed your people, *
the children of Jacob and Joseph. - 16
The waters saw you, O God; the waters saw you and trembled; *
the very depths were shaken. - 17
The clouds poured out water; the skies thundered; *
your arrows flashed to and fro; - 18
The sound of your thunder was in the whirlwind; your lightnings lit up the world; *
the earth trembled and shook. - 19
Your way was in the sea, and your paths in the great waters, *
yet your footsteps were not seen. - 20
You led your people like a flock *
by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
