Psalm 77

Voce mea ad Dominum

The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 20 verses

  1. 1

    I will cry aloud to God; *
    I will cry aloud, and he will hear me.

  2. 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. 3

    I think of God, I am restless, *
    I ponder, and my spirit faints.

  4. 4

    You will not let my eyelids close; *
    I am troubled and I cannot speak.

  5. 5

    I consider the days of old; *
    I remember the years long past;

  6. 6

    I commune with my heart in the night; *
    I ponder and search my mind.

  7. 7

    Will the Lord cast me off for ever? *
    will he no more show his favor?

  8. 8

    Has his loving-kindness come to an end for ever? *
    has his promise failed for evermore?

  9. 9

    Has God forgotten to be gracious? *
    has he, in his anger, withheld his compassion?

  10. 10

    And I said, "My grief is this: *
    the right hand of the Most High has lost its power."

  11. 11

    I will remember the works of the LORD, *
    and call to mind your wonders of old time.

  12. 12

    I will meditate on all your acts *
    and ponder your mighty deeds.

  13. 13

    Your way, O God, is holy; *
    who is so great a god as our God?

  14. 14

    You are the God who works wonders *
    and have declared your power among the peoples.

  15. 15

    By your strength you have redeemed your people, *
    the children of Jacob and Joseph.

  16. 16

    The waters saw you, O God; the waters saw you and trembled; *
    the very depths were shaken.

  17. 17

    The clouds poured out water; the skies thundered; *
    your arrows flashed to and fro;

  18. 18

    The sound of your thunder was in the whirlwind; your lightnings lit up the world; *
    the earth trembled and shook.

  19. 19

    Your way was in the sea, and your paths in the great waters, *
    yet your footsteps were not seen.

  20. 20

    You led your people like a flock *
    by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
