Psalms 76:1-12

¹For the end, for Idithun, a Psalm of Asaph.

²I cried to the Lord with my voice, yea, my voice was addressed to God; and he gave heed to me.

³In the day of mine 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.

⁴I remembered God, and rejoiced; I poured out my complaint, and my soul fainted. Pause.

⁵All mine enemies set a watch against me: I was troubled, and spoke not.

⁶I considered the days of old, and remembered ancient years.

⁷And I meditated; I communed with my heart by night, and diligently searched my spirit, saying,

⁸Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be well pleased no more?

⁹Will he cut off his mercy for ever, even for ever and ever?

¹⁰Will God forget to pity? or will he shut up his compassions in his wrath? Pause.

¹¹And I said, Now I have begun; this is the change of the right hand of the Most High.

¹²I remembered the works of the Lord; for I will remember thy wonders from the beginning.
