Psalms 76:1-12

¹(77) For the end, for Idithun, a Psalm of Asaph. I cried to the Lord with my voice, yes, my voice was addressed to God; and he gave heed to me.

²In 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.

³I remembered God, and rejoiced; I poured out my complaint, and my soul fainted. Pause.

⁴All my enemies set a watch against me: I was troubled, and spoke not.

⁵I considered the days of old, and remembered ancient years.

⁶And I meditated; I communed with my heart by night, and diligently searched my spirit, saying,

⁷Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be well pleased no more?

⁸Will he cut off his mercy for ever, even for ever and ever?

⁹Will God forget to pity? or will he shut up his compassions in his wrath? Pause.

¹⁰And I said, Now I have begun; this is the change of the right hand of the Most High.

¹¹I remembered the works of the Lord; for I will remember your wonders from the beginning.

¹²And I will meditate on all your works, and will consider your doings.
