Psalms 77:5-20

⁵I thought about the days of old, about times long past.

⁶During the night I called to mind the song I once sang. I thought carefully and tried to understand what had happened.

⁷Will the Lord reject me forever? Will he never again show me favor?

⁸Was his covenant faithfulness gone forever? Had his promise failed forever?

⁹Had God forgotten to be gracious? Had his anger shut off his compassion? Selah

¹⁰I said, “This is my sorrow: the changing of the right hand of the Most High toward us.”

¹¹But I will call to mind your deeds, Yahweh; I will think about your wonderful deeds of old.

¹²I will ponder all your deeds and will reflect on them.

¹³Your way, God, is holy; what god compares to our great God?

¹⁴You are the God who does wonders; you have revealed your strength among the peoples.

¹⁵You gave your people victory by your great power— the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

¹⁶The waters saw you, God; the waters saw you, and they were afraid; the depths trembled.

¹⁷The clouds poured down water; the cloudy skies gave voice; your arrows flew about.

¹⁸Your thunderous voice was heard in the wind; the lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and shook.

¹⁹Your path went through the sea and your way through the surging waters, but your footprints were not seen.

²⁰You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
