I cry aloud to God,

    aloud to God, and he will hear me.

2 In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord;

    in the night my hand is stretched out without wearying;

    my soul refuses to be comforted.

3 When I remember God, I moan;

    when I meditate, my spirit faints. Selah

4 You hold my eyelids open;

    I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

5 I consider the days of old,

    the years long ago.

6 I said,[a] “Let me remember my song in the night;

    let me meditate in my heart.”

    Then my spirit made a diligent search:

7 “Will the Lord spurn forever,

    and never again be favorable?

8 Has his steadfast love forever ceased?

    Are his promises at an end for all time?

9 Has God forgotten to be gracious?

    Has he in anger shut up his compassion?” Selah

10 Then I said, “I will appeal to this,

    to the years of the right hand of the Most High.”[b]

11 I will remember the deeds of the Lord;

    yes, I will remember your wonders of old.

12 I will ponder all your work,

    and meditate on your mighty deeds.

13 Your way, O God, is holy.

    What god is great like our God?

14 You are the God who works wonders;

    you have made known your might among the peoples.

15 You with your arm redeemed your people,

    the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

16 When the waters saw you, O God,

    when the waters saw you, they were afraid;

    indeed, the deep trembled.

17 The clouds poured out water;

    the skies gave forth thunder;

    your arrows flashed on every side.

18 The crash of your thunder was in the whirlwind;

    your lightnings lighted up the world;

    the earth trembled and shook.

19 Your way was through the sea,

    your path through the great waters;

    yet your footprints were unseen.[c]

20 You led your people like a flock

    by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Psalm 77
