In the Day of Trouble I Seek the Lord

To the choirmaster: according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.

1  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, ^{1 77:6 Hebrew lacks I said} “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.” ^{2 77:10 Or This is my grief: that the right hand of the Most High has changed}

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. ^{3 77:19 Hebrew unknown}
20  You led your people like a flock
    by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
