Psalms 76
1I cried to the Lord with my voice, yes, my voice was addressed to God; and he gave heed to me. 1
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. 1
3I remembered God, and rejoiced; I poured out my complaint, and my soul fainted. Pause. 1
4All my enemies set a watch against me: I was troubled, and spoke not. 1
5I considered the days of old, and remembered ancient years. 1
6And I meditated; I communed with my heart by night, and diligently searched my spirit, saying, 1
7Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be well pleased no more? 1
8Will he cut off his mercy for ever, even for ever and ever? 1
9Will God forget to pity? or will he shut up his compassions in his wrath? Pause. 1
10And I said, Now I have begun; this is the change of the right hand of the Most High. 1
11I remembered the works of the Lord; for I will remember your wonders from the beginning. 1
12And I will meditate on all your works, and will consider your doings. 1
13O God, your way is in the sanctuary; who is a great God as our God? 1
14You are the God that do wonders; you have made known your power among the nations. 1
15You have with your arm redeemed your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Pause. 1
16The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you, and feared; and the depths were troubled. 1
17There was an abundant sound of waters: the clouds uttered a voice; for your arrows went abroad. 1
18The voice of your thunder was abroad, and around your lightnings appeared to the world; the earth trembled a quaked. 1
19Your way is in the sea, and your paths in many waters, and your footsteps can’t be known. 1
20You did guide your people as sheep by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
