Psalm 76 — The Holy Bible

For the End, concerning Idithun; a psalm for Asaph.

With my voice I cried to the Lord,

With my voice to God, and He gave heed to me.

In the day of my affliction I sought out God

With my hands before Him by night,

And I was not deceived;

My soul refused to be comforted.

I remembered God and was glad;

I complained, and my spirit became discouraged.

(Pause)

I stayed awake through all the watches of the night;

I was troubled and did not speak.

I thought of the days of old,

And I remembered the eternal years; and I meditated.

By night I communed with my heart,

And my spirit searched.

Will the Lord cast me off unto the ages?

And will He be favorable no more?

Or will He cut off His mercy completely,

From generation to generation?

Or will God forget to be merciful?

Or will He in His wrath withhold His mercies?

(Pause)

I said, “Now I am beginning to see;

This change is by the right hand of the Most High.”

I remembered the Lord's works,

For I will remember Your wonders of old,

And I will meditate on all Your works;

And I will consider Your ways.

O God, Your way is in the holy place;

Who is so great a God as our God?

You are the God who does wonders;

You made known Your power among the peoples;

You redeemed Your people with Your arm,

The sons of Jacob and Joseph.

(Pause)

The waters saw You, O God;

The waters saw You and were afraid,

And the depths were troubled,

A multitude like the sound of waters.

The clouds uttered their voice,

For Your arrows passed through them;

The voice of Your thunder was in the wheel;

Your lightning gave light to the world;

It was shaken, and the earth was made to tremble.

Your way is in the sea,

And Your paths are in many waters;

And Your footsteps shall not be known.

You led Your people as sheep

By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
