Psalm 77. Voce mea ad Dominum.

1. I will cry aloud to God; *
   I will cry aloud, and he will hear me.
2. In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; *
   my hands were stretched out by night and did not tire; I refused to be comforted.
3. I think of God, I am restless, *
   I ponder, and my spirit faints.
4. You will not let my eyelids close; *
   I am troubled and I cannot speak.
5. I consider the days of old; *
   I remember the years long past;
6. I commune with my heart in the night; *
   I ponder and search my mind.
7. Will the Lord cast me off for ever? *
   will he no more show his favor?
8. Has his loving-kindness come to an end for ever? *
   has his promise failed for evermore?
9. Has God forgotten to be gracious? *
   has he, in his anger, withheld his compassion?
10. And I said, "My grief is this: *
    the right hand of the Most High has lost its power."
11. I will remember the works of the Lord, *
    and call to mind your wonders of old time.
12. I will meditate on all your acts *
    and ponder your mighty deeds.
13. Your way, O God, is holy; *
    who is so great a god as our God?
14. You are the God who works wonders *
    and have declared your power among the peoples.
15. By your strength you have redeemed your people, *
    the children of Jacob and Joseph.
16. The waters saw you, O God; the waters saw you and trembled; *
    the very depths were shaken.
17. The clouds poured out water; the skies thundered; *
    your arrows flashed to and fro;
18. The sound of your thunder was in the whirlwind; your lightnings lit up the world; *
    the earth trembled and shook.
19. Your way was in the sea, and your paths in the great waters, *
    yet your footsteps were not seen.
20. You led your people like a flock *
    by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
