1 I *See Ps. 3:4cry aloud to God,

aloud to God, and he will hear me.

2 *Ps. 86:7;[Ps. 20:1;50:15;Isa. 26:16] In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord;

in *Ps. 63:6;Isa. 26:9the night my *[Ps. 143:6] hand is stretched out without wearying;

my soul *Gen. 37:35refuses to be comforted.

3 When I remember God, I *Ps. 42:5,11;43:5moan;

when I meditate, my spirit faints. Selah

4 You hold my eyelids open;

I am so *[Gen. 41:8]troubled that I cannot speak.

5 I consider *ver. 10, 11;Ps. 44:1;143:5;Deut. 32:7;Isa. 51:9the days of old,

the years long ago.

6 I said,*77:6 Hebrew lacks I said "Let me remember my *See Ps. 42:8song in the night;

let me *Ps. 4:4meditate in my heart."

Then my spirit made a diligent search:

7 "Will the Lord *See Ps. 44:9spurn forever,

and never again *Ps. 85:1be favorable?

8 Has his steadfast love forever ceased?

Are his *[Rom. 9:6]promises at an end for all time?

9 *[Isa. 49:15] Has God forgotten to be gracious?

*[Hab. 3:2]Has he in anger shut up his compassion?" Selah

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

to the years of the *[Ps. 118:15]right hand of the Most High."*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 *ver. 5;Ps. 105:5remember your wonders of old.

12 I will ponder all your *Ps. 90:16work,

and meditate on your *Ps. 9:11mighty deeds.

13 Your way, O God, is *Ps. 73:17holy.

*See Ps. 35:10What god is great like our God?

14 You are the God who *See Ps. 72:18works wonders;

you have *Ps. 106:8made known your might among the peoples.

15 You *[Ps. 74:2;Ex. 6:6;Deut. 9:29]with your arm redeemed your people,

the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

16 When *Ps. 114:3;Ex. 14:21;Josh. 3:15,16;Hab. 3:10the 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 *[Ps. 68:33] gave forth thunder;

your *See Ps. 18:14arrows flashed on every side.

18 *Ps. 104:7The crash of your thunder was in the whirlwind;

*Ps. 97:4your lightnings lighted up the world;

the earth *See Ps. 18:7trembled and shook.

19 Your *Hab. 3:15way was through the sea,

your path through the great waters;

yet your footprints *See Ps. 36:6were unseen.*77:19 Hebrew unknown

20 You *Ps. 78:52,53;80:1;Ex. 13:21;14:19;Isa. 63:11,12led your people like a flock

by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
