- 0:03Speaker 1: Psalm 77 For the Chief Musician to Jedithon A Psalm
- 0:08Speaker 1: by Asaph My cry goes to God. Indeed, I cry
- 0:12Speaker 1: to God for help and for Him to listen to me.
- 0:15Speaker 1: In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord.
- 0:18Speaker 1: My hand was stretched out in the night and didn't
- 0:20Speaker 1: get tired. My soul refused to be comforted. I remember
- 0:24Speaker 1: God and I groan. I complain and my spirit is overwhelmed.
- 0:28Speaker 1: You hold my eyelids open. I am so troubled that
- 0:31Speaker 1: I can't speak. I have considered the days of old,
- 0:35Speaker 1: the years of ancient times. I remember my song in
- 0:38Speaker 1: the night. I consider in my own heart. My spirit
- 0:41Speaker 1: diligently inquires. Will the Lord reject us forever? Will he
- 0:46Speaker 1: be favorable no more? Has his loving kindness vanished forever?
- 0:50Speaker 1: Does his promise fail for generations? Has God forgotten to
- 0:54Speaker 1: be gracious? Has he in anger withheld his compassion? Then
- 0:58Speaker 1: I thought, I will appeal to this, the years of
- 1:01Speaker 1: the right hand of the Most High. I will remember
- 1:04Speaker 1: Yah's deeds, for I will remember your wonders of old.
- 1:08Speaker 1: I will also meditate on all your work and consider
- 1:11Speaker 1: your doings. Your way, God, is in the sanctuary. What
- 1:15Speaker 1: God is great like God? You are the God who
- 1:18Speaker 1: does wonders. You have made your strength known among the peoples.
- 1:22Speaker 1: You have redeemed your people with your arm, the sons
- 1:25Speaker 1: of Jacob and Joseph. The water saw you, God. The
- 1:29Speaker 1: water saw you, and they writhed. The depths also convulsed.
- 1:33Speaker 1: The clouds poured out water. The skies resounded with thunder.
- 1:36Speaker 1: Your arrows also flashed around. The voice of your thunder
- 1:40Speaker 1: was in the whirlwind. The lightnings lit up the world.
- 1:43Speaker 1: The earth trembled and shook. Your way was through the sea.
- 1:47Speaker 1: Your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known.
- 1:51Speaker 1: You led your people like a flock by the hand
- 1:54Speaker 1: of Moses and Aaron.
