Psalm 77:2 Context

◄ Psalm 77:2 ►

In the day of trouble I sought the Lord; through the night my outstretched hands did not grow weary; my soul refused to be comforted.

Context

2In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord;
In the night my hand was stretched out without weariness;
My soul refused to be comforted.

3When I remember God, then I am disturbed;
When I sigh, then my spirit grows faint.

Selah.

4You have held my eyelids open;
I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

5I have considered the days of old,
The years of long ago.

6I will remember my song in the night;
I will meditate with my heart,
And my spirit ponders:

7Will the Lord reject forever?
And will He never be favorable again?

8Has His lovingkindness ceased forever?
Has His promise come to an end forever?

9Has God forgotten to be gracious,
Or has He in anger withdrawn His compassion?

Selah.

10Then I said, “It is my grief,
That the right hand of the Most High has changed.”

11I shall remember the deeds of the LORD;
Surely I will remember Your wonders of old.

12I will meditate on all Your work
And muse on Your deeds.

13Your way, O God, is holy;
What god is great like our God?

14You are the God who works wonders;
You have made known Your strength among the peoples.

15You have by Your power redeemed Your people,
The sons of Jacob and Joseph.

Selah.

16The waters saw You, O God;
The waters saw You, they were in anguish;
The deeps also trembled.

17The clouds poured out water;
The skies gave forth a sound;
Your arrows flashed here and there.

18The sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind;
The lightnings lit up the world;
The earth trembled and shook.

19Your way was in the sea
And Your paths in the mighty waters,
And Your footprints may not be known.

20You led Your people like a flock
By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
