Psalm 76

Voce mea. The faithful have recourse to God in trouble of mind, with confidence in his mercy and power.

⁠

[1]⁠

Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of Asaph.

[2]⁠

I cried to the Lord with my voice; to God with my voice, and he gave ear to me.

[3]⁠

In the day of my trouble I sought God, with my hands lifted up to him in the night, and I was not deceived. My soul refused to be comforted:

[4]⁠

I remembered God, and was delighted, and was exercised, and my spirit swooned away.

[5]⁠

My eyes prevented the watches: I was troubled, and I spoke not.

⁠

[6]⁠

I thought upon the days of old: and I had in my mind the eternal years.

[7]⁠

And I meditated in the night with my own heart: and I was exercised and I swept my spirit.

[8]⁠

Will God then cast off for ever? or will he never be more favourable again?

[9]⁠

Or will he cut off his mercy for ever, from generation to generation?

[10]⁠

Or will God forget to shew mercy? or will he in his anger shut up his mercies?

⁠

[11]⁠

And I said, Now have I begun: this is the change of the right hand of the most High.

[12]⁠

I remembered the works of the Lord: for I will be mindful of thy wonders from the beginning.

[13]⁠

And I will meditate on all thy works: and will be employed in thy inventions.

[14]⁠

Thy way, O God, is in the holy place: who is the great God like our God?

[15]⁠

Thou art the God that dost wonders. Thou hast made thy power known among the nations:

⁠

[16]⁠

With thy arm thou hast redeemed thy people the children of Jacob and of Joseph.

[17]⁠

The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee: and they were afraid, and the depths were troubled.

[18]⁠

Great was the noise of the waters: the clouds sent out a sound. For thy arrows pass:

[19]⁠

The voice of thy thunder in a wheel. Thy lightnings enlightened the world: the earth shook and trembled.

[20]⁠

Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters: and thy footsteps shall not be known.

⁠

[21]⁠

Thou hast conducted thy people like sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
