LXXVII P S A L. LXXVII.

1 The Psalmist sheweth what fierce combate hee had with diffidence. 10 The victory which he had by consideration of Gods great and gratious workes.

¶ To the chiefe musician, to Ieduthun, a Psalme of Asaph.

1 ¶ I cryed vnto God with my voice: euen vnto God with my voice, and he gaue eare vnto me.

2 [fn]In the day of my trouble, I sought the LORD; my sore ranne in the night, and ceased not: my soule refused to be comforted.

3 I remembred God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was ouerwhelmed. Selah.

4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speake.

5 I haue considered the dayes of old, the yeeres of auncient times.

6 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine owne heart, and my spirit made diligent search.

7 Will the LORD cast off for euer? and will hee be fauourable no more?

8 [fn]Is his mercy cleane gone for euer? doth his promise faile for euermore?

9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut vp his tender mercies? Selah.

10 And I sayd, This is my infirmitie: but I will remember the yeeres of the right hand of the most high.

11 I will remember the workes of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.

12 I will meditate also of all thy worke, and talke of thy doings.

13 Thy way, O God, is in the Sanctuarie: who is so great a God, as our God?

14 Thou art the God that doest wonders; thou hast declared thy strength among the people.

15 Thou hast with thine arme redeemed thy people, the sonnes of Iacob and Ioseph. Selah.

16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee: they were afraid; the depths also were troubled.

17 [fn]The cloudes powred out water, the skies sent out a sound; thine arrowes also went abroad.

18 The voice of thy thunder was in the heauen: the lightnings lightned the world, the earth trembled and shooke.

19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters: and thy foot-steps are not knowen.

20 [ref]Thou leddest thy people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
