Psalm 77

¶ The Prophet in the name of the Church rehearſeth the greatnes of his affliction, and his grieuous tentations, 6 Whereby he was driuen to this end to conſider his former conuerſation, 11 And the continual courſe of Gods workes in the preſeruation of his ſeruants, & ſo he confirmeth his faith againſt theſe tentations.
¶ For the excellent muſician Ieduthún. A Pſalme committed to Aſáph.
1.MY voyce came to God, when I cryed: my voyce came to God, and he heard me.
2.In the day of my trouble I ſoght ye Lord: my ſore ranne & ceaſed not in the night: my ſoule refuſed comfort.
3.I did thinke vpon God, and was troubled: I prayed, and my ſpirit was ful of anguiſh. Sélah.
4.Thou kepeſt mine eies waking: I was aſtonied and colde not ſpeake.
5.Then I conſidered the daies of olde, and the yeres of ancient time.
6.I called to remembrance my ſong in the night: I cõmuned with mine owne heart, and my ſpirit ſearched diligently.
7.Wil the Lord abſent him ſelf for euer: & wil he ſhewe no more fauour?
8.Is his mercie cleane gone for euer? doeth his promes faile for euer more?
9.Hathe God forgotten to be merciful? hathe he ſhutvp his tẽder mercies in diſpleaſure? Sélah.
10.And I ſaid, This is my death: yet I remẽbred the yeres of the right hãd of the moſt High.
11.I remembred the workes of the Lord: certeinly I remembred thy wonders of olde.
12.I did alſo meditate all thy workes, & did deuiſe of thine Actes, ſaying,
13.Thy waie, ô 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 power among the people.
15.Thou haſt redemed thy people wt thine arme, euen the ſonnes of Iaakób and Ioſéph. Sélah.
16.The waters ſawe thee, ô God: the waters ſawe thee, and were afraied: yea, the depths trembled.
17.The cloudes powred out water: the heauens gaue a ſounde: yea, thine arrowes went abroad.
18.The voice of thy thundre was round about: the lightenĩgs lightened the worlde: the earth trembled and ſhoke.
19.Thy waie is in the Sea, and thy paths in the great waters, and thy foteſteps are not knowen.
20.Thou dideſt leade thy people like ſhepe by the hand of Moſés and Aarón.
