| Chapter 76 |
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 |
