Psalm 77:1–9

¹For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.

I cried out to God;

I cried aloud to God to hear me.

²In the day of trouble I sought the Lord;

through the night my outstretched hands did not grow weary;

my soul refused to be comforted.

³I remembered You, O God, and I groaned;

I mused and my spirit grew faint.

Selah

⁴You have kept my eyes from closing;

I am too troubled to speak.

⁵I considered the days of old,

the years long in the past.

⁶At night I remembered my song;

in my heart I mused, and my spirit pondered:

⁷“Will the Lord spurn us forever

and never show His favor again?

⁸Is His loving devotion gone forever?

Has His promise failed for all time?

⁹Has God forgotten to be gracious?

Has His anger shut off His compassion?”

Selah
