1I cry aloud to God,
aloud to God, and he will hear me.77:1 Ps 3:4; 142:1
2I sought the Lord in my day of trouble.
My hands were continually lifted up
all night long;
I refused to be comforted.77:2 Gn 37:35; Jb 11:13; Jr 31:15
3I think of God; I groan;
I meditate; my spirit becomes weak.77:3 Ps 42:5,11; 43:5; 55:17; 143:4Selah

4You have kept me from closing my eyes;
I am troubled and cannot speak.77:4 Ps 39:9
5I consider days of old,
years long past.77:5 Dt 32:7; Ps 143:5
6At night I remember my music;
I meditate in my heart, and my spirit ponders.77:6 Ps 4:4; 42:8

7“Will the Lord reject forever
and never again show favor?77:7 Ps 44:9,23; 74:1; Lm 2:7; 3:31
8Has his faithful love ceased forever?
Is his promise at an end for all generations?77:8 Ps 33:11; 85:5; 89:49
9Has God forgotten to be gracious?
Has he in anger withheld his compassion?” 77:9 Ps 25:6; 40:11; Is 49:15Selah

10So I say, “I am grieved
that the right hand of the Most High has changed.”77:10 Hb obscure77:10 Ps 31:22; 73:14
11I will remember the Lord’s works;
yes, I will remember your ancient wonders.77:11 Ps 105:5; 143:5
12I will reflect on all you have done
and meditate on your actions.77:12 Ps 9:11; 90:16; 145:5

13God, your way is holy.
What god is great like God?77:13 Ex 15:11; Ps 71:19; 86:8
14You are the God who works wonders;
you revealed your strength among the peoples.77:14 Ps 72:18; 106:8
15With power you redeemed your people,
the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.77:15 Ex 6:6; Dt 9:29; Ps 74:2Selah

16The water saw you, God.
The water saw you; it trembled.
Even the depths shook.77:16 Ps 114:3; Hab 3:8,10
17The clouds poured down water.
The storm clouds thundered;
your arrows flashed back and forth.77:17 Ps 18:14; Hab 3:11; Zch 9:14
18The sound of your thunder was in the whirlwind;
lightning lit up the world.77:16–18 Ps 29:3,9; 97:4
The earth shook and quaked.77:18 2Sm 22:8; Ps 18:7; Is 13:13
19Your way went through the sea
and your path through the vast water,
but your footprints were unseen.77:19 Is 43:16
20You led your people like a flock77:20 Ps 78:52; 80:1
by the hand of Moses and Aaron.77:20 Ps 105:26; Is 63:11–13
