Psalm 77

(from Day 15 Morning Prayer)

Voce mea ad Dominum

1. I WILL cry unto God with my voice : even unto God will I cry with my voice, and he shall hearken unto me.
2. In the time of my trouble I sought the Lord : my sore ran and ceased not in the night-season ; my soul refused comfort.
3. When I am in heaviness, I will think upon God : when my heart is vexed, I will complain.
4. Thou holdest mine eyes waking : I am so feeble, that I cannot speak.
5. I have considered the days of old : and the years that are past.
6. I call to remembrance my song : and in the night I commune with mine own heart, and search out my spirits.
7. Will the Lord absent himself for ever : and will he be no more intreated?
8. Is his mercy clean gone for ever : and is his promise come utterly to an end for evermore?
9. Hath God forgotten to be gracious : and will he shut up his loving-kindness in displeasure?
10. And I said, It is mine own infirmity : but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most Highest.
11. I will remember the works of the Lord : and call to mind thy wonders of old time.
12. I will think also of all thy works : and my talking shall be of thy doings.
13. Thy way, O God, is holy : who is so great a God as our God?
14. Thou art the God that doeth wonders : and hast declared thy power among the people.
15. Thou hast mightily delivered thy people : even the sons of Jacob and Joseph.
16. The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee, and were afraid : the depths also were troubled.
17. The clouds poured out water, the air thundered : and thine arrows went abroad.
18. The voice of thy thunder was heard round about : the lightnings shone upon the ground : the earth was moved, and shook withal.
19. Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in the great waters : and thy footsteps are not known.
20. Thou leddest thy people like sheep : by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
