Psalms 76

¹Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm to Asaph.

²With my voice I have cried to our Lord: with my voice to God and he attended to me.

³In the day of my tribulation I sought God, with my hands in the night before him: and I was not deceived. My soul refused to be comforted,

⁴I was mindful of God and was delighted, and was exercised: and my spirit fainted.

⁵Mine eyes prevented the watches: I was troubled & spake not.

⁶I thought upon old days: and the eternal years I had in mind.

⁷And I meditated in the night with my heart, and I was exercised, and I swept my spirit.

⁸Why, will God reject for ever: or will he not add to be better pleased as yet?

⁹Or will he cut off his mercy for ever, from generation unto generation?

¹⁰Or will God forget to have mercy? Or will he in his wrath keep in his mercies?

¹¹And I said: Now have I begun; this is the change of the right hand of the Highest.

¹²I have been mindful of the works of our Lord: because I will be mindful from the beginning of thy marvelous works.

¹³And I will meditate in all thy works: and in thy inventions I will be exercised.

¹⁴O God in the holy is thy way: what god is great as our God?

¹⁵thou art the God that doest marvelous things. Thou hast made thy power known among peoples:

¹⁶thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the children of Jacob, and Joseph.

¹⁷The waters saw thee, o God, the waters saw thee: and they were afraid, and the depths were troubled.

¹⁸A multitude of the sounding of waters: the clouds gave a voice. For indeed arrows do pass:

¹⁹the voice of thy thunder in a wheel. Thy lightnings shined to the round world: the earth was moved and troubled.

²⁰Thy way in the sea, and thy paths in many waters: and thy steps shall not be known.

²¹Thou hast conducted thy people as sheep: in the hand of Moyses and Aaron.
