PSAL. LXXVII.

[1]

Vnto the Lord I with my voice,

I unto God did cry
Ev'n with my voice, and unto me
his ear he did apply.

2

I in my trouble sought the Lord:

my sore by night did run,
And ceased not: my grieved soul
did consolation shun.

3

I to remembrance God did cal,

yet trouble did remain;
And overwhelm my spirit was
whiles I did sore complain.

4

Mine eyes debar'd from rest & sleep

thou makest stil to wake:
My trouble is so great, that I
unable am to speak.

5

The dayes of old to minde I call'd,

and oft did think upon
The times and ages, that are past
ful many years agone.

6

By night my song I cal to minde,

and commune with my heart,
My sp'rit did carefully inquire
how I might ease my smart.

7

For ever wil the Lord cast off?

and gracious be no more?

8

For ever is his mercy gone?

fails his word evermore?

9

Is't true that to be gracious

the Lord forgotten hath?
And that his tender mercies he
hath shut up in his wrath?

10

Then did I say, that surely this

is mine infirmitie:
I'le minde the years of the righthand
of him that is most hie.

11

Yea, I remember wil the works

performed by the Lord;
The wonders done of old by thee
I surely wil record.

12

I also wil of all thy works

my meditation make,
And of thy doings to discourse
great pleasure I wil take.

13

O God, thy way most holy is

within thy Sanctuary:
And what God is so great in pow'r,
as is our God most hie?

14

Thou art the God that wonders do'st

by thy right hand most strong;
Thy mighty pow'r thou hast declar'd
the nations among.

15

To thine own people wth thine arm

thou didst redemption bring;
To Jacobs sons, and to the Tribes
of Joseph that do spring.

16

The waters, Lord, perceived thee,

the waters saw thee wel;
And they for fear aside did flie;
the depths on trembling fel.

17

The clouds in water forth were pour'd,

sound loudy did the sky;
And swiftly through the world abroad
thine arrows fierce did fly.

18

Thy thunders voice alongst the heav'n

a mighty noise did make:
By lightnings lightned was the world
th'earth tremble did and shake.

19

Thy Way is in the sea, and in

the waters great thy path;
Yet are thy footsteps hid, O Lord,
none knowledge thereof hath.

20

Thy people thou didst safely lead

like to a flock of sheep,
By Moses hand and Aarons Thou
didst them conduct and keep.
