Psalms 77 – I Will Remember the Works of the LORD
A troubled night gives way to remembering God's mighty deeds.
This chapter of the Psalms overview opens with Asaph too troubled to speak, his eyes kept waking through the night, a personal struggle set right after the victory scene of Psalms 76.
To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph. I cried to God with my voice, [even] to God with my voice; and he gave ear to me.

\\77:2\\In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.
\\77:3\\I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
\\77:4\\Thou holdest my eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
\\77:5\\I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
\\77:6\\I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with my own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
\\77:7\\Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favorable no more?
\\77:8\\Is his mercy wholly gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?
\\77:9\\Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
\\77:10\\And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.
\\77:11\\I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.
\\77:12\\I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.
\\77:13\\Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God!
\\77:14\\Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.
\\77:15\\Thou hast with thy arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
\\77:16\\The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were disturbed.
\\77:17\\The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thy arrows also went abroad.
\\77:18\\The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
\\77:19\\Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.
\\77:20\\Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
