1For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by Asaph. My cry goes to God! Indeed, I cry to God for help, and for him to listen to me. ✦ 2In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord. My hand was stretched out in the night, and didn’t get tired. My soul refused to be comforted. ✦ 3I remember God, and I groan. I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah. ✦ 4You hold my eyelids open. I am so troubled that I can’t speak. ✦ 5I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times. ✦ 6I remember my song in the night. I consider in my own heart; my spirit diligently inquires: ✦ 7“Will the Lord reject us forever? Will he be favorable no more? ✦ 8Has his loving kindness vanished forever? Does his promise fail for generations? ✦ 9Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he, in anger, withheld his compassion?” Selah. ✦ 10Then I thought, “I will appeal to this: the years of the right hand of the Most High.” ✦ 11I will remember Yah’s deeds; for I will remember your wonders of old. ✦ 12I will also meditate on all your work, and consider your doings. ✦ 13Your way, God, is in the sanctuary. What god is great like God? ✦ 14You are the God who does wonders. You have made your strength known among the peoples. ✦ 15You have redeemed your people with your arm, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. ✦ 16The waters saw you, God. The waters saw you, and they writhed. The depths also convulsed. ✦ 17The clouds poured out water. The skies resounded with thunder. Your arrows also flashed around. ✦ 18The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind. The lightnings lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook. ✦ 19Your way was through the sea; your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known. ✦ 20You led your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron. ✦

Christ at the center

The Psalms are Christ's own prayer book and a gallery of his portraits — the suffering one of Psalm 22, the risen Lord of Psalm 16, the priest-king of Psalm 110, the Son to whom the nations are given.

How Psalms 77 points to him is part of the one story that runs through all Scripture — meet Jesus at the heart of the web, or follow a trail that traces him from Genesis to Revelation.
