Read the chapter

1My voice rises to God, and I will cry aloud; My voice rises to God, and He will listen to me. ✦ 2In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; In the night my hand was stretched out and did not grow weary; My soul refused to be comforted. ✦ 3When I remember God, then I am restless; When I sigh, then my spirit feels weak. Selah ✦ 4You have held my eyelids open; I am so troubled that I cannot speak. ✦ 5I have considered the days of old, The years of long ago. ✦ 6I will remember my song in the night; I will meditate with my heart, And my spirit ponders: ✦ 7¶Will the Lord reject forever? And will He never be favorable again? ✦ 8Has His favor ceased forever? Has His promise come to an end forever? ✦ 9Has God forgotten to be gracious, Or has He in anger withdrawn His compassion? Selah ✦ 10Then I said, “It is my grief, That the right hand of the Most High has changed.” ✦ 11¶I shall remember the deeds of the Lord; I will certainly remember Your wonders of old. ✦ 12I will meditate on all Your work, And on Your deeds with thanksgiving. ✦ 13Your way, God, is holy; What god is great like our God? ✦ 14You are the God who works wonders; You have made known Your strength among the peoples. ✦ 15By Your power You have redeemed Your people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah ✦ 16¶The waters saw You, God; The waters saw You, they were in anguish; The ocean depths also trembled. ✦ 17The clouds poured out water; The skies sounded out; Your arrows flashed here and there. ✦ 18The sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightning lit up the world; The earth trembled and shook. ✦ 19Your way was in the sea And Your paths in the mighty waters, And Your footprints 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.
