Psalm 77:3-13
New International Version
3 I remembered(A) you, God, and I groaned;(B)
I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.[a](C)
4 You kept my eyes from closing;
I was too troubled to speak.(D)
5 I thought about the former days,(E)
the years of long ago;
6 I remembered my songs in the night.
My heart meditated and my spirit asked:
7 “Will the Lord reject forever?(F)
Will he never show his favor(G) again?
8 Has his unfailing love(H) vanished forever?
Has his promise(I) failed for all time?
9 Has God forgotten to be merciful?(J)
Has he in anger withheld his compassion?(K)”
10 Then I thought, “To this I will appeal:
the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand.(L)
11 I will remember the deeds of the Lord;
yes, I will remember your miracles(M) of long ago.
12 I will consider(N) all your works
and meditate on all your mighty deeds.”(O)
13 Your ways, God, are holy.
What god is as great as our God?(P)

Psalm 77:3-13
King James Version
3 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
6 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?
8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?
9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
10 And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.
11 I will remember the works of the Lord: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.
12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.
13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
