PSAL. LXXVII. This may be sung also as the 8. Psalm.

[verse 2] 〈♫〉〈♫〉 MY voice to God was and I loud-cried: 〈♫〉〈♫〉my voice to God, and he gave-ear to mee. [verse 3] 〈♫〉〈♫〉 I sought the Lord, in day of my mis'rie; 〈♫〉〈♫〉my hand by night retcht-out and not ceased: 〈♫〉〈♫〉my soul refused comforted to bee.

[verse 4] I minded God and made tumultuous-cries: and I with meditation-did pray: and overwhelm'd my spirit was, Selah. [verse 5] Thou heldest fast the watches of mine eyes: I was amazed, and could nothing say.

[verse 6] Dayes of antiquitie I thought upon: the yeers of ancient-eternitie. [verse 7] I minded in the night my melodie: I with my heart had meditation; my spirit also searched-diligently.

[verse 8] Ah will the Lord forever cast-away: and add no more, to accept favourably? [verse 9] Is his mercy ceased perpetually? is his word ended, to each age for aye? [verse 10] Hath God forgott for to deal-graciously?

Hath he in wrath his mercies shutt, Selah?

[verse 11] And is this it that makes me sick, sayd I: the change, of the right hand of the most-high? [verse 12] I will record the actions of Jah: will sure thy marvels mind from anciencie.

[verse 13] Of all thy work I will eke meditate; and of thy practises discourse will I. [verse 14] O God, thy way is in the sanctuary: Who is, as God, so great a Potentate? [verse 15] Thou art the God, that workest wondrously:

Thou mad'st thy strength, 'mong peoples known to be: [verse 16] Thou didst with arm thy folk redeem-away: the sonns of Ia'kob, and Joseph, Selah. [verse 17] O God, the waters did thee see; thee see the waters did tremble-with-pain did they:

Also the deeps tumult'ous stirred were. [verse 18] Clouds, streamed waters, skies, a voice gave-out: thine arrowes also, they did walk-about. [verse 19] Uoice of thy thunder, was in th'aery-sphere; lightnings the World illumined throughout:

The earth, was stirr'd and tremblingly-quaked. [verse 20] In sea thy way, in waters mighty-flown, thy path was and thy footsteps were not known. [verse 21] Thy people like a flock thou forth didst lead: by hand of Moses and of Aharon.
