A Psalm and A Prayer
Psalm 77

Psalm 77

Leader: I cry aloud to God that he may hear me. In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord. In the night my hand is stretched out without wearying for help from the Lord.

People: I commune with my heart in the night. I meditate and search my spirit: Has the steadfast love of the Lord ceased forever? Are his promises at an end for all time?

Leader: I will call to mind the deeds of the Lord. I will remember his wonders of old. I will always trust in the Lord.

People: I will meditate on all your work, and muse on your mighty deeds. Your way, O God, is holy and just.

Leader: You are the God who works wonders. You display your might and pour out your love upon your people.

People: With your strong arm you redeem your people.

All glory, laud, and honor belong to You, O God. You reign from on high and Your enemies tremble in Your presence. When I am weak, You are my strength. When I am discouraged, You are my hope. When I am suffering, You are my comfort. When I am ill, You are my Healer. Indeed, O God, You are everything to me. When life’s troubles seem overwhelming, help me to trust in You daily. Help me to remember that You are my Lord and Redeemer, even as I pray in the name of Jesus Christ: “Our Father. . .”
