Psalm 77:2-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
I
2 I cry aloud to God,
I cry to God to hear me.
3 On the day of my distress I seek the Lord;
by night my hands are stretched out unceasingly;(A)
I refuse to be consoled.
4 When I think of God, I groan;

5 You have kept me from closing my eyes in sleep;
I am troubled and cannot speak.
6 I consider the days of old;
the years long past 7 I remember.(C)

10 Has God forgotten how to show mercy,
in anger withheld his compassion?”
Selah
11 [a]I conclude: “My sorrow is this,
the right hand of the Most High has abandoned us.”(E)

My heart meditated and my spirit asked:
