Remembering God’s Help

For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A song of Asaph.

77 I cry out loud to God.
    I call to God, and he will hear me.
I looked for the Lord on the day of trouble.
    All night long I reached out my hands.
    I cannot be comforted.
When I remember God, I become upset.
    When I think, I become afraid. Selah

I cried out to God(A) for help;

When I was in distress,(B) I sought the Lord;
    at night(C) I stretched out untiring hands,(D)
    and I would not be comforted.(E)

I remembered(F) you, God, and I groaned;(G)
    I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.[b](H)
