Psalms 77 — Context

I was crying to God with my voice; even to God with my voice, and he gave ear to me.

In the day of my trouble, my heart was turned to the Lord: my hand was stretched out in the night without resting; my soul would not be comforted.

I will keep God in memory, with sounds of grief; my thoughts are troubled, and my spirit is overcome. (Selah.)

You keep my eyes from sleep; I am so troubled that no words come.

My thoughts go back to the days of the past, to the years which are gone.

The memory of my song comes back to me in the night; my thoughts are moving in my heart; my spirit is searching with care.

Will the Lord put me away for ever? will he be kind no longer?
