Psalm 77
I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me. In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted. I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah. Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak. I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times. I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search. Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more? Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore? Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah. And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High. I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God? Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people. Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled. The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad. The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook. Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known. Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.-Psalm 77:1-20/the complete psalm***David was an Israelite from the tribe of Judah, descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob (Israel) and Leah, and Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah. When David was a child, the Lord God sent Samuel the priest, prophet and judge to anoint David to reign as king over the Israelites in the Promised Land. When David was 30 years old, he began to reign only over the tribe of Judah. When David was 37 1/2 years old, he became the 2nd king to reign over all of the Israelites in the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants. Moreover, David was a shepherd, musician, warrior, and psalmist. Before David actually reigned as king, David and those loyal to him were living in Ziklag, the Philistine city that was given to David by Philistine King Achish. While living in Ziklag for over 1 year, David and his men raided the Geshurites, Gezrites and Amalekites. The Amalekites later raided Ziklag when David and his men were supposedly trying to march with Achish and the Philistines towards a battle against the Israelites. The Amalekites burned Ziklag and captured all of the children, animals, goods, and women, including David's wives Abigail and Ahinoam. David's men were distraught and wanted to stone David. David was distraught. David strengthened himself in the Lord God, and sought help and assurance from the Lord God. Immediately thereafter, David and his men rescued everyone and took back everything. Asaph, a psalmist and musician from the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son Levi, encouraged himself in the Lord God after going through a period of distress and questions. Asaph is widely regarded to be the divinely inspired writer of Psalm 77 in the Holy Bible. David appointed Asaph to serve at the specially erected tent wherein the ark of the covenant of the Lord was placed after David and everyone with him, including Asaph, brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord to the City of David. Over 900 years after Asaph and his sons served at the temple of the Lord that was built by David's son and successor King Solomon, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, Judges 1:1-2:23, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings 1:1-11:43, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-55, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 9:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles 1:1-9:31, Psalm 50, Psalms 73, Psalm 74, Psalm 75, Psalm 76, Psalm 77, Psalm 78, Psalm 79, Psalm 80, Psalm 81, Psalm 82, Psalm 83, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26Reference Information:
