In My Distress I Sought the Lord - Psalm 77-79

In My Distress I Sought the Lord

[1] For the choir director. According to Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A Psalm. 

My voice [rises] to God, and I must cry aloud; 

My voice [rises] to God, and He will hear me. 

[2] In the day of my distress I sought the Lord; 

In the night my hand was stretched out without weariness; 

My soul refused to be comforted. 

[Psa 77:1-2 LSB]

That the Generation to Come Might Know

[5] For He established a testimony in Jacob And set a law in Israel, Which He commanded our fathers That they should teach them to their children, 

[6] That the generation to come might know, [even] the children [yet] to be born, [That] they may arise and recount [them] to their children, 

[7] That they should set their confidence in God And not forget the deeds of God, But observe His commandments, 

[8] And not be like their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that did not prepare its heart And whose spirit was not faithful to God. 

[Psa 78:5-8 LSB]

How Long, O Yahweh?
