PSALM 77 THE GOD WHO WORKS WONDERS
11 I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your wonders of old.
12 I will ponder all your work, and meditate on your mighty deeds.
13 Your way, O God, is holy. What god is great like our God?
14 You are the God who works wonders; you have made known your might among the peoples.15 You with your arm redeemed your people,
the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah 16 When the waters saw you, O God,
when the waters saw you, they were afraid; indeed, the deep trembled.
17 The clouds poured out water; the skies gave forth thunder;
your arrows flashed on every side.18 The crash of your thunder was in the whirlwind;
your lightnings lighted up the world; the earth trembled and shook.
19 Your way was through the sea, your path through the great waters;
yet your footprints were unseen. 20 You led your people like a flock
by the hand of Moses and Aaron. – Psalm 77:10-20

A poem inspired by this psalm by ILMA
O Lord, I am in awe of your majesty and power
All your creation bows down to you and cower
You are the God who created all things for your purpose
There is no other god who can do such deeds that are marvelous
Your presence manifest in all that you have made
Let me never forget to magnify you in all that you’ve done.
I will remember all the deeds you do in the ancient days
You showed your love to them when you rescued them
You provided manna from heaven to keep them fed
You protected them from the enemy and kept them safe
I praise and glorify you, the Lord who made heaven and earth
Keep me thankful and remember all you have wonderfully made.
