Psalm 77: My Strength and My Song
Hello Everybody,
Happy Saturday! I hope you are fine and bubbling in the Lord. Or just being still and knowing that He is God. Psalm 77v15 talks of a wonderful thing that God did. In particular, it says:
“With Your mighty arm You redeemed Your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.” Psalm 77v15
Here is what the children of Israel had to say when the Lord delivered them from Pharaoh and his chariots:
“Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD:
“I will sing to the LORD, for He is highly exalted. The horse and its rider He has hurled into the sea.
The LORD is my strength and my song; He has become my salvation.
He is my God, and I will praise Him, my father’s God, and I will exalt Him.
The LORD is a warrior; the LORD is His name.
Pharaoh’s chariots and his army He has hurled into the sea.
The best of Pharaoh’s officers are drowned in the Red Sea.
The deep waters have covered them; they sank to the depths like a stone.
“Your right hand, O LORD, was majestic in power.
Your right hand, O LORD, shattered the enemy.
In the greatness of Your majesty You threw down those who opposed You.
You unleashed Your burning anger; it consumed them like stubble.
By the blast of Your nostrils the waters piled up.
The surging waters stood firm like a wall; the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea.
“The enemy boasted, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake them.
I will divide the spoils; I will gorge myself on them.
I will draw my sword and my hand will destroy them.’
But You blew with Your breath, and the sea covered them.
They sank like lead in the mighty waters.
“Who among the gods is like You, O LORD?
Who is like You – majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?
You stretched out Your right hand and the earth swallowed them.
In Your unfailing love You will lead the people You have redeemed.
In Your strength You will guide them to Your holy dwelling.
The nations will hear and tremble; anguish will grip the people of Philistia.
The chiefs of Edom will be terrified, the leaders of Moab will be seized with trembling,
the people of Canaan will melt away; terror and dread will fall upon them.
By the power of Your arm they will be as still as a stone –
until Your people pass by, O LORD, until the people You bought pass by.
You will bring them in and plant them on the mountain of Your inheritance –
the place, O LORD, You made for Your dwelling,
the sanctuary, O Lord, Your hands established.
The LORD will reign
for ever and ever.” Exodus 15v1-18
Praise the Lord. May the Lord give you a song today, a song of testimony, a song of joy, a song of redemption, a song that speaks of His victory. He is awesome, He is faithful, He is True, there is none like Him, and none besides Him. He will fight for you. Be still. Know that He is God. He is our God. He is our father’s God. He cannot fail! He will not fail you. Wait, I say wait on the Lord, and be of good courage all ye that wait on Him. (Psalm 27v13-14). Be encouraged.
Have a very blessed day.
