BE STILL AND KNOW
(based on Ps.77; 79:5-6; Ps.46:10)
I am so troubled that I can not speak
My eyelids are opened, my heart is moved
Within me; I’m troubled
My hands are stretched out in the night without ceasing
My soul is refusing to be comforted
Or calmed; I’m troubled
I complained and complained and complained
And my spirit was overwhelmed, overwhelmed
Will Yahuah cast me off forever?
And will He be favorable no more?
And has His mercy ceased forever?
Has His promise failed forevermore?
Has Yah forgotten to be gracious?
Has His anger prevents His tender mercies?
Will His jealousy burn like constant fire?
Are You not Yahuah? Are You not my God?
I’ve become a reproach to my neighbors
A scorn and derision to all those
Around me; I’m troubled
Pour out Your wrath on those who reject You
Your indignation on arrogant, proud
But why me? Yah, I’m troubled
I complained and complained and complained
And my spirit was overwhelmed, overwhelmed
STOP! in the Name of Yah!
STOP, my soul, and BE STILL!
Be righteous still, be holy still
Bu humble still, forgiving still
BE STILL. And know. He is GOD.
Remember, my soul, remember Yahuah
The years of the right hand of the Most High
Recount ALL His tender mercies
Remember, my soul, the works of Yahuah
His ways and His wonders, His strong loving hands
Of redemption and salvation
Remember. Recount. Repeat.
Forget not all His benefits, O my soul
START! in the Name of Yah
START, my soul, praising Yah
Be righteous still, be holy still,
By humble still, forgiving still
BE STILL. And know. He is GOD.

PSALM 77
1I cried out to God; I cried aloud to God to hear me.
2 In the day of trouble I sought the Lord;
through the night my outstretched hands did not grow weary; my soul refused to be comforted.
3 I remembered You, O God, and I groaned; I mused and my spirit grew faint.
4 You have kept my eyes from closing; I am too troubled to speak.
5 I considered the days of old, the years long in the past.
6 At night I remembered my song; in my heart I mused, and my spirit pondered:
7 “Will the Lord forget and spurn us forever, and never show His favor again?
8 Is His loving devotion gone forever? Has His promise failed for all time?
9 Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has His anger shut off His compassion?”
10 So I said, “I am grieved that the right hand of the Most High has changed.”
11 I will remember the works of the LORD; yes, I will remember Your wonders of old.
12 I will reflect on all You have done and ponder Your mighty deeds.
13 Your way, O God, is holy. What god is so great as our God?
14 You are the God who works wonders; You display Your strength among the peoples.
PSALM 79
4 We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to those around us.
5 How long, O LORD? Will You be angry forever? Will Your jealousy burn like fire?
6 Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge You...
PSALM 46
10 “Be still and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted over the earth.”
