Revealing Abba in the Psalms | How Jesus saw God as Abba

Revealing Abba in Psalm 77

I cried “Abba” with a loud voice; and You heard Me; even in the midst of My affliction;

In the day of My trouble, I cried out to You Abba: and in the night I sought only Your comfort, and refused to find comfort in the world;

I remembered Your promise Abba and I called out to You in My complaint, My spirit was overwhelmed;

Yet You set Your joy ever before My eyes even when I was so troubled that I could not speak;

I considered all the mighty works You have done in the days of old, the years of ancient times;

I called to remembrance how Your breath moved over the darkness saying let there be light; This is My song in the midst of My affliction; I meditated on and searched the heart of man in My spirit;

Will the Lord cast us off forever? and does He not look favorable on us anymore?

Is His mercy gone forever? Have His promises failed?

Has He forgotten to be gracious? has His in anger shut up His tender mercies? Certainly not!

And I said this in My infirmity, so all might know; that in Me, His right hand is a memorial and a testimony of the Most High for them;

How I remembered and trusted in the works and the promises of Abba that were from the beginning;

That all might also behold Your works and talk of Your doings in Me;

Seeing that Your way O Abba, is found in Me; in whom You have shown Yourself a great God who saves to the uttermost;

You are the God who has done wonderful works in Me, and has declared Your strength in Me; in the midst of the great congregation;

In Me, Your arm, have You redeemed all people from death; the sons of Jacob and Joesph;

Like the waters of the Red sea; the Jordan saw You in Me; O Abba, and trembled; the deep also was troubled;

There the heavens were opened and Your Spirit lighted upon Me; the skies sent out a sound and Your word went forth;
The sound of Your voice came from heaven; this is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased; the light of the world and the earth trembled and shook in awe;

You revealed the way unto life, the faith, in Me; when the way was yet unknown;

You lead Your beloved like a flock through the sea, through the valley that was shadowed by death; as their Good Shepherd; in Me, the way unto life at Your right hand.
