Psalms 77

NCV

NIV

1 I cry out to God; I call to God, and he will hear me.
1 I cried out to God for help; I cried out to God to hear me.
2 I look for the Lord on the day of trouble. All night long I reach out my hands, but I cannot be comforted.
2 When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; at night I stretched out untiring hands, and I would not be comforted.
3 When I remember God, I become upset; when I think, I become afraid.Selah
3 I remembered you, God, and I groaned; I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.
4 You keep my eyes from closing. I am too upset to say anything.
4 You kept my eyes from closing; I was too troubled to speak.
5 I keep thinking about the old days, the years of long ago.
5 I thought about the former days, the years of long ago;
6 At night I remember my songs. I think and I ask myself:
6 I remembered my songs in the night. My heart meditated and my spirit asked:
7 "Will the Lord reject us forever? Will he never be kind to us again?
7 “Will the Lord reject forever? Will he never show his favor again?
8 Is his love gone forever? Has he stopped speaking for all time?
8 Has his unfailing love vanished forever? Has his promise failed for all time?
9 Has God forgotten mercy? Is he too angry to pity us?"Selah
9 Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has he in anger withheld his compassion?”
10 Then I say "This is what makes me sad: For years the power of God Most High was with us."
10 Then I thought, “To this I will appeal: the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand.
11 I remember what the Lord did; I remember the miracles you did long ago.
11 I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.
12 I think about all the things you did and consider your deeds.
12 I will consider all your works and meditate on all your mighty deeds.”
13 God, your ways are holy. No god is as great as our God.
13 Your ways, God, are holy. What god is as great as our God?
14 You are the God who does miracles; you have shown people your power.
14 You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples.
15 By your power you have saved your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.Selah
15 With your mighty arm you redeemed your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.
16 God, the waters saw you; they saw you and became afraid; the deep waters shook with fear.
16 The waters saw you, God, the waters saw you and writhed; the very depths were convulsed.
17 The clouds poured down their rain. The sky thundered. Your lightning flashed back and forth like arrows.
17 The clouds poured down water, the heavens resounded with thunder; your arrows flashed back and forth.
18 Your thunder sounded in the whirlwind. Lightning lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook.
18 Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind, your lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked.
19 You made a way through the sea and paths through the deep waters, but your footprints were not seen.
19 Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen.
20 You led your people like a flock by using Moses and Aaron. A maskil of Asaph.
20 You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
