Psalms 77

GNT

NIV

1 I cry aloud to God; I cry aloud, and he hears me.
1 I cried out to God for help; I cried out to God to hear me.
2 In times of trouble I pray to the Lord; all night long I lift my hands in prayer, but I cannot find comfort.
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 think of God, I sigh; when I meditate, I feel discouraged.
3 I remembered you, God, and I groaned; I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.
4 He keeps me awake all night; I am so worried that I cannot speak.
4 You kept my eyes from closing; I was too troubled to speak.
5 I think of days gone by and remember years of long ago.
5 I thought about the former days, the years of long ago;
6 I spend the night in deep thought; I meditate, and this is what I ask myself:
6 I remembered my songs in the night. My heart meditated and my spirit asked:
7 "Will the Lord always reject us? Will he never again be pleased with us?
7 “Will the Lord reject forever? Will he never show his favor again?
8 Has he stopped loving us? Does his promise no longer stand?
8 Has his unfailing love vanished forever? Has his promise failed for all time?
9 Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has anger taken the place of his compassion?"
9 Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has he in anger withheld his compassion?”
10 Then I said, "What hurts me most is this - that God is no longer powerful."
10 Then I thought, “To this I will appeal: the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand.
11 I will remember your great deeds, Lord; I will recall the wonders you did in the past.
11 I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.
12 I will think about all that you have done; I will meditate on all your mighty acts.
12 I will consider all your works and meditate on all your mighty deeds.”
13 Everything you do, O God, is holy. No god is as great as you.
13 Your ways, God, are holy. What god is as great as our God?
14 You are the God who works miracles; you showed your might among the nations.
14 You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples.
15 By your power you saved your people, the descendants of Jacob and of Joseph.
15 With your mighty arm you redeemed your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.
16 When the waters saw you, O God, they were afraid, and the depths of the sea trembled.
16 The waters saw you, God, the waters saw you and writhed; the very depths were convulsed.
17 The clouds poured down rain; thunder crashed from the sky, and lightning flashed in all directions.
17 The clouds poured down water, the heavens resounded with thunder; your arrows flashed back and forth.
18 The crash of your thunder rolled out, and flashes of 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 walked through the waves; you crossed the deep sea, but your footprints could not be 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 shepherd, with Moses and Aaron in charge.
20 You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
