Psalm 77

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 <To the chief music-maker. After Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A Psalm.> I was crying to God with my voice; even to God with my voice, and he gave ear to me.

2 In the day of my trouble, my heart was turned to the Lord: my hand was stretched out in the night without resting; my soul would not be comforted.

3 I will keep God in memory, with sounds of grief; my thoughts are troubled, and my spirit is overcome. (Selah.)

4 You keep my eyes from sleep; I am so troubled that no words come.

5 My thoughts go back to the days of the past, to the years which are gone.

6 The memory of my song comes back to me in the night; my thoughts are moving in my heart; my spirit is searching with care.

7 Will the Lord put me away for ever? will he be kind no longer?

8 Is his mercy quite gone for ever? has his word come to nothing?

9 Has God put away the memory of his pity? are his mercies shut up by his wrath? (Selah.)

10 And I said, It is a weight on my spirit; but I will keep in mind the years of the right hand of the Most High.

11 I will keep in mind the works of Jah: I will keep the memory of your wonders in the past.

12 I will give thought to all your work, while my mind goes over your acts of power.

13 Your way, O God, is holy: what god is so great as our God?

14 You are the God who does works of power: you have made your strength clear to the nations.

15 With your arm you have made your people free, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah.)

16 The waters saw you, O God; the waters saw you, they were in fear: even the deep was troubled.

17 The clouds sent out water; the skies gave out a sound; truly, your arrows went far and wide.

18 The voice of your thunder went rolling on; the world was flaming with the light of the storm; the earth was shaking.

19 Your way was in the sea, and your road in the great waters; there was no knowledge of your footsteps.

20 You were guiding your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Good News Translation GNT

1 I cry aloud to God; I cry aloud, and he hears 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.

3 When I think of God, I sigh; when I meditate, I feel discouraged.

4 He keeps me awake all night; I am so worried that I cannot speak.

5 I think of days gone by and remember years of long ago.

6 I spend the night in deep thought; I meditate, and this is what I ask myself:

7 "Will the Lord always reject us? Will he never again be pleased with us?

8 Has he stopped loving us? Does his promise no longer stand?

9 Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has anger taken the place of his compassion?"

10 Then I said, "What hurts me most is this - that God is no longer powerful."

11 I will remember your great deeds, Lord; I will recall the wonders you did in the past.

12 I will think about all that you have done; I will meditate on all your mighty acts.

13 Everything you do, O God, is holy. No god is as great as you.

14 You are the God who works miracles; you showed your might among the nations.

15 By your power you saved your people, the descendants of Jacob and of Joseph.

16 When the waters saw you, O God, they were afraid, and the depths of the sea trembled.

17 The clouds poured down rain; thunder crashed from the sky, and lightning flashed in all directions.

18 The crash of your thunder rolled out, and flashes of lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and shook.

19 You walked through the waves; you crossed the deep sea, but your footprints could not be seen.

20 You led your people like a shepherd, with Moses and Aaron in charge.
