Psalms 77

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.

1 I cried out to God for help; I cried out to God to hear 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.

2 When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; at night I stretched out untiring hands, and I 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.)

3 I remembered you, God, and I groaned; I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.

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

4 You kept my eyes from closing; I was too troubled to speak.

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

5 I thought about the former days, the years of long ago;

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.

6 I remembered my songs in the night. My heart meditated and my spirit asked:

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

7 “Will the Lord reject forever? Will he never show his favor again?

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

8 Has his unfailing love vanished forever? Has his promise failed for all time?

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

9 Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has he in anger withheld his compassion?”

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.

10 Then I thought, “To this I will appeal: the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand.

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

11 I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.

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

12 I will consider all your works and meditate on all your mighty deeds.”

13 Your way, O God, is holy: what god is so 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 works of power: you have made your strength clear to the nations.

14 You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples.

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

15 With your mighty arm you redeemed your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.

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

16 The waters saw you, God, the waters saw you and writhed; the very depths were convulsed.

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

17 The clouds poured down water, the heavens resounded with thunder; your arrows flashed back and forth.

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

18 Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind, your lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked.

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

19 Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen.

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

20 You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
