Psalm 77

Common English Bible CEB

1 I cry out loud to God— out loud to God so that he can hear me!

2 During the day when I'm in trouble I look for my Lord. At night my hands are still outstretched and don't grow numb; my whole being refuses to be comforted.

3 I remember God and I moan. I complain, and my spirit grows tired. Selah

4 You've kept my eyelids from closing. I'm so upset I can't even speak.

5 I think about days long past; I remember years that seem an eternity in the past.

6 I meditate with my heart at night; I complain, and my spirit keeps searching:

7 "Will my Lord reject me forever? Will he never be pleased again?

8 Has his faithful love come to a complete end? Is his promise over for future generations?

9 Has God forgotten how to be gracious? Has he angrily stopped up his compassion?" Selah

10 It's my misfortune, I thought, that the strong hand of the Most High is different now.

11 But I will remember the LORD's deeds; yes, I will remember your wondrous acts from times long past.

12 I will meditate on all your works; I will ponder your deeds.

13 God, your way is holiness! Who is as great a god as you, God?

14 You are the God who works wonders; you have demonstrated your strength among all peoples.

15 With your mighty arm you redeemed your people; redeemed the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

16 The waters saw you, God— the waters saw you and reeled! Even the deep depths shook!

17 The clouds poured water, the skies cracked thunder; your arrows were flying all around!

18 The crash of your thunder was in the swirling storm; lightning lit up the whole world; the earth shook and quaked.

19 Your way went straight through the sea; your pathways went right through the mighty waters. But your footprints left no trace!

20 You led your people like sheep under the care of Moses and Aaron.

The Message Bible MSG

1 I yell out to my God, I yell with all my might, I yell at the top of my lungs. He listens.

2 I found myself in trouble and went looking for my Lord; my life was an open wound that wouldn't heal. When friends said, "Everything will turn out all right," I didn't believe a word they said.

3 I remember God - and shake my head. I bow my head - then wring my hands.

4 I'm awake all night - not a wink of sleep; I can't even say what's bothering me.

5 I go over the days one by one, I ponder the years gone by.

6 I strum my lute all through the night, wondering how to get my life together.

7 Will the Lord walk off and leave us for good? Will he never smile again?

8 Is his love worn threadbare? Has his salvation promise burned out?

9 Has God forgotten his manners? Has he angrily stalked off and left us?

10 "Just my luck," I said. "The High God goes out of business just the moment I need him."

11 Once again I'll go over what God has done, lay out on the table the ancient wonders;

12 I'll ponder all the things you've accomplished, and give a long, loving look at your acts.

13 O God! Your way is holy! No god is great like God!

14 You're the God who makes things happen; you showed everyone what you can do -

15 You pulled your people out of the worst kind of trouble, rescued the children of Jacob and Joseph.

16 Ocean saw you in action, God, saw you and trembled with fear; Deep Ocean was scared to death.

17 Clouds belched buckets of rain, Sky exploded with thunder, your arrows flashing this way and that.

18 From Whirlwind came your thundering voice, Lightning exposed the world, Earth reeled and rocked.

19 You strode right through Ocean, walked straight through roaring Ocean, but nobody saw you come or go.

20 Hidden in the hands of Moses and Aaron, You led your people like a flock of sheep.
