Psalm 77

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 For the leader. For Y'dutun. A psalm of Asaf: I cry aloud to God, aloud to God; and he hears me.

2 On the day of my distress I am seeking Adonai; my hands are lifted up; my tears flow all night without ceasing; my heart refuses comfort.

3 When remembering God, I moan; when I ponder, my spirit fails. (Selah)

4 You hold my eyelids [and keep me from sleeping]; I am too troubled to speak.

5 I think about the days of old, the years of long ago;

6 in the night I remember my song, I commune with myself, my spirit inquires:

7 "Will Adonai reject forever? will he never show his favor again?

8 Has his grace permanently disappeared? Is his word to all generations done away?

9 Has God forgotten to be compassionate? Has he in anger withheld his mercy?" (Selah)

10 Then I add, "That's my weakness [supposing] the Most High's right hand could change."

11 So I will remind myself of Yah's doings; yes, I will remember your wonders of old.

12 I will meditate on your work and think about what you have done.

13 God, your way is in holiness. What god is as great as God?

14 You are the God who does wonders, you revealed your strength to the peoples.

15 With your arm you redeemed your people, the descendants of Ya'akov and Yosef. (Selah)

16 The water saw you, God; the water saw you and writhed in anguish, agitated to its depths.

17 The clouds poured water, the skies thundered, and your arrows flashed here and there.

18 The sound of your thunder was in the whirlwind, the lightning flashes lit up the world, the earth trembled and shook.

19 Your way went through the sea, your path through the turbulent waters; but your footsteps could not be traced.

20 You led your people like a flock under the care of Moshe and Aharon.

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.
