Psalms 77

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.

King James Version KJV

1 I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.

2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.

3 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.

4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

6 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.

7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?

8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?

9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.

10 And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.

11 I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.

12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.

13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?

14 Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.

15 Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.

17 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.

18 The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.

19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.

20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
