Psalm 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.

Young's Literal Translation YLT

1 To the Overseer, for Jeduthun. -- A Psalm of Asaph. My voice [is] to God, and I cry, my voice [is] to God, And He hath given ear unto me.

2 In a day of my distress the Lord I sought, My hand by night hath been spread out, And it doth not cease, My soul hath refused to be comforted.

3 I remember God, and make a noise, I meditate, and feeble is my spirit. Selah.

4 Thou hast taken hold of the watches of mine eyes, I have been moved, and I speak not.

5 I have reckoned the days of old, The years of the ages.

6 I remember my music in the night, With my heart I meditate, and my spirit doth search diligently:

7 To the ages doth the Lord cast off? Doth He add to be pleased no more?

8 Hath His kindness ceased for ever? The saying failed to all generations?

9 Hath God forgotten [His] favours? Hath He shut up in anger His mercies? Selah.

10 And I say: `My weakness is, The changes of the right hand of the Most High.'

11 I mention the doings of Jah, For I remember of old Thy wonders,

12 And I have meditated on all Thy working, And I talk concerning Thy doings.

13 O God, in holiness [is] Thy way, Who [is] a great god like God?

14 Thou [art] the God doing wonders. Thou hast made known among the peoples Thy strength,

15 Thou hast redeemed with strength Thy people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

16 The waters have seen Thee, O God, The waters have seen Thee, They are afraid -- also depths are troubled.

17 Poured out waters have thick clouds, The skies have given forth a noise, Also -- Thine arrows go up and down.

18 The voice of Thy thunder [is] in the spheres, Lightnings have lightened the world, The earth hath trembled, yea, it shaketh.

19 In the sea [is] Thy way, And Thy paths [are] in many waters, And Thy tracks have not been known.

20 Thou hast led as a flock Thy people, By the hand of Moses and Aaron!
