Psalms 77
1 For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. I cried out to God; I cried aloud to God to hear me.
| לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַֽל־ידיתון יְדוּתוּן לְאָסָף מִזְמֽוֹר׃ קוֹלִי אֶל־אֱלֹהִים וְאֶצְעָקָה קוֹלִי אֶל־אֱלֹהִים וְהַאֲזִין אֵלָֽי׃ |
2 In the day of trouble I sought the Lord; through the night my outstretched hands did not grow weary; my soul refused to be comforted.
| בְּיוֹם צָרָתִי אֲדֹנָי דָּרָשְׁתִּי יָדִי ׀ לַיְלָה נִגְּרָה וְלֹא תָפוּג מֵאֲנָה הִנָּחֵם נַפְשִֽׁי׃ |
3 I remembered You, O God, and I groaned; I mused and my spirit grew faint.
| אֶזְכְּרָה אֱלֹהִים וְאֶֽהֱמָיָה אָשִׂיחָה ׀ וְתִתְעַטֵּף רוּחִי סֶֽלָה׃ |
4 You have kept my eyes from closing; I am too troubled to speak.
| אָחַזְתָּ שְׁמֻרוֹת עֵינָי נִפְעַמְתִּי וְלֹא אֲדַבֵּֽר׃ |
5 I considered the days of old, the years long in the past.
| חִשַּׁבְתִּי יָמִים מִקֶּדֶם שְׁנוֹת עוֹלָמִֽים׃ |
6 At night I remembered my song; in my heart I mused, and my spirit pondered:
| אֶֽזְכְּרָה נְגִינָתִי בַּלָּיְלָה עִם־לְבָבִי אָשִׂיחָה וַיְחַפֵּשׂ רוּחִֽי׃ |
7 “Will the Lord spurn us forever and never show His favor again?
| הַֽלְעוֹלָמִים יִזְנַח ׀ אֲדֹנָי וְלֹֽא־יֹסִיף לִרְצוֹת עֽוֹד׃ |
8 Is His loving devotion gone forever? Has His promise failed for all time?
| הֶאָפֵס לָנֶצַח חַסְדּוֹ גָּמַר אֹמֶר לְדֹר וָדֹֽר׃ |
9 Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has His anger shut off His compassion?”
| הֲשָׁכַח חַנּוֹת אֵל אִם־קָפַץ בְּאַף רַחֲמָיו סֶֽלָה׃ |
10 So I said, “I am grieved that the right hand of the Most High has changed.”
| וָאֹמַר חַלּוֹתִי הִיא שְׁנוֹת יְמִין עֶלְיֽוֹן׃ |
11 I will remember the works of the LORD; yes, I will remember Your wonders of old.
| אזכיר אֶזְכּוֹר מַֽעַלְלֵי־יָהּ כִּֽי־אֶזְכְּרָה מִקֶּדֶם פִּלְאֶֽךָ׃ |
12 I will reflect on all You have done and ponder Your mighty deeds.
| וְהָגִיתִי בְכָל־פָּעֳלֶךָ וּֽבַעֲלִילוֹתֶיךָ אָשִֽׂיחָה׃ |
13 Your way, O God, is holy. What god is so great as our God?
| אֱלֹהִים בַּקֹּדֶשׁ דַּרְכֶּךָ מִי־אֵל גָּדוֹל כֵּֽאלֹהִֽים׃ |
14 You are the God who works wonders; You display Your strength among the peoples.
| אַתָּה הָאֵל עֹשֵׂה פֶלֶא הוֹדַעְתָּ בָעַמִּים עֻזֶּֽךָ׃ |
15 With power You redeemed Your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph.
| גָּאַלְתָּ בִּזְרוֹעַ עַמֶּךָ בְּנֵי־יַעֲקֹב וְיוֹסֵף סֶֽלָה׃ |
16 The waters saw You, O God; the waters saw You and swirled; even the depths were shaken.
| רָאוּךָ מַּיִם ׀ אֱֽלֹהִים רָאוּךָ מַּיִם יָחִילוּ אַף יִרְגְּזוּ תְהֹמֽוֹת׃ |
17 The clouds poured down water; the skies resounded with thunder; Your arrows flashed back and forth.
| זֹרְמוּ מַיִם ׀ עָבוֹת קוֹל נָתְנוּ שְׁחָקִים אַף־חֲצָצֶיךָ יִתְהַלָּֽכוּ׃ |
18 Your thunder resounded in the whirlwind; the lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked.
| קוֹל רַעַמְךָ ׀ בַּגַּלְגַּל הֵאִירוּ בְרָקִים תֵּבֵל רָגְזָה וַתִּרְעַשׁ הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
19 Your path led through the sea, Your way through the mighty waters, but Your footprints were not to be found.
| בַּיָּם דַּרְכֶּךָ ושביליך וּֽשְׁבִֽילְךָ בְּמַיִם רַבִּים וְעִקְּבוֹתֶיךָ לֹא נֹדָֽעוּ׃ |
20 You led Your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
| נָחִיתָ כַצֹּאן עַמֶּךָ בְּֽיַד־מֹשֶׁה וְאַהֲרֹֽן׃ |
