< Psalms 77 >

1 To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A Psalm. My voice is unto God, and I will cry; my voice is unto God, and he will give ear unto me.
I will cry to God with my voice, even to God with my voice, and he will give ear to me.
2 In the day of my trouble, I sought the Lord: my hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not; my soul refused to be comforted.

3 I remembered God, and I moaned; I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. (Selah)
I remember God, and am disquieted. I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. (Selah)
4 Thou holdest open mine eyelids; I am full of disquiet and cannot speak.
Thou have held my eyelids watching. I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5 I consider the days of old, the years of ancient times.

6 I remember my song in the night; I muse in mine own heart, and my spirit maketh diligent search.

7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?
Will the Lord cast off forever? And will he be favorable no more?
8 Hath his loving-kindness ceased for ever? hath [his] word come to an end from generation to generation?
Has his loving kindness entirely gone forever? Does his promise fail for evermore?
9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? or hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? (Selah)
Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he in anger shut up his tender mercies? (Selah)
10 Then said I, This is my weakness: — the years of the right hand of the Most High
And I said, This is my infirmity, the change of the right hand of the Most High.
11 Will I remember, — the works of Jah; for I will remember thy wonders of old,
I will make mention of the deeds of Jehovah, for I will remember thy wonders of old.
12 And I will meditate upon all thy work, and muse upon thy doings.
I will meditate also upon all thy work, and muse on thy doings.
13 O God, thy way is in the sanctuary: who is so great a god as God?
Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary. Who is a great god like God?
14 Thou art the God that doest wonders; thou hast declared thy strength among the peoples.

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 trembled, yea, the depths were troubled:
The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee. They were afraid. The depths also trembled.
17 The thick clouds poured out water; the skies sent out a sound, yea, thine arrows went abroad:
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 whirlwind, lightnings lit up the world; the earth was troubled and it quaked.
The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind. The lightnings lightened the world. The earth trembled and shook.
19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths are in the great waters; and thy footsteps are not known.
Thy way was in the sea, and thy paths in the great waters. And thy footsteps were not known.
20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Thou led thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
