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.

To the Chief Musician. On "Jeduthun." Asaph’s, a Melody. With my voice—unto God, will I make outcry, With my voice unto God, and he will give ear unto 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.

In the day of my distress—unto My Lord, will I seek, My hand, by night, hath been outstretched and never once became slack, My soul, hath refused to be consoled;

3 I remembered God, and I moaned; I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. (Selah)

I remember God and I murmur, I muse, and my spirit swooneth. (Selah)

4 Thou holdest open mine eyelids; I am full of disquiet and cannot speak.

Thou hast held, watching, mine eyes, I was driven to and fro, and could not speak;

5 I consider the days of old, the years of ancient times.

I reasoned, Of the days of aforetime, Of the years of by-gone ages;

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

I remember my song in the night, —With my own heart, I commune, And my spirit, maketh search: —

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

For ages, will My Lord reject? And, not again, grant acceptance any more?

8 Hath his loving-kindness ceased for ever? hath [his] word come to an end from generation to generation?

Hath his lovingkindness, come to a perpetual end? Hath his word failed to generation after generation?

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

Hath GOD, forgotten to show favour? Or hath he shut up, in anger, his compassions? (Selah)

10 Then said I, This is my weakness: — the years of the right hand of the Most High

Then said I—An affliction to me, it is, The changing 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 remember the doings of Yah, Surely I will remember, out of aforetime, thy wonderful way;

12 And I will meditate upon all thy work, and muse upon thy doings.

And will talk to myself of all thy work, And, of thy doings, will I muse: —

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

O God, in the sanctuary, is thy way, —Who is a great GOD like Elohim?

14 Thou art the God that doest wonders; thou hast declared thy strength among the peoples.

Thou, art GOD, doing wonderfully, —Thou hast made known, among the peoples, thy might;

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

Thou didst redeem, with thine arm—Thy people, Thy 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 in birth-throes, Yea the resounding deeps were stirred;

17 The thick clouds poured out water; the skies sent out a sound, yea, thine arrows went abroad:

The clouds, poured down waters, The skies uttered, a voice, Yea, thine arrows, flew hither and thither;

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, Thy lightnings illumined the world, The earth, trembled and quaked;

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

In the sea, was thy way, And, thy path, in the mighty waters, And, thy footprints, could not be known:

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

Thou didst lead, like a flock, thy people, By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
