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 ouercomere on Yditum, `the salm of Asaph. With my vois Y criede to the Lord; with my vois to God, and he yaf tent 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.

In the dai of my tribulacioun Y souyte God with myn hondis; in the nyyt `to fore hym, and Y am not disseyued. Mi soule forsook to be coumfortid;

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

Y was myndeful of God, and Y delitide, and Y was exercisid; and my spirit failide.

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

Myn iyen bifore took wakyngis; Y was disturblid, and Y spak not.

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

I thouyte elde daies; and Y hadde in mynde euerlastinge yeeris.

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

And Y thouyte in the nyyt with myn herte; and Y was exercisid, and Y clensid my spirit.

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

Whether God schal caste awei with outen ende; ether schal he not lei to, that he be more plesid yit?

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

Ethir schal he kitte awei his merci into the ende; fro generacioun in to generacioun?

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

Ethir schal God foryete to do mercy; ethir schal he withholde his mercies in his ire?

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

And Y seide, Now Y bigan; this is the chaunging of the riythond of `the hiye God.

11 Will I remember, — the works of Jah; for I will remember thy wonders of old,

I hadde mynde on the werkis of the Lord; for Y schal haue mynde fro the bigynnyng of thi merueilis.

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

And Y schal thenke in alle thi werkis; and Y schal be occupied in thi fyndyngis.

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

God, thi weie was in the hooli; what God is greet as oure God?

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

thou art God, that doist merueilis. Thou madist thi vertu knowun among puplis;

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

thou ayenbouytist in thi arm thi puple, the sones of Jacob and of Joseph.

16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they trembled, yea, the depths were troubled:

God, watris sien thee, watris sien thee, and dredden; and depthis of watris weren disturblid.

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

The multitude of the soun of watris; cloudis yauen vois.

18 The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind, lightnings lit up the world; the earth was troubled and it quaked.

For whi thin arewis passen; the vois of thi thundir was in a wheel. Thi liytnyngis schyneden to the world; the erthe was moued, and tremblid.

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

Thi weie in the see, and thi pathis in many watris; and thi steppis schulen not be knowun.

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

Thou leddist forth thi puple as scheep; in the hond of Moyses and of Aaron.
