Psalms 77

1 For the excellent musician Ieduthun. A Psalme committed to Asaph. My voyce came to God, when I cryed: my voyce came to God, and he heard me.

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.

2 In the day of my trouble I sought ye Lord: my sore ranne and ceased not in the night: my soule refused comfort.

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 did thinke vpon God, and was troubled: I praied, and my spirit was full of anguish. (Selah)

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

4 Thou keepest mine eyes waking: I was astonied and could not speake.

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

5 Then I considered the daies of olde, and the yeeres of ancient time.

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

6 I called to remembrance my song in the night: I communed with mine owne heart, and my spirit searched diligently.

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

7 Will the Lord absent him selfe for euer? and will he shewe no more fauour?

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

8 Is his mercie cleane gone for euer? doeth his promise faile for euermore?

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

9 Hath God forgotten to be mercifull? hath he shut vp his teder mercies in displeasure? (Selah)

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

10 And I sayde, This is my death: yet I remembred the yeeres of the right hand of the most High.

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

11 I remembred the workes of the Lord: certainely I remembred thy wonders of olde.

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

12 I did also meditate all thy woorkes, and did deuise of thine actes, saying,

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

13 Thy way, O God, is in the Sanctuarie: who is so great a God as our God!

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

14 Thou art ye God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy power among the people.

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

15 Thou hast redeemed thy people with thine arme, euen the sonnes of Iaakob and Ioseph. (Selah)

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

16 The waters sawe thee, O God: the waters sawe thee, and were afraide: yea, the depths trembled.

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

17 The cloudes powred out water: the heauens gaue a sounde: yea, thine arrowes went abroade.

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

18 The voyce of thy thunder was rounde about: the lightnings lightened the worlde: the earth trembled and shooke.

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

19 Thy way is in the Sea, and thy paths in the great waters, and thy footesteps are not knowen.

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

20 Thou diddest leade thy people like sheepe by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

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