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 OVERSEER. FOR JEDUTHUN. A PSALM OF ASAPH. My voice [is] to God, and I cry, My voice [is] to God, And He has given ear to 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.

I sought the Lord in a day of my distress, My hand has been spread out by night, And it does not cease, My soul has refused to be comforted.

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

I remember God, and make a noise, I meditate, and my spirit is feeble. (Selah)

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

You have taken hold of the watches of my eyes, I have been moved, and I do not speak.

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

I have reckoned the days of old, The years of the ages.

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

I remember my music in the night, I meditate with my heart, and my spirit searches diligently:

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

Does the Lord cast off for all ages? Does He add to be pleased no longer?

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

Has His kindness ceased forever? The saying failed from generation to generation?

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

Has God forgotten [His] favors? Has He shut up His mercies in anger? (Selah)

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

And I say: “My weakness is, The changes of the right hand of the Most High.”

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

I mention the doings of YAH, For I remember Your wonders of old,

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

And I have meditated on all Your working, And I talk concerning Your doings.

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

O God, Your way [is] in holiness, Who [is] a great god like God?

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

You [are] the God doing wonders. You have made Your strength known among the peoples,

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

You have redeemed Your people with strength, 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 have seen You, O God, The waters have seen You, They are afraid—also depths are troubled.

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

Thick clouds have poured out waters, The skies have given forth a noise, Also—Your arrows go up and down.

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

The voice of Your thunder [is] in the spheres, Lightnings have lightened the world, The earth has trembled, indeed, it shakes.

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

Your way [is] in the sea, And Your paths in many waters, And Your tracks have not been known.

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

You have led Your people as a flock, By the hand of Moses and Aaron!
