Psalms 77

1 For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. I will lift up my voice unto God, and cry; I will lift up my voice unto God, that He may give ear unto me.

For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. I will cry unto God with my voice, Even unto God with my voice; and he will give ear unto me.

2 In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord; with my hand uplifted, mine eye streameth in the night without ceasing; my soul refuseth to be comforted.

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 When I think thereon, O God, I must moan; when I muse thereon, my spirit fainteth. (Selah)

I remember God, and am disquieted: I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. (Selah)

4 Thou holdest fast the lids of mine eyes; I am troubled, and cannot speak.

Thou holdest mine eyes watching: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

5 I have pondered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

I have considered the days of old, The years of ancient times.

6 In the night I will call to remembrance my song; I will commune with mine own heart; and my spirit maketh diligent search:

I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with 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 for ever? And will he be favorable no more?

8 Is His mercy clean gone for ever? Is His promise come to an end for evermore?

Is his lovingkindness clean gone for ever? Doth his promise fail for evermore?

9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? Hath He in anger shut up his compassions?' (Selah)

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

10 And I say: 'This is my weakness, that the right hand of the Most High could change.

And I said, This is my infirmity; [But I will remember] the years of the right hand of the Most High.

11 I will make mention of the deeds of the LORD; yea, 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 I will meditate also upon all Thy work, and muse on Thy doings.'

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

13 O God, Thy way is in holiness; who is a great god like unto God?

Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: Who is a great god like unto God?

14 Thou art the God that doest wonders; Thou hast made known 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 were in pain; the depths also trembled.

The waters saw thee, O God; The waters saw thee, they were afraid: The depths also trembled.

17 The clouds flooded forth waters; the skies sent out a sound; Thine arrows also 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; the lightnings lighted up the world; the earth trembled and shook.

The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightnings lightened the world: The earth trembled and shook.

19 Thy way was in the sea, and Thy path in the great waters, and Thy footsteps were not known.

Thy way was in the sea, And thy paths in the great waters, And thy footsteps were not known.

20 Thou didst lead Thy people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

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