< 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 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.
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 ye Lord: my sore ranne and ceased not in the night: my soule refused comfort.
3 When I think thereon, O God, I must moan; when I muse thereon, my spirit fainteth. (Selah)
I did thinke vpon God, and was troubled: I praied, and my spirit was full of anguish. (Selah)
4 Thou holdest fast the lids of mine eyes; I am troubled, and cannot speak.
Thou keepest mine eyes waking: I was astonied and could not speake.
5 I have pondered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
Then I considered the daies of olde, and the yeeres of ancient time.
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 called to remembrance my song in the night: I communed with mine owne heart, and my spirit searched diligently.
7 'Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will He be favourable no more?
Will the Lord absent him selfe for euer? and will he shewe no more fauour?
8 Is His mercy clean gone for ever? Is His promise come to an end for evermore?
Is his mercie cleane gone for euer? doeth his promise faile for euermore?
9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? Hath He in anger shut up his compassions?' (Selah)
Hath God forgotten to be mercifull? hath he shut vp his teder mercies in displeasure? (Selah)
10 And I say: 'This is my weakness, that the right hand of the Most High could change.
And I sayde, This is my death: yet I remembred the yeeres 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 remembred the workes of the Lord: certainely I remembred thy wonders of olde.
12 I will meditate also upon all Thy work, and muse on Thy doings.'
I did also meditate all thy woorkes, and did deuise of thine actes, saying,
13 O God, Thy way is in holiness; who is a great god like unto God?
Thy way, O God, is in the Sanctuarie: who is so great a God as our God!
14 Thou art the God that doest wonders; Thou hast made known Thy strength among the peoples.
Thou art ye God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy power among the people.
15 Thou hast with Thine arm redeemed Thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)
Thou hast redeemed thy people with thine arme, euen the sonnes of Iaakob and Ioseph. (Selah)
16 The waters saw Thee, O God; the waters saw Thee, they were in pain; the depths also trembled.
The waters sawe thee, O God: the waters sawe thee, and were afraide: yea, the depths trembled.
17 The clouds flooded forth waters; the skies sent out a sound; Thine arrows also went abroad.
The cloudes powred out water: the heauens gaue a sounde: yea, thine arrowes went abroade.
18 The voice of Thy thunder was in the whirlwind; the lightnings lighted up the world; the earth trembled and shook.
The voyce of thy thunder was rounde about: the lightnings lightened the worlde: the earth trembled and shooke.
19 Thy way was in the sea, and Thy path in the great waters, and Thy footsteps were not known.
Thy way is in the Sea, and thy paths in the great waters, and thy footesteps are not knowen.
20 Thou didst lead Thy people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Thou diddest leade thy people like sheepe by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
