Psalms 77

1 I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto 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 the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused 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 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. (Selah)

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

4 You hold mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

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

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

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

6 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.

I remember my song in the night; I muse in 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 favourable no more?

8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? does his promise fail for evermore?

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

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

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

10 And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years 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 will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember your wonders of old.

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

12 I will meditate also of all your work, and talk of your doings.

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

13 Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary: 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 You are the God that do wonders: you have declared your strength among the people.

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

15 You have with your arm redeemed your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)

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

16 The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.

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

17 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: your arrows also went abroad.

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

18 The voice of your thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.

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

19 Your way is in the sea, and your path in the great waters, and your footsteps are not known.

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

20 You led your 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.
