Psalms 77
1 [For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by Asaph.] My cry goes to God. Indeed, I cry to God for help, and for him to listen to me.
| לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַֽל־ידיתון יְדוּתוּן לְאָסָף מִזְמֽוֹר׃ קוֹלִי אֶל־אֱלֹהִים וְאֶצְעָקָה קוֹלִי אֶל־אֱלֹהִים וְהַאֲזִין אֵלָֽי׃ |
2 In the day of my trouble I sought the LORD. My hand was stretched out in the night, and did not get tired. My soul refused to be comforted.
| בְּיוֹם צָרָתִי אֲדֹנָי דָּרָשְׁתִּי יָדִי ׀ לַיְלָה נִגְּרָה וְלֹא תָפוּג מֵאֲנָה הִנָּחֵם נַפְשִֽׁי׃ |
3 I remember God, and I groan. I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. (Selah)
| אֶזְכְּרָה אֱלֹהִים וְאֶֽהֱמָיָה אָשִׂיחָה ׀ וְתִתְעַטֵּף רוּחִי סֶֽלָה׃ |
4 You hold my eyelids open. I am so troubled that I can't speak.
| אָחַזְתָּ שְׁמֻרוֹת עֵינָי נִפְעַמְתִּי וְלֹא אֲדַבֵּֽר׃ |
5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
| חִשַּׁבְתִּי יָמִים מִקֶּדֶם שְׁנוֹת עוֹלָמִֽים׃ |
6 I remember my song in the night. I consider in my own heart; my spirit diligently inquires:
| אֶֽזְכְּרָה נְגִינָתִי בַּלָּיְלָה עִם־לְבָבִי אָשִׂיחָה וַיְחַפֵּשׂ רוּחִֽי׃ |
7 "Will the LORD reject us forever? Will he be favorable no more?
| הַֽלְעוֹלָמִים יִזְנַח ׀ אֲדֹנָי וְלֹֽא־יֹסִיף לִרְצוֹת עֽוֹד׃ |
8 Has his loving kindness vanished forever? Does his promise fail for generations?
| הֶאָפֵס לָנֶצַח חַסְדּוֹ גָּמַר אֹמֶר לְדֹר וָדֹֽר׃ |
9 Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he, in anger, withheld his compassion?" (Selah)
| הֲשָׁכַח חַנּוֹת אֵל אִם־קָפַץ בְּאַף רַחֲמָיו סֶֽלָה׃ |
10 And I thought, "This is my wounding, that the right hand of the Most High has changed."
| וָאֹמַר חַלּוֹתִי הִיא שְׁנוֹת יְמִין עֶלְיֽוֹן׃ |
11 I will remember the works of the LORD; for I will remember your wonders of old.
| אזכיר אֶזְכּוֹר מַֽעַלְלֵי־יָהּ כִּֽי־אֶזְכְּרָה מִקֶּדֶם פִּלְאֶֽךָ׃ |
12 I will also meditate on all your work, and consider your doings.
| וְהָגִיתִי בְכָל־פָּעֳלֶךָ וּֽבַעֲלִילוֹתֶיךָ אָשִֽׂיחָה׃ |
13 Your way, God, is in the sanctuary. What god is great like God?
| אֱלֹהִים בַּקֹּדֶשׁ דַּרְכֶּךָ מִי־אֵל גָּדוֹל כֵּֽאלֹהִֽים׃ |
14 You are the God who does wonders. You have made your strength known among the peoples.
| אַתָּה הָאֵל עֹשֵׂה פֶלֶא הוֹדַעְתָּ בָעַמִּים עֻזֶּֽךָ׃ |
15 You have redeemed your people with your arm, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)
| גָּאַלְתָּ בִּזְרוֹעַ עַמֶּךָ בְּנֵי־יַעֲקֹב וְיוֹסֵף סֶֽלָה׃ |
16 The waters saw you, God. The waters saw you, and they writhed. The depths also convulsed.
| רָאוּךָ מַּיִם ׀ אֱֽלֹהִים רָאוּךָ מַּיִם יָחִילוּ אַף יִרְגְּזוּ תְהֹמֽוֹת׃ |
17 The clouds poured out water. The skies resounded with thunder. Your arrows also flashed around.
| זֹרְמוּ מַיִם ׀ עָבוֹת קוֹל נָתְנוּ שְׁחָקִים אַף־חֲצָצֶיךָ יִתְהַלָּֽכוּ׃ |
18 The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind. The lightnings lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook.
| קוֹל רַעַמְךָ ׀ בַּגַּלְגַּל הֵאִירוּ בְרָקִים תֵּבֵל רָגְזָה וַתִּרְעַשׁ הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
19 Your way was through the sea; your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known.
| בַּיָּם דַּרְכֶּךָ ושביליך וּֽשְׁבִֽילְךָ בְּמַיִם רַבִּים וְעִקְּבוֹתֶיךָ לֹא נֹדָֽעוּ׃ |
20 You led your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
| נָחִיתָ כַצֹּאן עַמֶּךָ בְּֽיַד־מֹשֶׁה וְאַהֲרֹֽן׃ |
