Psalms 77
1 To the Chief Musician. On "Jeduthun." Asaph’s, a Melody. With my voice—unto God, will I make outcry, With my voice unto God, and he will give ear unto 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 distress—unto My Lord, will I seek, My hand, by night, hath been outstretched and never once became slack, My soul, hath refused to be consoled;
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 remember God and I murmur, I muse, and my spirit swooneth. (Selah)
I remember God, and make a noise, I meditate, and my spirit is feeble. (Selah)
4 Thou hast held, watching, mine eyes, I was driven to and fro, and could not speak;
You have taken hold of the watches of my eyes, I have been moved, and I do not speak.
5 I reasoned, Of the days of aforetime, Of the years of by-gone ages;
I have reckoned the days of old, The years of the ages.
6 I remember my song in the night, —With my own heart, I commune, And my spirit, maketh search: —
I remember my music in the night, I meditate with my heart, and my spirit searches diligently:
7 For ages, will My Lord reject? And, not again, grant acceptance any more?
Does the Lord cast off for all ages? Does He add to be pleased no longer?
8 Hath his lovingkindness, come to a perpetual end? Hath his word failed to generation after generation?
Has His kindness ceased forever? The saying failed from generation to generation?
9 Hath GOD, forgotten to show favour? Or hath he shut up, in anger, his compassions? (Selah)
Has God forgotten [His] favors? Has He shut up His mercies in anger? (Selah)
10 Then said I—An affliction to me, it is, The changing 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 will remember the doings of Yah, Surely I will remember, out of aforetime, thy wonderful way;
I mention the doings of YAH, For I remember Your wonders of old,
12 And will talk to myself of all thy work, And, of thy doings, will I muse: —
And I have meditated on all Your working, And I talk concerning Your doings.
13 O God, in the sanctuary, is thy way, —Who is a great GOD like Elohim?
O God, Your way [is] in holiness, Who [is] a great god like God?
14 Thou, art GOD, doing wonderfully, —Thou hast made known, among the peoples, thy might;
You [are] the God doing wonders. You have made Your strength known among the peoples,
15 Thou didst redeem, with thine arm—Thy people, Thy sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)
You have redeemed Your people with strength, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)
16 The waters saw thee, O God, The waters saw thee, They were in birth-throes, Yea the resounding deeps were stirred;
The waters have seen You, O God, The waters have seen You, They are afraid—also depths are troubled.
17 The clouds, poured down waters, The skies uttered, a voice, Yea, thine arrows, flew hither and thither;
Thick clouds have poured out waters, The skies have given forth a noise, Also—Your arrows go up and down.
18 The, voice of thy thunder, was in the whirlwind, Thy lightnings illumined the world, The earth, trembled and quaked;
The voice of Your thunder [is] in the spheres, Lightnings have lightened the world, The earth has trembled, indeed, it shakes.
19 In the sea, was thy way, And, thy path, in the mighty waters, And, thy footprints, could not be known:
Your way [is] in the sea, And Your paths in many waters, And Your tracks have not been known.
20 Thou didst lead, like a flock, thy people, By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
You have led Your people as a flock, By the hand of Moses and Aaron!
