< 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 hath given ear unto 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;
In a day of my distress the Lord I sought, My hand by night hath been spread out, And it doth not cease, My soul hath 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 feeble is my spirit. (Selah)
4 Thou hast held, watching, mine eyes, I was driven to and fro, and could not speak;
Thou hast taken hold of the watches of mine eyes, I have been moved, and I speak not.
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, With my heart I meditate, and my spirit doth search diligently:
7 For ages, will My Lord reject? And, not again, grant acceptance any more?
To the ages doth the Lord cast off? Doth He add to be pleased no more?
8 Hath his lovingkindness, come to a perpetual end? Hath his word failed to generation after generation?
Hath His kindness ceased for ever? The saying failed to all generations?
9 Hath GOD, forgotten to show favour? Or hath he shut up, in anger, his compassions? (Selah)
Hath God forgotten [His] favours? Hath He shut up in anger His mercies? (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 Jah, For I remember of old Thy wonders,
12 And will talk to myself of all thy work, And, of thy doings, will I muse: —
And I have meditated on all Thy working, And I talk concerning Thy doings.
13 O God, in the sanctuary, is thy way, —Who is a great GOD like Elohim?
O God, in holiness [is] Thy way, Who [is] a great god like God?
14 Thou, art GOD, doing wonderfully, —Thou hast made known, among the peoples, thy might;
Thou [art] the God doing wonders. Thou hast made known among the peoples Thy strength,
15 Thou didst redeem, with thine arm—Thy people, Thy sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)
Thou hast redeemed with strength Thy people, 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 Thee, O God, The waters have seen Thee, 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;
Poured out waters have thick clouds, The skies have given forth a noise, Also — Thine 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 Thy thunder [is] in the spheres, Lightnings have lightened the world, The earth hath trembled, yea, it shaketh.
19 In the sea, was thy way, And, thy path, in the mighty waters, And, thy footprints, could not be known:
In the sea [is] Thy way, And Thy paths [are] in many waters, And Thy tracks have not been known.
20 Thou didst lead, like a flock, thy people, By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Thou hast led as a flock Thy people, By the hand of Moses and Aaron!
