תהילים 77

1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַֽל־[יְדוּתוּן] (ידיתון) לְאָסָף מִזְמֽוֹר׃ קוֹלִי אֶל־אֱלֹהִים וְאֶצְעָקָה קוֹלִי אֶל־אֱלֹהִים וְהַאֲזִין אֵלָֽי׃

My cry goes to God! Indeed, I cry to God for help, and for him to listen to me.

2 בְּיוֹם צָרָתִי אֲדֹנָי דָּרָשְׁתִּי יָדִי ׀ לַיְלָה נִגְּרָה וְלֹא תָפוּג מֵאֲנָה הִנָּחֵם נַפְשִֽׁי׃

In the day of my trouble I sought 'Adonay [Lord]. My hand was stretched out in the night, and didn’t get tired. My soul refused to be comforted.

3 אֶזְכְּרָה אֱלֹהִים וְאֶהֱמָיָה אָשִׂיחָה ׀ וְתִתְעַטֵּף רוּחִי סֶֽלָה׃

I remember God, and I groan. I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

4 אָחַזְתָּ שְׁמֻרוֹת עֵינָי נִפְעַמְתִּי וְלֹא אֲדַבֵּֽר׃

You hold my eyelids open. I am so troubled that I can’t speak.

5 חִשַּׁבְתִּי יָמִים מִקֶּדֶם שְׁנוֹת עוֹלָמִֽים׃

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

6 אֶזְכְּרָה נְגִינָתִי בַּלָּיְלָה עִם־לְבָבִי אָשִׂיחָה וַיְחַפֵּשׂ רוּחִֽי׃

I remember my song in the night. I consider in my own heart; my spirit diligently inquires:

7 הַלְעוֹלָמִים יִזְנַח ׀ אֲדֹנָי וְלֹא־יֹסִיף לִרְצוֹת עֽוֹד׃

“Will 'Adonay [Lord] reject us forever? Will he be favorable no more?

8 הֶאָפֵס לָנֶצַח חַסְדּוֹ גָּמַר אֹמֶר לְדֹר וָדֹֽר׃

Has his chesed ·loving-kindness· vanished forever? Does his promise fail for generations?

9 הֲשָׁכַח חַנּוֹת אֵל אִם־קָפַץ בְּאַף רַחֲמָיו סֶֽלָה׃

Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he, in anger, withheld his rachamim ·compassionate loves·?” (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

10 וָאֹמַר חַלּוֹתִי הִיא שְׁנוֹת יְמִין עֶלְיֽוֹן׃

Then I thought, “I will appeal to this: the years of the right hand of haElyon [the Most High].”

11 (אזכיר) [אֶזְכּוֹר] מַעַלְלֵי־יָהּ כִּֽי־אֶזְכְּרָה מִקֶּדֶם פִּלְאֶֽךָ׃

I will remember Yah’s deeds; for I will remember your wonders of old.

12 וְהָגִיתִי בְכׇל־פׇּעֳלֶךָ וּֽבַעֲלִילוֹתֶיךָ אָשִֽׂיחָה׃

I will also meditate on all your work, and consider your doings.

13 אֱלֹהִים בַּקֹּדֶשׁ דַּרְכֶּךָ מִי־אֵל גָּדוֹל כֵּאלֹהִֽים׃

Your way, God, is in the sanctuary. What deity is great like God?

14 אַתָּה הָאֵל עֹשֵׂה פֶלֶא הוֹדַעְתָּ בָעַמִּים עֻזֶּֽךָ׃

You are the God who does wonders. You have made your strength known among the peoples.

15 גָּאַלְתָּ בִּזְרוֹעַ עַמֶּךָ בְּנֵֽי־יַעֲקֹב וְיוֹסֵף סֶֽלָה׃

You have redeemed your people with your arm, the sons of Jacob [Supplanter] and Joseph [May he add]. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

16 רָאוּךָ מַּיִם ׀ אֱֽלֹהִים רָאוּךָ מַּיִם יָחִילוּ אַף יִרְגְּזוּ תְהֹמֽוֹת׃

The waters saw you, God. The waters saw you, and they writhed. The depths also convulsed.

17 זֹרְמוּ מַיִם ׀ עָבוֹת קוֹל נָֽתְנוּ שְׁחָקִים אַף־חֲצָצֶיךָ יִתְהַלָּֽכוּ׃

The clouds poured out water. The skies resounded with thunder. Your arrows also flashed around.

18 קוֹל רַֽעַמְךָ ׀ בַּגַּלְגַּל הֵאִירוּ בְרָקִים תֵּבֵל רָגְזָה וַתִּרְעַשׁ הָאָֽרֶץ׃

The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind. The lightnings lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook.

19 בַּיָּם דַּרְכֶּךָ (ושביליך) [וּֽשְׁבִילְךָ] בְּמַיִם רַבִּים וְעִקְּבוֹתֶיךָ לֹא נֹדָֽעוּ׃

Your way was through the sea; your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known.

20 נָחִיתָ כַצֹּאן עַמֶּךָ בְּֽיַד־מֹשֶׁה וְאַהֲרֹֽן׃

You led your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer].
