תְהִלִּים 77

1 לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ עַֽל־יְדִיתוּן (יְדוּת֗וּן) לְאָסָ֥ף מִזְמֹֽור׃ קֹולִ֣י אֶל־אֱלֹהִ֣ים וְאֶצְעָ֑קָה קֹולִ֥י אֶל־אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים וְהַאֲזִ֥ין אֵלָֽי׃

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.

2 בְּיֹ֥ום צָרָתִי֮ אֲדֹנָ֪י דָּ֫רָ֥שְׁתִּי יָדִ֤י ׀ לַ֣יְלָה נִ֭גְּרָה וְלֹ֣א תָפ֑וּג מֵאֲנָ֖ה הִנָּחֵ֣ם נַפְשִֽׁי׃

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.

3 אֶזְכְּרָ֣ה אֱלֹהִ֣ים וְאֶֽהֱמָיָ֑ה אָשִׂ֓יחָה ׀ וְתִתְעַטֵּ֖ף רוּחִ֣י סֶֽלָה׃

I remember God, and I groan. I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. (Selah)

4 אָ֭חַזְתָּ שְׁמֻרֹ֣ות עֵינָ֑י נִ֝פְעַ֗מְתִּי וְלֹ֣א אֲדַבֵּֽר׃

You hold my eyelids open. I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

5 חִשַּׁ֣בְתִּי יָמִ֣ים מִקֶּ֑דֶם שְׁ֝נֹ֗ות עֹולָמִֽים׃

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

6 אֶֽזְכְּרָ֥ה נְגִינָתִ֗י בַּ֫לָּ֥יְלָה עִם־לְבָבִ֥י אָשִׂ֑יחָה וַיְחַפֵּ֥שׂ רוּחִֽי׃

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

7 הַֽ֭לְעֹולָמִים יִזְנַ֥ח ׀ אֲדֹנָ֑י וְלֹֽא־יֹסִ֖יף לִרְצֹ֣ות עֹֽוד׃

“Will the Lord reject us forever? Will he be favorable no more?

8 הֶאָפֵ֣ס לָנֶ֣צַח חַסְדֹּ֑ו גָּ֥מַר אֹ֝֗מֶר לְדֹ֣ר וָדֹֽר׃

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

9 הֲשָׁכַ֣ח חַנֹּ֣ות אֵ֑ל אִם־קָפַ֥ץ בְּ֝אַ֗ף רַחֲמָ֥יו סֶֽלָה׃

Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he, in anger, withheld his compassion?” (Selah)

10 וָ֭אֹמַר חַלֹּ֣ותִי הִ֑יא שְׁ֝נֹ֗ות יְמִ֣ין עֶלְיֹֽון׃

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

11 אַזְכִּיר (אֶזְכֹּ֥ור) מַֽעַלְלֵי־יָ֑הּ כִּֽי־אֶזְכְּרָ֖ה מִקֶּ֣דֶם פִּלְאֶֽךָ׃

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

12 וְהָגִ֥יתִי בְכָל־פָּעֳלֶ֑ךָ וּֽבַעֲלִ֖ילֹותֶ֣יךָ אָשִֽׂיחָה׃

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

13 אֱ֭לֹהִים בַּקֹּ֣דֶשׁ דַּרְכֶּ֑ךָ מִי־אֵ֥ל גָּ֝דֹ֗ול כֵּֽאלֹהִֽים׃

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

14 אַתָּ֣ה הָ֭אֵל עֹ֣שֵׂה פֶ֑לֶא הֹודַ֖עְתָּ בָעַמִּ֣ים עֻזֶּֽךָ׃

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

15 גָּאַ֣לְתָּ בִּזְרֹ֣ועַ עַמֶּ֑ךָ בְּנֵי־יַעֲקֹ֖ב וְיֹוסֵ֣ף סֶֽלָה׃

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

16 רָ֘א֤וּךָ מַּ֨יִם ׀ אֱ‍ֽלֹהִ֗ים רָא֣וּךָ מַּ֣יִם יָחִ֑ילוּ אַ֝֗ף יִרְגְּז֥וּ תְהֹמֹֽות׃

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

17 זֹ֤רְמוּ מַ֨יִם ׀ עָבֹ֗ות קֹ֖ול נָתְנ֣וּ שְׁחָקִ֑ים אַף־חֲ֝צָצֶ֗יךָ יִתְהַלָּֽכוּ׃

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

18 קֹ֤ול רַעַמְךָ֨ ׀ בַּגַּלְגַּ֗ל הֵאִ֣ירוּ בְרָקִ֣ים תֵּבֵ֑ל רָגְזָ֖ה וַתִּרְעַ֣שׁ הָאָֽרֶץ׃

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

19 בַּיָּ֤ם דַּרְכֶּ֗ךָ וּשְׁבִילֶיךָ (וּֽ֭שְׁבִֽילְךָ) בְּמַ֣יִם רַבִּ֑ים וְ֝עִקְּבֹותֶ֗יךָ לֹ֣א נֹדָֽעוּ׃

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

20 נָחִ֣יתָ כַצֹּ֣אן עַמֶּ֑ךָ בְּֽיַד־מֹשֶׁ֥ה וְאַהֲרֹֽן׃

You led your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
