תְהִלִּים 77

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

Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of Asaph. I cried to the Lord with my voice; to God with my voice, and he gave ear to me.

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

In the day of my trouble I sought God, with my hands lifted up to him in the night, and I was not deceived. My soul refused to be comforted:

3 אֶזְכְּרָ֣ה אֱלֹהִ֣ים וְאֶֽהֱמָיָ֑ה אָשִׂ֓יחָה ׀ וְתִתְעַטֵּ֖ף רוּחִ֣י סֶֽלָה׃

I remembered God, and was delighted, and was exercised, and my spirit swooned away.

4 אָ֭חַזְתָּ שְׁמֻרֹ֣ות עֵינָ֑י נִ֝פְעַ֗מְתִּי וְלֹ֣א אֲדַבֵּֽר׃

My eyes prevented the watches: I was troubled, and I spoke not.

5 חִשַּׁ֣בְתִּי יָמִ֣ים מִקֶּ֑דֶם שְׁ֝נֹ֗ות עֹולָמִֽים׃

I thought upon the days of old: and I had in my mind the eternal years.

6 אֶֽזְכְּרָ֥ה נְגִינָתִ֗י בַּ֫לָּ֥יְלָה עִם־לְבָבִ֥י אָשִׂ֑יחָה וַיְחַפֵּ֥שׂ רוּחִֽי׃

And I meditated in the night with my own heart: and I was exercised and I swept my spirit.

7 הַֽ֭לְעֹולָמִים יִזְנַ֥ח ׀ אֲדֹנָ֑י וְלֹֽא־יֹסִ֖יף לִרְצֹ֣ות עֹֽוד׃

Will God then cast off for ever? or will he never be more favourable again?

8 הֶאָפֵ֣ס לָנֶ֣צַח חַסְדֹּ֑ו גָּ֥מַר אֹ֝֗מֶר לְדֹ֣ר וָדֹֽר׃

Or will he cut off his mercy for ever, from generation to generation?

9 הֲשָׁכַ֣ח חַנֹּ֣ות אֵ֑ל אִם־קָפַ֥ץ בְּ֝אַ֗ף רַחֲמָ֥יו סֶֽלָה׃

Or will God forget to shew mercy? or will he in his anger shut up his mercies?

10 וָ֭אֹמַר חַלֹּ֣ותִי הִ֑יא שְׁ֝נֹ֗ות יְמִ֣ין עֶלְיֹֽון׃

And I said, Now have I begun: this is the change of the right hand of the most High.

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

I remembered the works of the Lord: for I will be mindful of thy wonders from the beginning.

12 וְהָגִ֥יתִי בְכָל־פָּעֳלֶ֑ךָ וּֽבַעֲלִ֖ילֹותֶ֣יךָ אָשִֽׂיחָה׃

And I will meditate on all thy works: and will be employed in thy inventions.

13 אֱ֭לֹהִים בַּקֹּ֣דֶשׁ דַּרְכֶּ֑ךָ מִי־אֵ֥ל גָּ֝דֹ֗ול כֵּֽאלֹהִֽים׃

Thy way, O God, is in the holy place: who is the great God like our God?

14 אַתָּ֣ה הָ֭אֵל עֹ֣שֵׂה פֶ֑לֶא הֹודַ֖עְתָּ בָעַמִּ֣ים עֻזֶּֽךָ׃

Thou art the God that dost wonders. Thou hast made thy power known among the nations:

15 גָּאַ֣לְתָּ בִּזְרֹ֣ועַ עַמֶּ֑ךָ בְּנֵי־יַעֲקֹ֖ב וְיֹוסֵ֣ף סֶֽלָה׃

With thy arm thou hast redeemed thy people the children of Jacob and of Joseph.

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

The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee: and they were afraid, and the depths were troubled.

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

Great was the noise of the waters: the clouds sent out a sound. For thy arrows pass:

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

The voice of thy thunder in a wheel. Thy lightnings enlightened the world: the earth shook and trembled.

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

Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters: and thy footsteps shall not be known.

20 נָחִ֣יתָ כַצֹּ֣אן עַמֶּ֑ךָ בְּֽיַד־מֹשֶׁ֥ה וְאַהֲרֹֽן׃

Thou hast conducted thy people like sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
