תְהִלִּים 77

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

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;

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

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;

3 אֶזְכְּרָ֣ה אֱלֹהִ֣ים וְאֶֽהֱמָיָ֑ה אָשִׂ֓יחָה ׀ וְתִתְעַטֵּ֖ף רוּחִ֣י סֶֽלָה׃

I remember God and I murmur, I muse, and my spirit swooneth. (Selah)

4 אָ֭חַזְתָּ שְׁמֻרֹ֣ות עֵינָ֑י נִ֝פְעַ֗מְתִּי וְלֹ֣א אֲדַבֵּֽר׃

Thou hast held, watching, mine eyes, I was driven to and fro, and could not speak;

5 חִשַּׁ֣בְתִּי יָמִ֣ים מִקֶּ֑דֶם שְׁ֝נֹ֗ות עֹולָמִֽים׃

I reasoned, Of the days of aforetime, Of the years of by-gone ages;

6 אֶֽזְכְּרָ֥ה נְגִינָתִ֗י בַּ֫לָּ֥יְלָה עִם־לְבָבִ֥י אָשִׂ֑יחָה וַיְחַפֵּ֥שׂ רוּחִֽי׃

I remember my song in the night, —With my own heart, I commune, And my spirit, maketh search: —

7 הַֽ֭לְעֹולָמִים יִזְנַ֥ח ׀ אֲדֹנָ֑י וְלֹֽא־יֹסִ֖יף לִרְצֹ֣ות עֹֽוד׃

For ages, will My Lord reject? And, not again, grant acceptance any more?

8 הֶאָפֵ֣ס לָנֶ֣צַח חַסְדֹּ֑ו גָּ֥מַר אֹ֝֗מֶר לְדֹ֣ר וָדֹֽר׃

Hath his lovingkindness, come to a perpetual end? Hath his word failed to generation after generation?

9 הֲשָׁכַ֣ח חַנֹּ֣ות אֵ֑ל אִם־קָפַ֥ץ בְּ֝אַ֗ף רַחֲמָ֥יו סֶֽלָה׃

Hath GOD, forgotten to show favour? Or hath he shut up, in anger, his compassions? (Selah)

10 וָ֭אֹמַר חַלֹּ֣ותִי הִ֑יא שְׁ֝נֹ֗ות יְמִ֣ין עֶלְיֹֽון׃

Then said I—An affliction to me, it is, The changing of the right hand of the Most High.

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

I will remember the doings of Yah, Surely I will remember, out of aforetime, thy wonderful way;

12 וְהָגִ֥יתִי בְכָל־פָּעֳלֶ֑ךָ וּֽבַעֲלִ֖ילֹותֶ֣יךָ אָשִֽׂיחָה׃

And will talk to myself of all thy work, And, of thy doings, will I muse: —

13 אֱ֭לֹהִים בַּקֹּ֣דֶשׁ דַּרְכֶּ֑ךָ מִי־אֵ֥ל גָּ֝דֹ֗ול כֵּֽאלֹהִֽים׃

O God, in the sanctuary, is thy way, —Who is a great GOD like Elohim?

14 אַתָּ֣ה הָ֭אֵל עֹ֣שֵׂה פֶ֑לֶא הֹודַ֖עְתָּ בָעַמִּ֣ים עֻזֶּֽךָ׃

Thou, art GOD, doing wonderfully, —Thou hast made known, among the peoples, thy might;

15 גָּאַ֣לְתָּ בִּזְרֹ֣ועַ עַמֶּ֑ךָ בְּנֵי־יַעֲקֹ֖ב וְיֹוסֵ֣ף סֶֽלָה׃

Thou didst redeem, with thine arm—Thy people, Thy sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)

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

The waters saw thee, O God, The waters saw thee, They were in birth-throes, Yea the resounding deeps were stirred;

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

The clouds, poured down waters, The skies uttered, a voice, Yea, thine arrows, flew hither and thither;

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

The, voice of thy thunder, was in the whirlwind, Thy lightnings illumined the world, The earth, trembled and quaked;

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

In the sea, was thy way, And, thy path, in the mighty waters, And, thy footprints, could not be known:

20 נָחִ֣יתָ כַצֹּ֣אן עַמֶּ֑ךָ בְּֽיַד־מֹשֶׁ֥ה וְאַהֲרֹֽן׃

Thou didst lead, like a flock, thy people, By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
