תהילים 77

1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַֽל־ידיתון יְדוּתוּן לְאָסָף מִזְמֽוֹר׃ קוֹלִי אֶל־אֱלֹהִים וְאֶצְעָקָה קוֹלִי אֶל־אֱלֹהִים וְהַאֲזִין אֵלָֽי׃

For Jeduthun, the music director. A psalm of Asaph. I cry out to God for help—I even shout. If only he would listen to me!

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

When I was in trouble I prayed to the Lord. All night long I stretched out my hands to him in prayer but nothing brought me any comfort.

3 אֶזְכְּרָה אֱלֹהִים וְאֶֽהֱמָיָה אָשִׂיחָה ׀ וְתִתְעַטֵּף רוּחִי סֶֽלָה׃

I thought about God, groaning loudly; I meditated on him, but I was discouraged. (Selah)

4 אָחַזְתָּ שְׁמֻרוֹת עֵינָי נִפְעַמְתִּי וְלֹא אֲדַבֵּֽר׃

You stop me going to sleep; I'm so upset I can't even talk.

5 חִשַּׁבְתִּי יָמִים מִקֶּדֶם שְׁנוֹת עוֹלָמִֽים׃

I think of the old days, years ago.

6 אֶֽזְכְּרָה נְגִינָתִי בַּלָּיְלָה עִם־לְבָבִי אָשִׂיחָה וַיְחַפֵּשׂ רוּחִֽי׃

I remember the songs I sung in the night. I meditate and ask myself:

7 הַֽלְעוֹלָמִים יִזְנַח ׀ אֲדֹנָי וְלֹֽא־יֹסִיף לִרְצוֹת עֽוֹד׃

Has the Lord given up on me forever? Won't he ever be pleased with me again?

8 הֶאָפֵס לָנֶצַח חַסְדּוֹ גָּמַר אֹמֶר לְדֹר וָדֹֽר׃

Has his trustworthy love disappeared forever? Have his promises permanently ended?

9 הֲשָׁכַח חַנּוֹת אֵל אִם־קָפַץ בְּאַף רַחֲמָיו סֶֽלָה׃

Has God forgotten to be kind? Has he angrily slammed the door shut on his compassion? (Selah)

10 וָאֹמַר חַלּוֹתִי הִיא שְׁנוֹת יְמִין עֶלְיֽוֹן׃

Then I said, “This is what hurts me the most: the Most High doesn't treat me the way he used to.”

11 אזכיר אֶזְכּוֹר מַֽעַלְלֵי־יָהּ כִּֽי־אֶזְכְּרָה מִקֶּדֶם פִּלְאֶֽךָ׃

I remember what you have done, Lord; I remember all the wonderful things you did long ago.

12 וְהָגִיתִי בְכָל־פָּעֳלֶךָ וּֽבַעֲלִילוֹתֶיךָ אָשִֽׂיחָה׃

I will think about all you have accomplished; I will think deeply about how you have acted.

13 אֱלֹהִים בַּקֹּדֶשׁ דַּרְכֶּךָ מִי־אֵל גָּדוֹל כֵּֽאלֹהִֽים׃

God, your ways are holy; is any god as great as you?

14 אַתָּה הָאֵל עֹשֵׂה פֶלֶא הוֹדַעְתָּ בָעַמִּים עֻזֶּֽךָ׃

You are the God who does wonderful things! You have revealed your power to the nations.

15 גָּאַלְתָּ בִּזְרוֹעַ עַמֶּךָ בְּנֵי־יַעֲקֹב וְיוֹסֵף סֶֽלָה׃

Through your strength you saved your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)

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

When the waters saw you, God, when they looked they trembled! Yes, they shook down to the very depths!

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

The clouds poured rain down; the skies crashed with thunder; your lightning flew like arrows.

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

Your thunder rumbled from the whirlwind; lightning flashes lit up the world; the earth quaked and shook.

19 בַּיָּם דַּרְכֶּךָ ושביליך וּֽשְׁבִֽילְךָ בְּמַיִם רַבִּים וְעִקְּבוֹתֶיךָ לֹא נֹדָֽעוּ׃

Your way led through the sea; your path passed through the deep sea; yet your footprints were invisible.

20 נָחִיתָ כַצֹּאן עַמֶּךָ בְּֽיַד־מֹשֶׁה וְאַהֲרֹֽן׃

You led your people like a flock, shepherded by Moses and Aaron.
