Psalm 77
77
To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph.
1I Cried unto God with my voice,
Even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.
2In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord:
My sore ran in the night, and ceased not: My soul refused to be comforted.
3I remembered God, and was troubled:
I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
4Thou holdest mine eyes waking:
I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5I have considered the days of old,
The years of ancient times.
6I call to remembrance my song in the night:
I commune with mine own heart: And my spirit made diligent search.
7Will the Lord cast off for ever?
And will he be favourable no more?
8Is his mercy clean gone for ever?
Doth his promise fail for evermore?
9Hath God forgotten to be gracious?
Hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
10And I said, This is my infirmity:
But I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.
11I will remember the works of the LORD:
Surely I will remember thy wonders of old.
12I will meditate also of all thy work,
And talk of thy doings.
13Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary:
Who is so great a God as our God?
14Thou art the God that doest wonders:
Thou hast declared thy strength among the people.
15Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people,
The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
16The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid:
The depths also were troubled.
17The clouds poured out water: The skies sent out a sound:
Thine arrows also went abroad.
18The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven:
The lightnings lightened the world: The earth trembled and shook.
19Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters,
And thy footsteps are not known.
20Thou leddest thy people like a flock
By the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Psalm 77
For the choir director; according to Jeduthun; a psalm by Asaph.
1Loudly, I cried to God.
Loudly, I cried to God
so that he would open his ears to ⌞hear⌟ me.
2On the day I was in trouble, I went to the Lord for help.
At night I stretched out my hands in prayer without growing tired.
Yet, my soul refused to be comforted.
3I sigh as I remember God.
I begin to lose hope as I think about him. Selah
4(You keep my eyelids open.)
I am so upset that I cannot speak.
5I have considered the days of old,
the years long ago.
6I remember my song in the night
and reflect ⌞on it⌟.
My spirit searches ⌞for an answer⌟:
7Will the Lord reject ⌞me⌟ for all time?
Will he ever accept me?
8Has his mercy come to an end forever?
Has his promise been canceled throughout every generation?
9Has God forgotten to be merciful?
Has he locked up his compassion because of his anger? Selah
10Then I said, “It makes me feel sick
that the power of the Most High is no longer the same.”
11I will remember the deeds of the Lord.
I will remember your ancient miracles.
12I will reflect on all your actions
and think about what you have done.
13O God, your ways are holy!
What god is as great as our God?
14You are the God who performs miracles.
You have made your strength known among the nations.
15With your might you have defended your people,
the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
16The water saw you, O God.
The water saw you and shook.
Even the depths of the sea trembled.
17The clouds poured out water.
The sky thundered.
Even your arrows flashed in every direction.
18The sound of your thunder rumbled in the sky.
Streaks of lightning lit up the world.
The earth trembled and shook.
19Your road went through the sea.
Your path went through raging water,
but your footprints could not be seen.
20Like a shepherd, you led your people.
You had Moses and Aaron take them by the hand.
