Psalms 77
77
Psalm 77#In Hebrew texts 77:1-20 is numbered 77:2-21.
For the director of music. For Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A psalm.
1I cried out to God for help;
I cried out to God to hear me.
2When I was in distress, I sought the Lord;
at night I stretched out untiring hands,
and I would not be comforted.
3I remembered you, God, and I groaned;
I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.#77:3 The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here and at the end of verses 9 and 15.
4You kept my eyes from closing;
I was too troubled to speak.
5I thought about the former days,
the years of long ago;
6I remembered my songs in the night.
My heart meditated and my spirit asked:
7“Will the Lord reject forever?
Will he never show his favor again?
8Has his unfailing love vanished forever?
Has his promise failed for all time?
9Has God forgotten to be merciful?
Has he in anger withheld his compassion?”
10Then I thought, “To this I will appeal:
the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand.
11I will remember the deeds of the Lord;
yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.
12I will consider all your works
and meditate on all your mighty deeds.”
13Your ways, God, are holy.
What god is as great as our God?
14You are the God who performs miracles;
you display your power among the peoples.
15With your mighty arm you redeemed your people,
the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.
16The waters saw you, God,
the waters saw you and writhed;
the very depths were convulsed.
17The clouds poured down water,
the heavens resounded with thunder;
your arrows flashed back and forth.
18Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind,
your lightning lit up the world;
the earth trembled and quaked.
19Your path led through the sea,
your way through the mighty waters,
though your footprints were not seen.
20You led your people like a flock
by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Tehillim (Psa) 77
77
1For the leader. For Y’dutun. A psalm of Asaf:
2I cry aloud to God,
aloud to God; and he hears me.
3On the day of my distress I am seeking Adonai;
my hands are lifted up;
my tears flow all night without ceasing;
my heart refuses comfort.
4When remembering God, I moan;
when I ponder, my spirit fails. (Selah)
5You hold my eyelids [and keep me from sleeping];
I am too troubled to speak.
6I think about the days of old,
the years of long ago;
7in the night I remember my song,
I commune with myself, my spirit inquires:
8“Will Adonai reject forever?
will he never show his favor again?
9Has his grace permanently disappeared?
Is his word to all generations done away?
10Has God forgotten to be compassionate?
Has he in anger withheld his mercy?” (Selah)
11Then I add, “That’s my weakness —
[supposing] the Most High’s right hand could change.”
12So I will remind myself of Yah’s doings;
yes, I will remember your wonders of old.
13I will meditate on your work
and think about what you have done.
14God, your way is in holiness.
What god is as great as God?
15You are the God who does wonders,
you revealed your strength to the peoples.
16With your arm you redeemed your people,
the descendants of Ya‘akov and Yosef. (Selah)
17The water saw you, God;
the water saw you and writhed in anguish,
agitated to its depths.
18The clouds poured water, the skies thundered,
and your arrows flashed here and there.
19The sound of your thunder was in the whirlwind,
the lightning flashes lit up the world,
the earth trembled and shook.
20Your way went through the sea,
your path through the turbulent waters;
but your footsteps could not be traced.
21You led your people like a flock
under the care of Moshe and Aharon.
