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.

Remember the Wonders
1For the music director, on Jeduthun: a psalm of Asaph.
2My voice to God—and I cried out, my voice to God—and He heard me!
3In the day of my trouble I seek my Lord. At night my hand stretches out untiringly. My soul refuses to be comforted.
4I remember God and I moan. I muse, and my spirit grows faint. Selah
5You hold my eyelids open— I am so troubled—I cannot speak.
6I ponder the days of old, the years long ago.
7In the night I remember my song. I meditate with my heart and my spirit is searching.
8“Will the Lord reject forever and never again show favor?
9Has His mercy vanished forever? Has His promise come to an end forever?
10Has God forgotten to be gracious? Or has He in anger withdrawn his mercies?” Selah
11Then I said: “It wounds me— that the right hand of Elyon has changed.”
12I will remember the deeds of Adonai. Yes, I will muse about Your wonders of old.
13I will meditate also on all Your work and consider Your deeds.”
14O God, Your way is holy. What god is great like God?
15You are the God who works wonders. You have made Your power known among the peoples.
16With your arm You redeemed Your people, the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
17The waters saw You, O God, the waters saw You and writhed, even the depths shook.
18The clouds poured out water, the skies resounded, Your arrows flashed back and forth.
19The sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind. Lightning lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook.
20Your way was in the sea, and Your path in the mighty waters, but Your footprints were not seen.
21You led Your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
