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 (Psalms) 77
77
1My voice is to Elohim, and I cry; My voice is to Elohim, and He listened to me.
2In the day of my distress I sought יהוה; My hand was stretched out in the night And it did not cease, My being refused to be comforted.
3I remembered Elohim, and groaned; I complained, and my spirit grew faint. Selah.
4You ceased the watches of my eyes, I was too troubled to speak.
5I have thought about the days of old, The years long past.
6I remember my song in the night, I meditate within my heart, And my spirit searches diligently.
7Would יהוה reject forever, And never again be pleased?
8Has His loving-commitment ceased forever, Has the promise failed for all generations?
9Has Ěl forgotten to show favour? Has He shut up His compassions in displeasure? Selah.
10And I said, “This is my grief: That the right hand of the Most High has changed.”
11I remember the deeds of Yah, For I remember Your wonders of old.
12And I shall meditate on all Your work, And talk of Your deeds.
13Your way, O Elohim, is in Set-apartness;#See Isa. 35:8 Who is a great Ěl like Elohim?
14You are the Ěl who does wonders; You have made known Your strength among the peoples.
15By Your arm You have redeemed Your people, The sons of Ya‛aqoḇ and Yosĕph. Selah.
16The waters saw You, O Elohim; The waters saw You, they were afraid; The depths also trembled.
17The clouds poured out water; The heavens rumbled; Also, Your arrows flashed back and forth.
18The voice of Your thunder rolled along; Lightnings lit up the world; The earth trembled and shook.
19Your way was in the sea, And Your path in the great waters, And Your footsteps were not known.
20You did lead Your people like a flock By the hand of Mosheh and Aharon.
