Psalms 77

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.

Psalm 77
Comfort in Trouble from Recalling God’s Mighty Deeds.
To the Chief Musician; according to Jeduthun [one of David’s three chief musicians, founder of an official musical family]. A Psalm of Asaph.
1My voice rises to God, and I will cry aloud;
My voice rises to God, and He will hear me.
2In the day of my trouble I [desperately] sought the Lord;
In the night my hand was #77:2 Lit and did not grow numb.stretched out [in prayer] without weariness;
My soul refused to be comforted.
3I remember God; then I am disquieted and I groan;
I sigh [in prayer], and my spirit grows faint. Selah.
4You have held my eyelids open;
I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5I have considered the ancient days,
The years [of prosperity] of long, long ago.
6I will remember my song in the night;
I will meditate with my heart,
And my spirit searches:
7¶Will the Lord reject forever?
And will He never be favorable again?
8Has His lovingkindness ceased forever?
Have His promises ended for all time?
9Has God forgotten to be gracious?
Or has He in anger withdrawn His compassion? Selah.
10And I said, “This is my grief,
That the right hand of the Most High has changed [and His lovingkindness is withheld].”
11¶I will [solemnly] remember the deeds of the Lord;
Yes, I will [wholeheartedly] remember Your wonders of old.
12I will meditate on all Your works
And thoughtfully consider all Your [great and wondrous] deeds.
13Your way, O God, is holy [far from sin and guilt].
What god is great like our God?
14You are the [awesome] God who works [powerful] wonders;
You have demonstrated Your power among the people.
15You have with Your [great] arm redeemed Your people,
The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
16¶The waters [of the Red Sea] saw You, O God;
The waters saw You, they were in anguish;
The deeps also trembled.
17The clouds poured down water;
The skies sent out a sound [of rumbling thunder];
Your arrows (lightning) flashed here and there.
18The voice of Your thunder was in the #77:18 Lit wheel, possibly referring instead to the wheels on God’s chariot.whirlwind;
The lightnings illumined the world;
The earth trembled and shook.
19Your way [of escape for Your people] was through the sea,
And Your paths through the great waters,
And Your footprints were not traceable.
20You led Your people like a flock
By the hand of Moses and Aaron [to the promised goal].
