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.

Psalms 77
77
To the choirmaster: according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.
1I cry aloud to God,
aloud to God, that he may hear me.
2In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord;
in the night my hand is stretched out without wearying;
my soul refuses to be comforted.
3I think of God, and I moan;
I meditate, and my spirit faints. Selah
4Thou dost hold my eyelids from closing;
I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5I consider the days of old,
I remember the years long ago.
6I commune#77.6 Gk Syr: Heb my music with my heart in the night;
I meditate and search my spirit:#77.6 Syr Jerome: Heb my spirit searches
7“Will the Lord spurn for ever,
and never again be favorable?
8Has his steadfast love for ever ceased?
Are his promises at an end for all time?
9Has God forgotten to be gracious?
Has he in anger shut up his compassion?” Selah
10And I say, “It is my grief
that the right hand of the Most High has changed.”
11I will call to mind the deeds of the Lord;
yea, I will remember thy wonders of old.
12I will meditate on all thy work,
and muse on thy mighty deeds.
13Thy way, O God, is holy.
What god is great like our God?
14Thou art the God who workest wonders,
who hast manifested thy might among the peoples.
15Thou didst with thy arm redeem thy people,
the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
16When the waters saw thee, O God,
when the waters saw thee, they were afraid,
yea, the deep trembled.
17The clouds poured out water;
the skies gave forth thunder;
thy arrows flashed on every side.
18The crash of thy thunder was in the whirlwind;
thy lightnings lighted up the world;
the earth trembled and shook.
19Thy way was through the sea,
thy path through the great waters;
yet thy footprints were unseen.
20Thou didst lead thy people like a flock
by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
