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.

Psalms 77
77
To the director, Jeduthun.#Psalm 77 Jeduthun Or “and to Jeduthun,” one of the three main temple musicians. See 1 Chron. 9:16; 16:38-42. One of Asaph’s songs.
1I cry out to God for help.
I cry out to you, God; listen to me!
2My Lord, in my time of trouble I came to you.
I reached out for you all night long.
My soul refused to be comforted.
3I thought about you, God,
and tried to tell you how I felt, but I could not.
4You would not let me sleep.
I tried to say something, but I was too upset.
5I kept thinking about the past,
about things that happened long ago.
6During the night, I thought about my songs.
I talked to myself, trying to understand what is happening.
7I wondered, “Has our Lord rejected us forever?
Will he ever accept us again?
8Is his love gone forever?
Will he never again speak to us?
9Has God forgotten what mercy is?
Has his compassion changed to anger?” Selah
10Then I said to myself, “What bothers me most is the thought
that God Most High has lost his power.”
11Lord, I remember what you have done.
I remember the amazing things you did long ago.
12I think about those things.
I think about them all the time.
13God, all that you do is holy.
No god is as great as you are.
14You are the God who does amazing things.
You showed the nations your great power.
15By your power you saved your people,
the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
16God, the water saw you and became afraid.
The deep water shook with fear.
17The thick clouds dropped their water.
Thunder roared in the sky above.
Your arrows of lightning flashed through the clouds.
18There were loud claps of thunder.
Lightning lit up the world.
The earth shook and trembled.
19You walked through the water and crossed the deep sea,
but you left no footprints.
20You led your people like sheep,
using Moses and Aaron to guide them.
