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
For the music leader. According to Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A psalm.
1I cry out loud to God—
out loud to God so that he can hear me!
2During the day when I’m in trouble I look for my Lord.
At night my hands are still outstretched and don’t grow numb;
my whole being#77.2 Or soul refuses to be comforted.
3I remember God and I moan.
I complain, and my spirit grows tired. Selah
4You’ve kept my eyelids from closing.
I’m so upset I can’t even speak.
5I think about days long past;
I remember years that seem an eternity in the past.
6I meditate with my heart at night;#77.6 LXX; MT I remember my song in the night.
I complain, and my spirit keeps searching:
7“Will my Lord reject me forever?
Will he never be pleased again?
8Has his faithful love come to a complete end?
Is his promise over for future generations?
9Has God forgotten how to be gracious?
Has he angrily stopped up his compassion?” Selah
10It’s my misfortune, I thought,
that the strong hand of the Most High is different now.
11But I will remember the LORD’s deeds;
yes, I will remember your wondrous acts from times long past.
12I will meditate on all your works;
I will ponder your deeds.
13God, your way is holiness!
Who is as great a god as you, God?
14You are the God who works wonders;
you have demonstrated your strength among all peoples.
15With your mighty arm you redeemed your people;
redeemed the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
16The waters saw you, God—
the waters saw you and reeled!
Even the deep depths shook!
17The clouds poured water,
the skies cracked thunder;
your arrows were flying all around!
18The crash of your thunder was in the swirling storm;
lightning lit up the whole world;
the earth shook and quaked.
19Your way went straight through the sea;
your pathways went right through the mighty waters.
But your footprints left no trace!
20You led your people like sheep
under the care of Moses and Aaron.
