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
For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by Asaph.
1 My cry goes to God!
Indeed, I cry to God for help,
and for him to listen to me.
2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord.
My hand was stretched out in the night, and didn’t get tired.
My soul refused to be comforted.
3 I remember God, and I groan.
I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah.
4 You hold my eyelids open.
I am so troubled that I can’t speak.
5 I have considered the days of old,
the years of ancient times.
6 I remember my song in the night.
I consider in my own heart;
my spirit diligently enquires:
7“Will the Lord reject us forever?
Will he be favourable no more?
8Has his loving kindness vanished forever?
Does his promise fail for generations?
9 Has God forgotten to be gracious?
Has he, in anger, withheld his compassion?” Selah.
10Then I thought, “I will appeal to this:
the years of the right hand of the Most High.”
11 I will remember the LORD’s deeds;
for I will remember your wonders of old.
12 I will also meditate on all your work,
and consider your doings.
13 Your way, God, is in the sanctuary.
What god is great like God?
14 You are the God who does wonders.
You have made your strength known amongst the peoples.
15 You have redeemed your people with your arm,
the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
16 The waters saw you, God.
The waters saw you, and they writhed.
The depths also convulsed.
17 The clouds poured out water.
The skies resounded with thunder.
Your arrows also flashed around.
18 The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind.
The lightnings lit up the world.
The earth trembled and shook.
19Your way was through the sea,
your paths through the great waters.
Your footsteps were not known.
20 You led your people like a flock,
by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
