Psalms 77

In the Day of Trouble I Seek the Lord

To the choirmaster: according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.

I cry aloud to God,
aloud to God, and he will hear me.

In Distress, I Sought the Lord

{To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A Psalm.} My voice is unto God, and I will cry; my voice is unto God, and he will give ear unto me.

In 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.

In the day of my trouble, I sought the Lord: my hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not; my soul refused to be comforted.

When I remember God, I moan;
when I meditate, my spirit faints. Selah

I remembered God, and I moaned; I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.

You hold my eyelids open;
I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

Thou holdest open mine eyelids; I am full of disquiet and cannot speak.

I consider the days of old,
the years long ago.

I consider the days of old, the years of ancient times.

I said,a “Let me remember my song in the night;
let me meditate in my heart.”
Then my spirit made a diligent search:

I remember my song in the night; I muse in mine own heart, and my spirit maketh diligent search.

“Will the Lord spurn forever,
and never again be favorable?

Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?

Has his steadfast love forever ceased?
Are his promises at an end for all time?

Hath his loving-kindness ceased for ever? hath [his] word come to an end from generation to generation?

Has God forgotten to be gracious?
Has he in anger shut up his compassion?” Selah

Hath God forgotten to be gracious? or hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.

Then I said, “I will appeal to this,
to the years of the right hand of the Most High.”b

Then said I, This is my weakness: -- the years of the right hand of the Most High

I will remember the deeds of the Lord;
yes, I will remember your wonders of old.

Will I remember, -- the works of Jah; for I will remember thy wonders of old,

I will ponder all your work,
and meditate on your mighty deeds.

And I will meditate upon all thy work, and muse upon thy doings.

Your way, O God, is holy.
What god is great like our God?

O God, thy way is in the sanctuary: who is so great a god as God?

You are the God who works wonders;
you have made known your might among the peoples.

Thou art the God that doest wonders; thou hast declared thy strength among the peoples.

You with your arm redeemed your people,
the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

Thou hast with [thine] arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

When the waters saw you, O God,
when the waters saw you, they were afraid;
indeed, the deep trembled.

The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they trembled, yea, the depths were troubled:

The clouds poured out water;
the skies gave forth thunder;
your arrows flashed on every side.

The thick clouds poured out water; the skies sent out a sound, yea, thine arrows went abroad:

The crash of your thunder was in the whirlwind;
your lightnings lighted up the world;
the earth trembled and shook.

The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind, lightnings lit up the world; the earth was troubled and it quaked.

Your way was through the sea,
your path through the great waters;
yet your footprints were unseen.c

Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths are in the great waters; and thy footsteps are not known.

You led your people like a flock
by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
