Psalm 77

For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by Asaph.

 77:1My cry goes to God!
      Indeed, I cry to God for help,
      And for him to listen to me.

 77:2In 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.

 77:3I remember God, and I groan.
      I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed.

 Selah.

  77:4You hold my eyelids open.
      I am so troubled that I can't speak.

 77:5I have considered the days of old,
      The years of ancient times.

 77:6I remember my song in the night.
      I consider in my own heart;
      My spirit diligently inquires:

 77:7"Will the Lord reject us forever?
      Will he be favorable no more?

 77:8Has his lovingkindness vanished forever?
      Does his promise fail for generations?

 77:9Has God forgotten to be gracious?
      Has he, in anger, withheld his compassion?"

 Selah.

 77:10Then I thought, "I will appeal to this:
      The years of the right hand of the Most High."

 77:11I will remember Yah's deeds;
      For I will remember your wonders of old.

 77:12I will also meditate on all your work,
      And consider your doings.

 77:13Your way, God, is in the sanctuary.
      What god is great like God?

 77:14You are the God who does wonders.
      You have made your strength known among the peoples.

 77:15You have redeemed your people with your arm,
      The sons of Jacob and Joseph.

 Selah.

 77:16The waters saw you, God.
      The waters saw you, and they writhed.
      The depths also convulsed.

 77:17The clouds poured out water.
      The skies resounded with thunder.
      Your arrows also flashed around.

 77:18The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind.
      The lightnings lit up the world.
      The earth trembled and shook.

 77:19Your way was through the sea;
      Your paths through the great waters.
      Your footsteps were not known.

 77:20You led your people like a flock,
      By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
