Psalms 77

1 I was crying to God with my voice; even to God with my voice, and he gave ear to me.

1 My voice is untoGod, and I will cry; my voice is untoGod, and he will give ear unto me.

2In the day of my trouble, my heart was turned to the Lord: my hand was stretched out in the night without resting; my soul would not be comforted.

2 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.

3I will keep God in memory, with sounds of grief; my thoughts are troubled, and my spirit is overcome. (Selah.)

3 I rememberedGod, and I moaned; I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.

4You keep my eyes from sleep; I am so troubled that no words come.

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

5My thoughts go back to the days of the past, to the years which are gone.

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

6The memory of my song comes back to me in the night; my thoughts are moving in my heart; my spirit is searching with care.

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

7Will the Lord put me away for ever? will he be kind no longer?

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

8Is his mercy quite gone for ever? has his word come to nothing?

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

9Has God put away the memory of his pity? are his mercies shut up by his wrath? (Selah.)

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

10And I said, It is a weight on my spirit; but I will keep in mind the years of the right hand of the Most High.

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

11I will keep in mind the works of Jah: I will keep the memory of your wonders in the past.

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

12I will give thought to all your work, while my mind goes over your acts of power.

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

13Your way, O God, is holy: what god is so great as our God?

13 OGod, thy way is in the sanctuary: who is so great agod asGod?

14You are the God who does works of power: you have made your strength clear to the nations.

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

15With your arm you have made your people free, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah.)

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

16The waters saw you, O God; the waters saw you, they were in fear: even the deep was troubled.

16 The waters saw thee, OGod, the waters saw thee; they trembled, yea, the depths were troubled:

17The clouds sent out water; the skies gave out a sound; truly, your arrows went far and wide.

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

18The voice of your thunder went rolling on; the world was flaming with the light of the storm; the earth was shaking.

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

19Your way was in the sea, and your road in the great waters; there was no knowledge of your footsteps.

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

20You were guiding your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

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