Psalm Chapter 77 Back NextPsalm 77 For the Chief Musician. To
Jeduthun. A Psalm by
Asaph.
{77:1} My cry goes to God! Indeed, I cry to God for help, and for him to listen to me.
{77:2} 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.
{77:3} I remember God, and I groan. I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah.
{77:4} You hold my eyelids open. I am so troubled that I can't speak.
{77:5} I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
{77:6} I 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?
{77:8} Has his loving kindness vanished forever? Does his promise fail for generations?
{77:9} Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he, in anger, withheld his compassion?" Selah.
{77:10} Then I thought, "I will appeal to this: the years of the right hand of the Most High."
{77:11} I will remember Yah's deeds; for I will remember your wonders of old.
{77:12} I will also meditate on all your work, and consider your doings.
{77:13} Your way, God, is in the sanctuary. What god is great like God?
{77:14} You are the God who does wonders. You have made your strength known among the peoples.
{77:15} You have redeemed your people with your arm, the sons of
Jacob and
Joseph. Selah.
{77:16} The waters saw you, God. The waters saw you, and they writhed. The depths also convulsed.
{77:17} The
clouds poured out water. The skies resounded with thunder. Your
arrows also flashed around.
{77:18} The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind. The lightnings lit up the world. The
earth trembled and shook.
{77:19} Your way was through the sea; your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known.
{77:20} You led your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and
Aaron.
