Psalm 77 ~ Psalm 77

picture

1 M y voice goes up to God, and I will cry out. My voice goes up to God and He will hear me.

My voice rises to God, and I will cry aloud; My voice rises to God, and He will hear me.

2 I looked to the Lord when I was in trouble. I put out my hand at night, and it did not get tired. My soul would not be comforted.

In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; In the night my hand was stretched out without weariness; My soul refused to be comforted.

3 W hen I remember God, then I am troubled. When I am in deep thought, then my spirit becomes weak.

When I remember God, then I am disturbed; When I sigh, then my spirit grows faint. Selah.

4 Y ou keep my eyes from closing. I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

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

5 I have thought about the days of old, the years of long ago.

I have considered the days of old, The years of long ago.

6 I remember my song in the night. I think with my heart. And my spirit asks questions.

I will remember my song in the night; I will meditate with my heart, And my spirit ponders:

7 W ill the Lord turn away forever? Will He never show favor again?

Will the Lord reject forever? And will He never be favorable again?

8 H as His loving-kindness stopped forever? Has His promise come to an end for all time?

Has His lovingkindness ceased forever? Has His promise come to an end forever?

9 H as God forgotten to be loving and kind? Has He in anger taken away His loving-pity?

Has God forgotten to be gracious, Or has He in anger withdrawn His compassion? Selah.

10 T hen I said, “It is my sorrow that the right hand of the Most High has changed.”

Then I said, “ It is my grief, That the right hand of the Most High has changed.”

11 I will remember the things the Lord has done. Yes, I will remember the powerful works of long ago.

I shall remember the deeds of the Lord; Surely I will remember Your wonders of old.

12 I will think of all Your work, and keep in mind all the great things You have done.

I will meditate on all Your work And muse on Your deeds.

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

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

14 Y ou are the God Who does great works. You have shown Your power among the people.

You are the God who works wonders; You have made known Your strength among the peoples.

15 Y ou have set free Your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph, with Your strong arm.

You have by Your power redeemed Your people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

16 T he waters saw You, O God. The waters saw You and shook. The sea shook also.

The waters saw You, O God; The waters saw You, they were in anguish; The deeps also trembled.

17 T he clouds poured down water. The sky sounded with thunder. Your arrows of lightning went this way and that.

The clouds poured out water; The skies gave forth a sound; Your arrows flashed here and there.

18 T he sound of Your thunder was in the turning wind. The lightning lit up the world. The earth shook.

The sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightnings lit up the world; The earth trembled and shook.

19 Y our way was through the sea. Your paths went through the powerful waters. And it cannot be known where You stepped.

Your way was in the sea And Your paths in the mighty waters, And Your footprints may not be known.

20 Y ou led Your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

You led Your people like a flock By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
