1(77) For the end, for Idithun, a Psalm of Asaph. I cried to the Lord with my voice, yes, my voice [was addressed] to God; and he gave heed to me.
1I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.
2In the day of my affliction I earnestly sought the Lord; [even] with my hands by night before him, and I was not deceived; my soul refused to be comforted.
2In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.
3I remembered God, and rejoiced; I poured out my complaint, and my soul fainted. Pause.
3I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
4All my enemies set a watch [against me]: I was troubled, and spoke not.
4Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5I considered the days of old, and remembered ancient years .
5I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
6And I meditated; I communed with my heart by night, and diligently searched my spirit, [saying],
6I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
7Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be well pleased no more?
7Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?
8Will he cut off his mercy for ever, even for ever and ever?
8Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?
9Will God forget to pity? or will he shut up his compassions in his wrath? Pause.
9Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
10And I said, Now I have begun; this is the change of the right hand of the Most High.
10And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.
11I remembered the works of the Lord; for I will remember your wonders from the beginning.
11I will remember the works of the Lord: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.
12And I will meditate on all your works, and will consider your doings.
12I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.
13O God, your way is in the sanctuary; who is a great God as our God?
13Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
14You are the God that do wonders; you have made known your power among the nations.
14Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.
15You have with your arm redeemed your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Pause.
15Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
16The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you, and feared; and the depths were troubled.
16The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.
17[There was] an abundant sound of waters: the clouds uttered a voice; for your arrows went abroad.
17The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.
18The voice of your thunder was abroad, and around your lightnings appeared to the world; the earth trembled a quaked.
18The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
19Your way is in the sea, and your paths in many waters, and your footsteps can’t be known.
19Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.
20You did guide your people as sheep by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
20Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
