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.
1For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by Asaph. My cry goes to God! Indeed, I cry to God for help, and for him to listen to 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 hand was stretched out in the night, and didn’t get tired. My soul refused to be comforted.
3I remembered God, and rejoiced; I poured out my complaint, and my soul fainted. Pause.
3I remember God, and I groan. I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah.
4All my enemies set a watch [against me]: I was troubled, and spoke not.
4You hold my eyelids open. I am so troubled that I can’t 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 remember my song in the night. I consider in my own heart; my spirit diligently inquires:
7Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be well pleased no more?
7“Will the Lord reject us forever? Will he be favorable no more?
8Will he cut off his mercy for ever, even for ever and ever?
8Has his loving kindness vanished forever? Does his promise fail for generations?
9Will God forget to pity? or will he shut up his compassions in his wrath? Pause.
9Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he, in anger, withheld his compassion?” Selah.
10And I said, Now I have begun; this is the change of the right hand of the Most High.
10Then I thought, “I will appeal to this: 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 Yah’s deeds; for I will remember your wonders of old.
12And I will meditate on all your works, and will consider your doings.
12I will also meditate on all your work, and consider your doings.
13O God, your way is in the sanctuary; who is a great God as our God?
13Your way, God, is in the sanctuary. What god is great like God?
14You are the God that do wonders; you have made known your power among the nations.
14You are the God who does wonders. You have made your strength known among the peoples.
15You have with your arm redeemed your people , the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Pause.
15You have redeemed your people with your arm, 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 you, God. The waters saw you, and they writhed. The depths also convulsed.
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 resounded with thunder. Your arrows also flashed around.
18The voice of your thunder was abroad, and around your lightnings appeared to the world; the earth trembled a quaked.
18The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind. The lightnings lit up 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.
19Your way was through the sea, your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known.
20You did guide your people as sheep by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
20You led your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
