[1] To the chief music-maker. After Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A Psalm. [2]
\77:1\I was crying to God with my voice; even to God with my voice, and he
gave ear to me. [3] \77:2\In 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. [4] \77:3\I will keep God in memory, with sounds of
grief; my thoughts are troubled, and my spirit is overcome. (Selah.) [5]
\77:4\You keep my eyes from sleep; I am so troubled that no words come. [6]
\77:5\My thoughts go back to the days of the past, to the years which are
gone. [7] \77:6\The memory of my song comes back to me in the night; my
thoughts are moving in my heart; my spirit is searching with care. [8]
\77:7\Will the Lord put me away for ever? will he be kind no longer? [9]
\77:8\Is his mercy quite gone for ever? has his word come to nothing? [10]
\77:9\Has God put away the memory of his pity? are his mercies shut up by
his wrath? (Selah.) [11] \77:10\And 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. [12]
\77:11\I will keep in mind the works of Jah: I will keep the memory of your
wonders in the past. [13] \77:12\I will give thought to all your work,
while my mind goes over your acts of power. [14] \77:13\Your way, O God, is
holy: what god is so great as our God? [15] \77:14\You are the God who does
works of power: you have made your strength clear to the nations. [16]
\77:15\With your arm you have made your people free, the sons of Jacob and
Joseph. (Selah.) [17] \77:16\The waters saw you, O God; the waters saw you,
they were in fear: even the deep was troubled. [18] \77:17\The clouds sent
out water; the skies gave out a sound; truly, your arrows went far and
wide. [19] \77:18\The voice of your thunder went rolling on; the world was
flaming with the light of the storm; the earth was shaking. [20]
\77:19\Your way was in the sea, and your road in the great waters; there
was no knowledge of your footsteps. [21] \77:20\You were guiding your
people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
