PSALM 77
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun,
A Psalm of Asaph.
1Unto the Lord I with my voice,
I unto God did cry;
Ev'n with my voice,
and unto me his ear he did apply.
2I in my trouble sought the Lord,
my sore by night did run,
And ceased not; my grieved soul
did consolation shun.
3I to remembrance God did call,
yet trouble did remain;
And overwhelm'd my spirit was,
whilst I did sore complain.
4Mine eyes, debarr'd from rest and sleep,
thou makest still to wake;
My trouble is so great that I
unable am to speak.
5The days of old to mind I call'd,
and oft did think upon
The times and ages that are past
full many years agone.
6By night my song I call to mind,
and commune with my heart;
My sp'rit did carefully enquire
how I might ease my smart.
7For ever will the Lord cast off,
and gracious be no more?
8For ever is his mercy gone?
fails his word evermore?
9Is't true that to be gracious
the Lord forgotten hath?
And that his tender mercies he
hath shut up in his wrath?
10Then did I say, That surely this
is mine infirmity:
I'll mind the years of the right hand
of him that is most High.
11Yea, I remember will the works
performed by the Lord:
The wonders done of old by thee
I surely will record.
12I also will of all thy works
my meditation make;
And of thy doings to discourse
great pleasure I will take.
13O God, thy way most holy is
within thy sanctuary;
And what god is so great in pow'r
as is our God most high?
14Thou art the God that wonders do'st
by thy right hand most strong:
Thy mighty pow'r thou hast declar'd
the nations among.
15To thine own people with thine arm
thou didst redemption bring;
To Jacob's sons,
and to the tribes of Joseph that do spring.
16The waters, Lord, perceived thee,
the waters saw thee well;
And they for fear aside did flee;
the depths on trembling fell.
17The clouds in water forth were pour'd,
sound loudly did the sky;
And swiftly through the world abroad
thine arrows fierce did fly.
18Thy thunder's voice alongst the heav'n
a mighty noise did make;
By lightnings lighten'd was the world,
th' earth tremble did and shake.
19Thy way is in the sea, and in
the waters great thy path;
Yet are thy footsteps hid, O Lord;
none knowledge thereof hath.
20Thy people thou didst safely lead,
like to a flock of sheep;
By Moses' hand and Aaron's thou
didst them conduct and keep.

Psalms 77
77
For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by Asaph.
1My cry goes to God!
Indeed, I cry to God for help,
and for him to listen to me.
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 remember God, and I groan.
I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah.
4You hold my eyelids open.
I am so troubled that I can’t speak.
5I have considered the days of old,
the years of ancient times.
6I remember my song in the night.
I consider in my own heart;
my spirit diligently inquires:
7“Will the Lord reject us forever?
Will he be favorable no more?
8Has his loving kindness vanished forever?
Does his promise fail for generations?
9Has God forgotten to be gracious?
Has he, in anger, withheld his compassion?” Selah.
10Then I thought, “I will appeal to this:
the years of the right hand of the Most High.”
11I will remember Yah’s deeds;
for I will remember your wonders of old.
12I will also meditate on all your work,
and consider your doings.
13Your way, God, is in the sanctuary.
What god is great like God?
14You are the God who does wonders.
You have made your strength known among the peoples.
15You have redeemed your people with your arm,
the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
16The waters saw you, God.
The waters saw you, and they writhed.
The depths also convulsed.
17The clouds poured out water.
The skies resounded with thunder.
Your arrows also flashed around.
18The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind.
The lightnings lit up the world.
The earth trembled and shook.
19Your way was through the sea,
your paths through the great waters.
Your footsteps were not known.
20You led your people like a flock,
by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
