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
To the Overseer, for Jeduthun. — A Psalm of Asaph.
1My voice [is] to God, and I cry, my voice [is] to God, And He hath given ear unto me.
2In a day of my distress the Lord I sought, My hand by night hath been spread out, And it doth not cease, My soul hath refused to be comforted.
3I remember God, and make a noise, I meditate, and feeble is my spirit. Selah.
4Thou hast taken hold of the watches of mine eyes, I have been moved, and I speak not.
5I have reckoned the days of old, The years of the ages.
6I remember my music in the night, With my heart I meditate, and my spirit doth search diligently:
7To the ages doth the Lord cast off? Doth He add to be pleased no more?
8Hath His kindness ceased for ever? The saying failed to all generations?
9Hath God forgotten [His] favours? Hath He shut up in anger His mercies? Selah.
10And I say: ‘My weakness is, The changes of the right hand of the Most High.’
11I mention the doings of Jah, For I remember of old Thy wonders,
12And I have meditated on all Thy working, And I talk concerning Thy doings.
13O God, in holiness [is] Thy way, Who [is] a great god like God?
14Thou [art] the God doing wonders. Thou hast made known among the peoples Thy strength,
15Thou hast redeemed with strength Thy people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
16The waters have seen Thee, O God, The waters have seen Thee, They are afraid — also depths are troubled.
17Poured out waters have thick clouds, The skies have given forth a noise, Also — Thine arrows go up and down.
18The voice of Thy thunder [is] in the spheres, Lightnings have lightened the world, The earth hath trembled, yea, it shaketh.
19In the sea [is] Thy way, And Thy paths [are] in many waters, And Thy tracks have not been known.
20Thou hast led as a flock Thy people, By the hand of Moses and Aaron!
