77:1  Asaph wrote this song for the music leader, Jeduthun. I will call out to God for help. I will call aloud to God, and he will listen to me.
77:2  When trouble came to me, I looked for the Lord to help me. All through the night, I lifted my hands to him while I prayed. But I did not feel peace in myself.
77:3  When I think about God, I am sad and upset. I do not know if he will help me. Selah.
77:4  God, you do not let me close my eyes to sleep. I am so upset that I cannot even speak.
77:5  I think about my life long ago, in the years that have passed.
77:6  At night, I remember the songs that I sang before. I think carefully about what is happening.
77:7  I ask myself, ‘Will the Lord always turn against me? Will he never be kind to me again?
77:8  Does he no longer have a faithful love for his people? Will he never do what he has promised us?
77:9  Has God forgotten to be kind and help us? Is he so angry that he will not be kind to us any more?’ Selah.
77:10  Then I said, ‘This makes me very upset! Has the Most High God stopped helping us?
77:11  I will remember the things that the Lord has done. Yes, I will remember the miracles that you did long ago.
77:12  I will think about everything that you have done. I will think carefully about all those great things.’
77:13  God, your ways are holy. There is no god as great as our God.
77:14  You are the God who does miracles. You show the nations that you are very powerful.
77:15  You used your power to rescue your people. Yes, you saved the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
77:16  The waters of the sea saw you, God. When they saw you, they shook with fear! Even the deepest seas were afraid.
77:17  Rain poured down from the clouds. The noise of thunder was in the skies. Your arrows of lightning shot everywhere.
77:18  The sound of your thunder was in the storm. Your lightning made all the world bright. The earth shook.
77:19  You went through the sea. Your path went through the deep water, but nobody saw where your feet had gone.
77:20  You led your people, as a shepherd leads his sheep. Moses and Aaron did that for you.
