←Prev   Psalms 77 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


77:1  I cry aloud to God; I cry aloud, and he hears me.
77:2  In times of trouble I pray to the Lord; all night long I lift my hands in prayer, but I cannot find comfort.
77:3  When I think of God, I sigh; when I meditate, I feel discouraged.
77:4  He keeps me awake all night; I am so worried that I cannot speak.
77:5  I think of days gone by and remember years of long ago.
77:6  I spend the night in deep thought; I meditate, and this is what I ask myself:
77:7  “Will the Lord always reject us? Will he never again be pleased with us?
77:8  Has he stopped loving us? Does his promise no longer stand?
77:9  Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has anger taken the place of his compassion?”
77:10  Then I said, “What hurts me most is this— that God is no longer powerful.”
77:11  I will remember your great deeds, Lord; I will recall the wonders you did in the past.
77:12  I will think about all that you have done; I will meditate on all your mighty acts.
77:13  Everything you do, O God, is holy. No god is as great as you.
77:14  You are the God who works miracles; you showed your might among the nations.
77:15  By your power you saved your people, the descendants of Jacob and of Joseph.
77:16  When the waters saw you, O God, they were afraid, and the depths of the sea trembled.
77:17  The clouds poured down rain; thunder crashed from the sky, and lightning flashed in all directions.
77:18  The crash of your thunder rolled out, and flashes of lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and shook.
77:19  You walked through the waves; you crossed the deep sea, but your footprints could not be seen.
77:20  You led your people like a shepherd, with Moses and Aaron in charge.
