77:1  (A psalm by Asaph for Jeduthun, the music leader.) I pray to you, Lord God, and I beg you to listen.
77:2  In days filled with trouble, I search for you. And at night I tirelessly lift my hands in prayer, refusing comfort.
77:3  When I think of you, I feel restless and weak.
77:4  Because of you, Lord God, I can't sleep. I am restless and can't even talk.
77:5  I think of times gone by, of those years long ago.
77:6  Each night my mind is flooded with questions:
77:7  “Have you rejected me forever? Won't you be kind again?
77:8  Is this the end of your love and your promises?
77:9  Have you forgotten how to have pity? Do you refuse to show mercy because of your anger?”
77:10  Then I said, “God Most High, what hurts me most is that you no longer help us with your mighty arm.”
77:11  Our Lord, I will remember the things you have done, your miracles of long ago.
77:12  I will think about each one of your mighty deeds.
77:13  Everything you do is right, and no other god compares with you.
77:14  You alone work miracles, and you have let nations see your mighty power.
77:15  With your own arm you rescued your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.
77:16  The ocean looked at you, God, and it trembled deep down with fear.
77:17  Water flowed from the clouds. Thunder was heard above as your arrows of lightning flashed about.
77:18  Your thunder roared like chariot wheels. The world was made bright by lightning, and all the earth trembled.
77:19  You walked through the water of the mighty sea, but your footprints were never seen.
77:20  You guided your people like a flock of sheep, and you chose Moses and Aaron to be their leaders.
