77:1  To the Chief Musician; according to Jeduthun [one of David’s three chief musicians, founder of an official musical family]. A Psalm of Asaph. My voice rises to God, and I will cry aloud; My voice rises to God, and He will hear me.
77:2  In the day of my trouble I [desperately] sought the Lord; In the night my hand was stretched out [in prayer] without weariness; My soul refused to be comforted.
77:3  I remember God; then I am disquieted and I groan; I sigh [in prayer], and my spirit grows faint. Selah.
77:4  You have held my eyelids open; I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
77:5  I have considered the ancient days, The years [of prosperity] of long, long ago.
77:6  I will remember my song in the night; I will meditate with my heart, And my spirit searches:
77:7  Will the Lord reject forever? And will He never be favorable again?
77:8  Has His lovingkindness ceased forever? Have His promises ended for all time?
77:9  Has God forgotten to be gracious? Or has He in anger withdrawn His compassion? Selah.
77:10  And I said, “This is my grief, That the right hand of the Most High has changed [and His lovingkindness is withheld].”
77:11  I will [solemnly] remember the deeds of the Lord; Yes, I will [wholeheartedly] remember Your wonders of old.
77:12  I will meditate on all Your works And thoughtfully consider all Your [great and wondrous] deeds.
77:13  Your way, O God, is holy [far from sin and guilt]. What god is great like our God?
77:14  You are the [awesome] God who works [powerful] wonders; You have demonstrated Your power among the people.
77:15  You have with Your [great] arm redeemed Your people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
77:16  The waters [of the Red Sea] saw You, O God; The waters saw You, they were in anguish; The deeps also trembled.
77:17  The clouds poured down water; The skies sent out a sound [of rumbling thunder]; Your arrows (lightning) flashed here and there.
77:18  The voice of Your thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightnings illumined the world; The earth trembled and shook.
77:19  Your way [of escape for Your people] was through the sea, And Your paths through the great waters, And Your footprints were not traceable.
77:20  You led Your people like a flock By the hand of Moses and Aaron [to the promised goal].
