←Prev   Psalms 77 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


77:1  For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of Asaph. I cried out to God for help. I cried out to God to hear me.
77:2  When I was in trouble, I looked to the Lord for help. During the night I lifted up my hands in prayer. But I refused to be comforted.
77:3  God, I remembered you, and I groaned. I thought about you, and I became weak.
77:4  You kept me from going to sleep. I was so troubled I couldn’t speak.
77:5  I thought about days gone by. I thought about the years of long ago.
77:6  I remembered how I used to sing praise to you in the night. I thought about it, and here is what I asked myself.
77:7  “Will the Lord turn away from us forever? Won’t he ever show us his kindness again?
77:8  Has his faithful love disappeared forever? Has his promise failed for all time?
77:9  Has God forgotten to help us? Has he held back his tender love because he was angry?”
77:10  Then I thought, “Here is what gives me hope. For many years the Most High God showed how powerful he is.
77:11  Lord, I will remember what you did. Yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.
77:12  I will spend time thinking about everything you have done. I will consider all your mighty acts.”
77:13  God, everything you do is holy. What god is as great as our God?
77:14  You are the God who does miracles. You show your power among the nations.
77:15  With your mighty arm you set your people free. You set the children of Jacob and Joseph free.
77:16  God, the water of the Red Sea saw you. It saw you and boiled up. The deepest waters were stirred up.
77:17  The clouds poured down rain. The skies rumbled with thunder. Lightning flashed back and forth like arrows.
77:18  Your thunder was heard in the windstorm. Your lightning lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook.
77:19  Your path led through the Red Sea. You walked through the mighty waters. But your footprints were not seen.
77:20  You led your people like a flock. You led them by the hands of Moses and Aaron.
