77:1  (For the one directing. Set to Yedutun. Mizmor of Asaph) I cried unto Elohim with my voice, even unto Elohim with my voice; and He gave ear unto me.
77:2  In my yom tzoros (day of trouble) I sought Adonoi; my hand was stretched up in the lailah, and ceased not; my nefesh refused to be comforted.
77:3  I remembered Elohim, and groaned; I pondered, and my ruach was overwhelmed. Selah.
77:4  Thou holdest mine eyelids awake; I am so troubled that lo adaber (I cannot speak).
77:5  I have considered the yamim mikedem (days of old), the shnot olamim (years long past).
77:6  I called to remembrance my neginah balailah (song in the night); I communed with mine own lev; and my ruach pondered with diligent search.
77:7  Will Adonoi cast off forever? And will He show favor no more?
77:8  Is His chesed passed away forever? Is His promise at an end l’dor vador?
77:9  Hath El (G-d) forgotten to be channot (gracious)? Hath He in anger shut up His rachamim (mercy)? Selah.
77:10  And I said, This is my affliction; but I will remember the shanot of the Yemin Elyon (Right Hand of the Most High).
77:11  I will remember the deeds of Hashem; surely I will remember Thy wonders mikedem (of old, of long ago).
77:12  I will meditate also on kol po’al (all work) of Thine, and consider Thy mighty deeds.
77:13  Thy Derech, O Elohim, is bakodesh (in holiness). Who is so gadol El as Elohim?
77:14  Thou art HaEl oseh peleh (the G-d that doest wonders); Thou hast declared Thy oz (strength) among the amim (peoples, nations).
77:15  Thou hast with Thine zero’a (strong arm) redeemed Thy people, the Bnei Ya’akov and Yosef. Selah.
77:16  The mayim saw Thee, O Elohim, the mayim saw Thee; they were afraid; the tehomot (ocean depths) also writhed.
77:17  The clouds poured down mayim; the skies resounded in thunder; Thine khitzim (arrows, i.e., lightning bolts) also went forth
77:18  The voice of Thy thunder was in the galgal (whirlwind); the lightning lit up the tevel (world); ha’aretz trembled and quaked.
77:19  Thy derech is in the yam (sea), and Thy path is through the mayim rabbim (great waters), and Thy footsteps are not to be discerned.
77:20  Thou didst lead Thy people like a tzon (flock) by the yad Moshe and Aharon.
