←Prev   Psalms 77 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


77:1  To the director, Jeduthun. One of Asaph’s songs. I cry out to God for help. I cry out to you, God; listen to me!
77:2  My Lord, in my time of trouble I came to you. I reached out for you all night long. My soul refused to be comforted.
77:3  I thought about you, God, and tried to tell you how I felt, but I could not.
77:4  You would not let me sleep. I tried to say something, but I was too upset.
77:5  I kept thinking about the past, about things that happened long ago.
77:6  During the night, I thought about my songs. I talked to myself, trying to understand what is happening.
77:7  I wondered, “Has our Lord rejected us forever? Will he ever accept us again?
77:8  Is his love gone forever? Will he never again speak to us?
77:9  Has God forgotten what mercy is? Has his compassion changed to anger?” Selah
77:10  Then I said to myself, “What bothers me most is the thought that God Most High has lost his power.”
77:11  Lord, I remember what you have done. I remember the amazing things you did long ago.
77:12  I think about those things. I think about them all the time.
77:13  God, all that you do is holy. No god is as great as you are.
77:14  You are the God who does amazing things. You showed the nations your great power.
77:15  By your power you saved your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
77:16  God, the water saw you and became afraid. The deep water shook with fear.
77:17  The thick clouds dropped their water. Thunder roared in the sky above. Your arrows of lightning flashed through the clouds.
77:18  There were loud claps of thunder. Lightning lit up the world. The earth shook and trembled.
77:19  You walked through the water and crossed the deep sea, but you left no footprints.
77:20  You led your people like sheep, using Moses and Aaron to guide them.
