Chapter 77

  To the Overseer, for Jeduthun. -- A Psalm of Asaph. My voice [is] to God, and I cry, my voice [is] to God, And He hath given ear unto me.  

-

  In a day of my distress the Lord I sought, My hand by night hath been spread out, And it doth not cease, My soul hath refused to be comforted.  

-

  I remember God, and make a noise, I meditate, and feeble is my spirit. Selah.  

-

  Thou hast taken hold of the watches of mine eyes, I have been moved, and I speak not.  

-

  I have reckoned the days of old, The years of the ages.  

-

  I remember my music in the night, With my heart I meditate, and my spirit doth search diligently:  

-

  To the ages doth the Lord cast off? Doth He add to be pleased no more?  

-

  Hath His kindness ceased for ever? The saying failed to all generations?  

-

  Hath God forgotten [His] favours? Hath He shut up in anger His mercies? Selah.  

-

  And I say: 'My weakness is, The changes of the right hand of the Most High.'  

-

  I mention the doings of Jah, For I remember of old Thy wonders,  

-

  And I have meditated on all Thy working, And I talk concerning Thy doings.  

-

  O God, in holiness [is] Thy way, Who [is] a great god like God?  

-

  Thou [art] the God doing wonders. Thou hast made known among the peoples Thy strength,  

-

  Thou hast redeemed with strength Thy people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.  

-

  The waters have seen Thee, O God, The waters have seen Thee, They are afraid -- also depths are troubled.  

-

  Poured out waters have thick clouds, The skies have given forth a noise, Also -- Thine arrows go up and down.  

-

  The voice of Thy thunder [is] in the spheres, Lightnings have lightened the world, The earth hath trembled, yea, it shaketh.  

-

  In the sea [is] Thy way, And Thy paths [are] in many waters, And Thy tracks have not been known.  

-

  Thou hast led as a flock Thy people, By the hand of Moses and Aaron!
