我在困境中尋求主。
我整夜舉手禱告,
我的心無法得到安慰。
我思想上帝,發出哀歎;
我默想,心靈疲憊不堪。(細拉)
你使我無法合眼,
我心亂如麻,默然無語。

我在患难的日子寻求主,

我整夜举手祷告,总不倦怠,

我的心不肯受安慰。

我想到 神,就哀怨唉哼;

我沉思默想,心灵就烦乱。(细拉)

你使我不能合眼,

我烦躁不安,连话也说不出来。

[a]I cry aloud to God,
    for when I cry out to God, he hears me.[b]
In the time of my distress I seek the Lord;
    at night I stretch out my hands unceasingly,
    and my soul refuses to be consoled.
[c]I groan as I think of God;
    my spirit grows faint as I meditate on him. Selah

  1. Psalm 77:2 To the psalmist, God seems to have deserted his people; he no longer responds to appeals for help in time of distress and intense prayer.
  2. Psalm 77:2 The psalmist looked to God as the sole comforter of his distressed soul (see Gen 37:35; Jer 31:15). He cried out ceaselessly in prayer with hands outstretched—but remained uncomforted. Soul: see note on Ps 6:4.
  3. Psalm 77:4 Sleeplessness and dryness in prayer lead the psalmist’s faith to be shaken, but he puts his mind on the origins of his people as God’s people and attempts to rediscover hope (see Ps 119:52; Deut 32:7ff).

When I was in distress,(A) I sought the Lord;
    at night(B) I stretched out untiring hands,(C)
    and I would not be comforted.(D)

I remembered(E) you, God, and I groaned;(F)
    I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.[a](G)
You kept my eyes from closing;
    I was too troubled to speak.(H)
