Salmos 77

Nueva Versión Internacional

Al director musical. Para Jedutún. Salmo de Asaf.

77 A Dios elevo mi voz suplicante;
    a Dios elevo mi voz para que me escuche.
²Cuando estoy angustiado, recurro al Señor;
    sin cesar elevo mis manos por las noches,
    pero me niego a recibir consuelo.

³Me acuerdo de Dios y me lamento;
    medito en él y mi espíritu desfallece. Selah
⁴Me impides cerrar los ojos;
    tan turbado estoy que ni hablar puedo.
⁵Me pongo a pensar en los tiempos de antaño;
    de los años ya idos me acuerdo.
⁶En la noche recuerdo mi canción;
    mi corazón medita y mi espíritu pregunta:

⁷«¿Nos rechazará el Señor para siempre?
    ¿No volverá a mostrarnos su buena voluntad?
⁸¿Se habrá agotado para siempre su gran amor
    y su promesa por todas las generaciones?
⁹¿Se habrá olvidado Dios de sus misericordias
    y en su enojo ya no quiere tenernos compasión?». Selah

¹⁰Y me pongo a pensar: «Esto es lo que me duele:
    que haya cambiado la diestra del Altísimo».
¹¹Prefiero recordar las hazañas del Señor,
    traer a la memoria sus milagros de antaño.
¹²Meditaré en todas tus proezas;
    evocaré tus obras poderosas.

¹³Santos, oh Dios, son tus caminos;
    ¿qué dios hay tan excelso como nuestro Dios?
¹⁴Tú eres el Dios que hace maravillas;
    el que despliega su poder entre los pueblos.
¹⁵Con tu brazo poderoso redimiste a tu pueblo,
    a los descendientes de Jacob y de José. Selah

¹⁶Las aguas te vieron, oh Dios,
    las aguas te vieron y se agitaron;
    el propio abismo se estremeció con violencia.
¹⁷Derramaron su lluvia las nubes;
    retumbaron con estruendo los cielos;
    rasgaron el espacio tus flechas.
¹⁸Tu estruendo retumbó en el torbellino
    y tus relámpagos iluminaron el mundo;
    la tierra se estremeció con temblores.
¹⁹Te abriste camino en el mar,
    pasaste entre las muchas aguas,
    y no se hallaron tus huellas.

²⁰Por medio de Moisés y de Aarón
guiaste como un rebaño a tu pueblo.

Psalm 77

EasyEnglish Bible

Asaph wrote this song for the music leader, Jeduthun.

A prayer in times of trouble^[a]

77 I will call out to God for help.
I will call aloud to God,
    and he will listen to me.
²When trouble came to me,
    I looked for the Lord to help me.
All through the night,
    I lifted my hands to him while I prayed.
But I did not feel peace in myself.
³When I think about God,
    I am sad and upset.
I do not know if he will help me.
Selah.
⁴God, you do not let me close my eyes to sleep.
    I am so upset that I cannot even speak.^[b]
⁵I think about my life long ago,
    in the years that have passed.
⁶At night, I remember the songs that I sang before.
    I think carefully about what is happening.
⁷I ask myself, ‘Will the Lord always turn against me?
    Will he never be kind to me again?
⁸Does he no longer have a faithful love for his people?
    Will he never do what he has promised us?
⁹Has God forgotten to be kind and help us?
    Is he so angry that he will not be kind to us any more?’^[c]
Selah.
¹⁰Then I said, ‘This makes me very upset!
    Has the Most High God stopped helping us?
¹¹I will remember the things that the Lord has done.
Yes, I will remember the miracles that you did long ago.
¹²I will think about everything that you have done.
    I will think carefully about all those great things.’
¹³God, your ways are holy.
    There is no god as great as our God.
¹⁴You are the God who does miracles.
You show the nations
    that you are very powerful.
¹⁵You used your power to rescue your people.
Yes, you saved the descendants
    of Jacob and Joseph.
Selah.
¹⁶The waters of the sea saw you, God.
When they saw you,
    they shook with fear!
Even the deepest seas were afraid.
¹⁷Rain poured down from the clouds.
The noise of thunder was in the skies.
Your arrows of lightning
    shot everywhere.
¹⁸The sound of your thunder was in the storm.
Your lightning made all the world bright.
The earth shook.
¹⁹You went through the sea.
Your path went through the deep water,
    but nobody saw where your feet had gone.
²⁰You led your people,
    as a shepherd leads his sheep.
Moses and Aaron did that for you.
