Psalm 77
1 Een lied van Asaf, op de manier van Jedutun. Voor de leider van het koor.
2 Ik roep tot God.
Ik schreeuw het uit tot God, en ik weet dat Hij zal luisteren.
3 Ik ben in nood en ik roep Hem om hulp.
De hele nacht roep ik zonder ophouden tot Hem.
Ik ben ontroostbaar.
4 Als ik aan God denk, dan kreun ik.
Ik word wanhopig als ik aan Hem denk.
5 Ik ben zó onrustig, dat ik er niet van kan slapen.
Ik kan niet eens praten van ellende.
6 Ik denk erover na hoe het lang geleden was.
7 Ik dacht erover hoe ik toen muziek voor U maakte.
En ik bleef me maar afvragen:
8 Zal de Heer ooit nog bij ons terugkomen?
Zal Hij ooit nog goed voor ons zijn?
9 Of is er een einde gekomen aan zijn liefde?
Houdt Hij zich niet langer aan zijn beloften?
10 Vergeet God om nog goed voor ons te zijn?
Is Hij zó boos, dat het afgelopen is met zijn liefde?
11 En ik zei bij mijzelf:
"Het maakt me heel erg verdrietig,
maar ik denk dat de Allerhoogste God niet meer met ons is."
12 Ik zal altijd blijven denken
aan de wonderen die U vroeger heeft gedaan.
13 Ik zal erover blijven spreken.
Ik zal eraan blijven denken.
14 God, alles wat U doet is zó geweldig!
Welke god is zo geweldig als U?
15 U bent de God die wonderen doet.
U heeft aan de volken uw macht laten zien.
16 U heeft uw volk, de zonen van Jakob en van Jozef,[a]
op een machtige manier gered.
17 Toen het water U zag, God,
toen het water U zag, beefde het van angst.
De zee beefde tot op de bodem.
18 De regen gutste uit de wolken.
Het onweer dreunde langs de hemel.
Bliksemflitsen schoten door de lucht.
19 De donder rolde, de bliksem flitste,
de aarde schudde en beefde.
20 U baande Zich een weg door het water,
een pad door de zee.
Uw voetstappen waren niet te zien.
21 U leidde uw volk zoals een herder zijn schapen leidt.
U gebruikte Mozes en Aäron om hen te leiden.

Psalm 77[a]
For the director of music. For Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A psalm.
1 I cried out to God(A) for help;
I cried out to God to hear me.
2 When I was in distress,(B) I sought the Lord;
at night(C) I stretched out untiring hands,(D)
and I would not be comforted.(E)
3 I remembered(F) you, God, and I groaned;(G)
I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.[b](H)
4 You kept my eyes from closing;
I was too troubled to speak.(I)
5 I thought about the former days,(J)
the years of long ago;
6 I remembered my songs in the night.
My heart meditated and my spirit asked:
7 “Will the Lord reject forever?(K)
Will he never show his favor(L) again?
8 Has his unfailing love(M) vanished forever?
Has his promise(N) failed for all time?
9 Has God forgotten to be merciful?(O)
Has he in anger withheld his compassion?(P)”
10 Then I thought, “To this I will appeal:
the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand.(Q)
11 I will remember the deeds of the Lord;
yes, I will remember your miracles(R) of long ago.
12 I will consider(S) all your works
and meditate on all your mighty deeds.”(T)
13 Your ways, God, are holy.
What god is as great as our God?(U)
14 You are the God who performs miracles;(V)
you display your power among the peoples.
15 With your mighty arm you redeemed your people,(W)
the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.
16 The waters(X) saw you, God,
the waters saw you and writhed;(Y)
the very depths were convulsed.
17 The clouds poured down water,(Z)
the heavens resounded with thunder;(AA)
your arrows(AB) flashed back and forth.
18 Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind,(AC)
your lightning(AD) lit up the world;
the earth trembled and quaked.(AE)
19 Your path(AF) led through the sea,(AG)
your way through the mighty waters,
though your footprints were not seen.

The Consoling Memory of God’s Redemptive Works
To the Chief Musician. (A)To Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.
77 I cried out to God with my voice—
To God with my voice;
And He gave ear to me.
2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord;
My hand was stretched out in the night without ceasing;
My soul refused to be comforted.
3 I remembered God, and was troubled;
I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah
4 You hold my eyelids open;
I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5 I have considered the days of old,
The years of ancient times.
6 I call to remembrance my song in the night;
I meditate within my heart,
And my spirit [a]makes diligent search.
7 Will the Lord cast off forever?
And will He be favorable no more?
8 Has His mercy ceased forever?
Has His (B)promise failed [b]forevermore?
9 Has God forgotten to be gracious?
Has He in anger shut up His tender mercies? Selah
10 And I said, “This is my [c]anguish;
But I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.”
11 I will remember the works of the Lord;
Surely I will remember Your wonders of old.
12 I will also meditate on all Your work,
And talk of Your deeds.
13 Your way, O God, is in [d]the (C)sanctuary;
Who is so great a God as our God?
14 You are the God who does wonders;
You have declared Your strength among the peoples.
15 You have with Your arm redeemed Your people,
The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
16 The waters saw You, O God;
The waters saw You, they were (D)afraid;
The depths also trembled.
17 The clouds poured out water;
The skies sent out a sound;
Your arrows also flashed about.
18 The voice of Your thunder was in the whirlwind;
The lightnings lit up the world;
The earth trembled and shook.
19 Your way was in the sea,
Your path in the great waters,
And Your footsteps were not known.
20 You led Your people like a flock
By the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Psalm 77
King James Version
77 I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.
2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.
3 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
6 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?
8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?
9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
10 And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.
11 I will remember the works of the Lord: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.
12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.
13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
14 Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.
15 Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.
17 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.
18 The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.
20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
