77 ⁽⁰⁾ For the leader. For Y’dutun. A psalm of Asaf:

^2 (1) I cry aloud to God,
aloud to God; and he hears me.
^3 (2) On the day of my distress I am seeking Adonai;
my hands are lifted up;
my tears flow all night without ceasing;
my heart refuses comfort.
^4 (3) When remembering God, I moan;
when I ponder, my spirit fails. (Selah)

^5 (4) You hold my eyelids [and keep me from sleeping];
I am too troubled to speak.
^6 (5) I think about the days of old,
the years of long ago;
^7 (6) in the night I remember my song,
I commune with myself, my spirit inquires:
^8 (7) “Will Adonai reject forever?
will he never show his favor again?
^9 (8) Has his grace permanently disappeared?
Is his word to all generations done away?
^10 (9) Has God forgotten to be compassionate?
Has he in anger withheld his mercy?” (Selah)
^11 (10) Then I add, “That’s my weakness —
[supposing] the Most High’s right hand could change.”

^12 (11) So I will remind myself of Yah’s doings;
yes, I will remember your wonders of old.
^13 (12) I will meditate on your work
and think about what you have done.

^14 (13) God, your way is in holiness.
What god is as great as God?

^15 (14) You are the God who does wonders,
you revealed your strength to the peoples.
^16 (15) With your arm you redeemed your people,
the descendants of Ya‘akov and Yosef. (Selah)

^17 (16) The water saw you, God;
the water saw you and writhed in anguish,
agitated to its depths.
^18 (17) The clouds poured water, the skies thundered,
and your arrows flashed here and there.
^19 (18) The sound of your thunder was in the whirlwind,
the lightning flashes lit up the world,
the earth trembled and shook.

^20 (19) Your way went through the sea,
your path through the turbulent waters;
but your footsteps could not be traced.
^21 (20) You led your people like a flock
under the care of Moshe and Aharon.
