Psalm 77
Modern English Version
Psalm 77
For the Music Director. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.
1 I cried out to God with my voice,
even to God with my voice; and He listened to me.
2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord;
in the night my hand is stretched out and does not weary,
my soul refuses to be comforted.
3 I remember God, and I groan;
I complain, and my spirit is 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 long ago.
6 May I remember my song in the night;
may I meditate in my heart;
my spirit made a diligent search:
7 “Will the Lord cast off forever,
and will He be favorable no more?
8 Has His mercy ceased forever,
and have His promises failed for all time?
9 Has God forgotten to be gracious,
and has He in anger shut up His tender mercies?” Selah
10 Then I said, “This is my grief;
yet 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 meditate also on all Your work
and ponder on Your mighty deeds.
13 Your way, O God, is holiness;
what god is as great as our God?
14 You are the God who can do wonders;
You have declared Your strength among the nations.
15 You have with Your arm redeemed Your people,
the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
16 The waters saw You, O God.
The waters saw You; they were afraid;
the depths also trembled.
17 The clouds poured out water;
the skies thundered.
Your arrows flashed about.
18 The sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind,
and Your lightning lit up the world;
the earth trembled and shook.
19 Your way is through the sea,
and Your path in the great waters,
and your footsteps are not seen.
20 You led Your people like a flock
by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Psalm 77
21st Century 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 awake; 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 makes diligent search.
7 “Will the Lord cast off for ever? And will He be favorable 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 on all of 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 heavens, 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 didst lead Thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
