Tehillim 77 Orthodox Jewish Bible

77 (For the one directing. Set to Yedutun. Mizmor of Asaph) I cried unto Elohim with my voice, even unto Elohim with my voice; and He gave ear unto me.

²⁽³⁾In my yom tzoros (day of trouble) I sought Adonoi; my hand was stretched up in the lailah, and ceased not; my nefesh refused to be comforted.

³⁽⁴⁾I remembered Elohim, and groaned; I pondered, and my ruach was overwhelmed. Selah.

⁴⁽⁵⁾Thou holdest mine eyelids awake; I am so troubled that lo adaber (I cannot speak).

⁵⁽⁶⁾I have considered the yamim mikedem (days of old), the shnot olamim (years long past).

⁶⁽⁷⁾I called to remembrance my neginah balailah (song in the night); I communed with mine own lev; and my ruach pondered with diligent search.

⁷⁽⁸⁾Will Adonoi cast off forever? And will He show favor no more?

⁸⁽⁹⁾Is His chesed passed away forever? Is His promise at an end l’dor vador?

⁹⁽¹⁰⁾Hath El (G-d) forgotten to be channot (gracious)? Hath He in anger shut up His rachamim (mercy)? Selah.

¹⁰⁽¹¹⁾And I said, This is my affliction; but I will remember the shanot of the Yemin Elyon (Right Hand of the Most High).

¹¹⁽¹²⁾I will remember the deeds of Hashem; surely I will remember Thy wonders mikedem (of old, of long ago).

¹²⁽¹³⁾I will meditate also on kol po’al (all work) of Thine, and consider Thy mighty deeds.

¹³⁽¹⁴⁾Thy Derech, O Elohim, is bakodesh (in holiness). Who is so gadol El as Elohim?

¹⁴⁽¹⁵⁾Thou art HaEl oseh peleh (the G-d that doest wonders); Thou hast declared Thy oz (strength) among the amim (peoples, nations).

¹⁵⁽¹⁶⁾Thou hast with Thine zero’a (strong arm) redeemed Thy people, the Bnei Ya’akov and Yosef. Selah.

¹⁶⁽¹⁷⁾The mayim saw Thee, O Elohim, the mayim saw Thee; they were afraid; the tehomot (ocean depths) also writhed.

¹⁷⁽¹⁸⁾The clouds poured down mayim; the skies resounded in thunder; Thine khitzim (arrows, i.e., lightning bolts) also went forth

¹⁸⁽¹⁹⁾The voice of Thy thunder was in the galgal (whirlwind); the lightning lit up the tevel (world); ha’aretz trembled and quaked.

¹⁹⁽²⁰⁾Thy derech is in the yam (sea), and Thy path is through the mayim rabbim (great waters), and Thy footsteps are not to be discerned.

²⁰⁽²¹⁾Thou didst lead Thy people like a tzon (flock) by the yad Moshe and Aharon.
