Psalm 77
NET Parallel NIV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
NET BibleNew International Version
1For the music director, Jeduthun; a psalm of Asaph. I will cry out to God and call for help! I will cry out to God and he will pay attention to me. 1For the director of music. For Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A psalm. I cried out to God for help; I cried out to God to hear me.
2In my time of trouble I sought the Lord. I kept my hand raised in prayer throughout the night. I refused to be comforted. 2When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; at night I stretched out untiring hands, and I would not be comforted.
3I said, "I will remember God while I groan; I will think about him while my strength leaves me." (Selah) 3I remembered you, God, and I groaned; I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.
4You held my eyelids open; I was troubled and could not speak. 4You kept my eyes from closing; I was too troubled to speak.
5I thought about the days of old, about ancient times. 5I thought about the former days, the years of long ago;
6I said, "During the night I will remember the song I once sang; I will think very carefully." I tried to make sense of what was happening. 6I remembered my songs in the night. My heart meditated and my spirit asked:
7I asked, "Will the Lord reject me forever? Will he never again show me his favor? 7"Will the Lord reject forever? Will he never show his favor again?
8Has his loyal love disappeared forever? Has his promise failed forever? 8Has his unfailing love vanished forever? Has his promise failed for all time?
9Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has his anger stifled his compassion?" 9Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has he in anger withheld his compassion?"
10Then I said, "I am sickened by the thought that the sovereign One might become inactive. 10Then I thought, "To this I will appeal: the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand.
11I will remember the works of the LORD. Yes, I will remember the amazing things you did long ago! 11I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.
12I will think about all you have done; I will reflect upon your deeds!" 12I will consider all your works and meditate on all your mighty deeds."
13O God, your deeds are extraordinary! What god can compare to our great God? 13Your ways, God, are holy. What god is as great as our God?
14You are the God who does amazing things; you have revealed your strength among the nations. 14You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples.
15You delivered your people by your strength--the children of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah) 15With your mighty arm you redeemed your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.
16The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you and trembled. Yes, the depths of the sea shook with fear. 16The waters saw you, God, the waters saw you and writhed; the very depths were convulsed.
17The clouds poured down rain; the skies thundered. Yes, your arrows flashed about. 17The clouds poured down water, the heavens resounded with thunder; your arrows flashed back and forth.
18Your thunderous voice was heard in the wind; the lightning bolts lit up the world; the earth trembled and shook. 18Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind, your lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked.
19You walked through the sea; you passed through the surging waters, but left no footprints. 19Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen.
20You led your people like a flock of sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron. 20You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
