‏ Psalms 77

1For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. 2I will lift up my voice unto G-d, an cry; I will lift up my voice unto G-d, that He may give ear unto me. 3In the day of my trouble I seek the L-rd; with my hand uplifted, mine eye streameth in the night without ceasing; my soul refuseth to be comforted. 4When I think thereon, O G-d, I must moan; when I muse thereon, my spirit fainteth. Selah 5Thou holdest fast the lids of mine eyes; I am troubled, and cannot speak. 6I have pondered the days of old, the years of ancient times. 7In the night I will call to remembrance my song; I will commune with mine own heart; and my spirit maketh diligent search: 8'Will the L-rd cast off for ever? and will He be favourable no more? 9Is His mercy clean gone for ever? Is His promise come to an end for evermore? 10Hath G-d forgotten to be gracious? Hath He in anger shut up his compassions?' Selah 11And I say: 'This is my weakness, that the right hand of the Most High could change. 12I will make mention of the deeds of HaShem; yea, I will remember Thy wonders of old. 13I will meditate also upon all Thy work, and muse on Thy doings.' 14O G-d, Thy way is in holiness; who is a great god like unto G-d? 15Thou art the G-d that doest wonders; Thou hast made known Thy strength among the peoples. 16Thou hast with Thine arm redeemed Thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah 17The waters saw Thee, O G-d; the waters saw Thee, they were in pain; the depths also trembled. 18The clouds flooded forth waters; the skies sent out a sound; Thine arrows also went abroad. 19The voice of Thy thunder was in the whirlwind; the lightnings lighted up the world; the earth trembled and shook. 20Thy way was in the sea, and Thy path in the great waters, and Thy footsteps were not known. 21Thou didst lead Thy people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
