Psalms 77

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.	1 For the leader; al Jeduthun. A psalm of Asaph.
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.	2 I cry aloud to God, cry to God to hear me.
3 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.	3 On the day of my distress I seek the Lord; by night my hands are raised unceasingly; I refuse to be consoled.
4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.	4 When I think of God, I groan; as I ponder, my spirit grows faint. Selah
5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.	5 My eyes cannot close in sleep; I am troubled and cannot speak.
6 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.	6 I consider the days of old; the years long past
7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?	7 I remember. In the night I meditate in my heart; I ponder and my spirit broods:
8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?	8 "Will the Lord reject us forever, never again show favor?
9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.	9 Has God's love ceased forever? Has the promise failed for all ages?
10 And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.	10 Has God forgotten mercy, in anger withheld compassion?" Selah
11 I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.	11 I conclude: "My sorrow is this, the right hand of the Most High has left us."
12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.	12 I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, your wonders of old I will remember.
13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?	13 I will recite all your works; your exploits I will tell.
14 Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.	14 Your way, O God, is holy; what god is as great as our God?
15 Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.	15 You alone are the God who did wonders; among the peoples you revealed your might.
16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.	16 With your arm you redeemed your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
17 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.	17 The waters saw you, God; the waters saw you and lashed about, trembled even to their depths.
18 The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.	18 The clouds poured down their rains; the thunderheads rumbled; your arrows flashed back and forth.
19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.	19 The thunder of your chariot wheels resounded; your lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked.
20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.	20 Through the sea was your path; your way, through the mighty waters, though your footsteps were unseen.
	21 You led your people like a flock under the care of Moses and Aaron.
