Psalms 77

NEW JERUSALEM	STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH
1 [For the choirmaster . . . Jeduthun Of Asaph Psalm] I cry to God in distress, I cry to God and he hearsme.	1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל־ [יְדִיתוּן כ] (יְדוּתוּן ק) לְאָסָף מִזְמֹור
2 In the day of my distress I sought the Lord; al night I tirelessly stretched out my hands, my heartrefused to be consoled.	2 קֹולִי אֶל־אֱלֹהִים וְאֶצְעָקָה קֹולִי אֶל־אֱלֹהִים וְהַאֲזִין אֵלָי
3 I sigh as I think of God, my spirit faints away as I ponder on him. Pause	3 בְּיֹום צָרָתִי אֲדֹנָי דָּרָשְׁתִּי יָדִי ׀ לַיְלָה נִגְּרָה וְלֹא תָפוּג מֵאֲנָה הִנָּחֵם נַפְשִׁי
4 You kept me from closing my eyes, I was too distraught to speak;	4 אֶזְכְּרָה אֱלֹהִים וְאֶהֱמָיָה אָשִׂיחָה ׀ וְתִתְעַטֵּף רוּחִי סֶלָה
5 I thought of former times, years long past	5 אָחַזְתָּ שְׁמֻרֹות עֵינָי נִפְעַמְתִּי וְלֹא אֲדַבֵּר
6 I recalled; through the night I ponder in my heart, as I reflect, my spirit asks this question:	6 חִשַּׁבְתִּי יָמִים מִקֶּדֶם נֹות עֹולָמִים
7 Is the Lord's rejection final? Will he never show favour again?	7 אֶזְכְּרָה נְגִינָתִי בַּלָּיְלָה עִם־לְבָבִי אָשִׂיחָה וַיְחַפֵּשׂ רוּחִי
8 Is his faithful love gone for ever? Has his Word come to an end for al time?	8 הַלְעֹולָמִים יִזְנַח ׀ אֲדֹנָי וְלֹא־יֹסִיף לִרְצֹות עֹוד
9 Does God forget to show mercy? In anger does he shut off his tenderness?Pause	9 הֶאָפֵס לָנֶצַח חַסְדֹּו גָּמַר אֹמֶר לְדֹר וָדֹר
10 And I said, 'This is what wounds me, the right hand of the Most High has lost its strength.'	10 הֲשָׁכַח חַנֹּות אֵל אִם־קָפַץ בְּאַף רַחֲמָיו סֶלָה
11 Remembering Yahweh's great deeds, remembering your wonders in the past,	11 וָאֹמַר חַלֹּותִי הִיא נֹות יְמִין עֶלְיֹון
12 I reflect on al that you did, I ponder all your great deeds.	12 [אַזְכִּיר כ] (אֶזְכֹּור ק) מַעַלְלֵי־יָהּ כִּי־אֶזְכְּרָה מִקֶּדֶם פִּלְאֶךָ
13 God, your ways are holy! What god is as great as our God?	13 וְהָגִיתִי בְכָל־פָּעֳלֶךָ וּבַעֲלִילֹותֶיךָ אָשִׂיחָה
14 You are the God who does marvel ous deeds, brought nations to acknowledge your power,	14 אֱלֹהִים בַּקֹּדֶשׁ דַּרְכֶּךָ מִי־אֵל גָּדֹול כֵּאלֹהִים
15 with your own arm redeeming your people, the children of Jacob and Joseph.Pause	15 אַתָּה הָאֵל עֹשֵׂה פֶלֶא הֹודַעְתָּ בָעַמִּים עֻזֶּךָ
16 When the waters saw you, God, when the waters saw you they writhed in anguish, the very depthsshook with fear.	16 גָּאַלְתָּ בִּזְרֹועַ עַמֶּךָ בְּנֵי־יַעֲקֹב וְיֹוסֵף סֶלָה
17 The clouds pelted down water, the sky thundered, your arrows shot back and forth.	17 רָאוּךָ מַּיִם ׀ אֱ‍לֹהִים רָאוּךָ מַּיִם יָחִילוּ אַף יִרְגְּזוּ תְהֹמֹות
18 The rol ing of your thunder was heard, your lightning-flashes lit up the world, the earth shuddered andshook.	18 זֹרְמוּ מַיִם ׀ עָבֹות קֹול נָתְנוּ שְׁחָקִים אַף־חֲצָצֶיךָ יִתְהַלָּכוּ
19 Your way led over the sea, your path over the countless waters, and none could trace your footsteps.	19 קֹול רַעַמְךָ ׀ בַּגַּלְגַּל הֵאִירוּ בְרָקִים תֵּבֵל רָגְזָה וַתִּרְעַשׁ הָאָרֶץ
20 You guided your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.	20 בַּיָּם דַּרְכֶּךָ [וּשְׁבִילֶיךָ כ] (וּשְׁבִילְךָ ק) בְּמַיִם רַבִּים וְעִקְּבֹותֶיךָ לֹא נֹדָעוּ
	21 נָחִיתָ כַצֹּאן עַמֶּךָ בְּיַד־מֹשֶׁה וְאַהֲרֹן
