Psalm 77

I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.

I called out to God, pouring my heart out, and He listened to me.

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.

During my darkest days, I reached out to God. My pain was relentless, keeping me awake at night. My spirit was so broken, it wouldn't accept comfort.

I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.

I thought of God and felt uneasy; I voiced my concerns and my soul felt heavy. Pause and reflect.

Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

You keep my eyes open, my troubles are so deep that words escape me.

I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

I've pondered on the days long past, the years of yesteryears.

I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.

I remember my night-time melodies, I engage in deep conversation with my heart, and my spirit tirelessly seeks understanding.

Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?

Will God abandon us forever? Has his kindness ceased forever?

Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?

Has his compassion vanished forever? Has his promise been broken forever?

Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.

Has God forgotten his kindness? Has his anger blocked his compassion? Pause and reflect.

And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.

I admitted, this is my weakness. Yet, I will cherish the times when the Almighty's strength was my guide.

I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.

I will cherish the deeds of the LORD, truly, I will treasure the miracles from times past.

I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.

I will deeply reflect on all your creations, and joyfully share the wonders of your deeds.

Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?

God, your path is found in sacred places. There is no one as magnificent as you.

Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.

You are the God who performs miracles; you've shown your power to everyone.

Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

With your mighty strength, you've saved your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. Pause and reflect.

The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.

When the waters glimpsed you, God, they trembled in awe and the depths stirred with unease.

The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.

The heavens wept, their tears cascading down. Their voices thundered, while your arrows of lightning flew far and wide.

The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.

The roar of your thunder echoed across the sky, your lightning illuminated the world, causing the earth to quiver in awe.

Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.

Your journey is like sailing in the ocean, your course is set in the vast waters, yet your steps remain a mystery.

Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

You guided your people, like a shepherd with his sheep, through the caring hands of Moses and Aaron.
