Psalms 77

לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ עַֽל־(ידיתון) [יְדוּת֗וּן] לְאָסָ֥ף מִזְמֽוֹר׃

קוֹלִ֣י אֶל־אֱלֹהִ֣ים וְאֶצְעָ֑קָה קוֹלִ֥י אֶל־אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים וְהַאֲזִ֥ין אֵלָֽי׃

For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. I cried out to God; I cried aloud to God to hear me.

To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph.

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

בְּי֥וֹם צָרָתִי֮ אֲדֹנָ֪י דָּ֫רָ֥שְׁתִּי יָדִ֤י ׀ לַ֣יְלָה נִ֭גְּרָה וְלֹ֣א תָפ֑וּג מֵאֲנָ֖ה הִנָּחֵ֣ם נַפְשִֽׁי׃

In the day of trouble I sought the Lord; through the night my outstretched hands did not grow weary; my soul refused to be comforted.

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.

אֶזְכְּרָ֣ה אֱלֹהִ֣ים וְאֶֽהֱמָיָ֑ה אָשִׂ֓יחָה ׀ וְתִתְעַטֵּ֖ף רוּחִ֣י סֶֽלָה׃

I remembered You, O God, and I groaned; I mused and my spirit grew faint. Selah

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

אָ֭חַזְתָּ שְׁמֻר֣וֹת עֵינָ֑י נִ֝פְעַ֗מְתִּי וְלֹ֣א אֲדַבֵּֽר׃

You have kept my eyes from closing; I am too troubled to speak.

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

חִשַּׁ֣בְתִּי יָמִ֣ים מִקֶּ֑דֶם שְׁ֝נ֗וֹת עוֹלָמִֽים׃

I considered the days of old, the years long in the past.

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

אֶֽזְכְּרָ֥ה נְגִינָתִ֗י בַּ֫לָּ֥יְלָה עִם־לְבָבִ֥י אָשִׂ֑יחָה וַיְחַפֵּ֥שׂ רוּחִֽי׃

At night I remembered my song; in my heart I mused, and my spirit pondered:

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

הַֽ֭לְעוֹלָמִים יִזְנַ֥ח ׀ אֲדֹנָ֑י וְלֹֽא־יֹסִ֖יף לִרְצ֣וֹת עֽוֹד׃

“Will the Lord spurn us forever and never show His favor again?

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

הֶאָפֵ֣ס לָנֶ֣צַח חַסְדּ֑וֹ גָּ֥מַר אֹ֝֗מֶר לְדֹ֣ר וָדֹֽר׃

Is His loving devotion gone forever? Has His promise failed for all time?

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

הֲשָׁכַ֣ח חַנּ֣וֹת אֵ֑ל אִם־קָפַ֥ץ בְּ֝אַ֗ף רַחֲמָ֥יו סֶֽלָה׃

Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has His anger shut off His compassion?” Selah

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

וָ֭אֹמַר חַלּ֣וֹתִי הִ֑יא שְׁ֝נ֗וֹת יְמִ֣ין עֶלְיֽוֹן׃

So I said, “I am grieved that the right hand of the Most High has changed.”

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

(אזכיר) [אֶזְכּ֥וֹר] מַֽעַלְלֵי־יָ֑הּ כִּֽי־אֶזְכְּרָ֖ה מִקֶּ֣דֶם פִּלְאֶֽךָ׃

I will remember the works of the LORD; yes, I will remember Your wonders of old.

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

וְהָגִ֥יתִי בְכָל־פָּעֳלֶ֑ךָ וּֽבַעֲלִ֖ילוֹתֶ֣יךָ אָשִֽׂיחָה׃

I will reflect on all You have done and ponder Your mighty deeds.

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

אֱ֭לֹהִים בַּקֹּ֣דֶשׁ דַּרְכֶּ֑ךָ מִי־אֵ֥ל גָּ֝ד֗וֹל כֵּֽאלֹהִֽים׃

Your way, O God, is holy. What god is so great as our God?

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

אַתָּ֣ה הָ֭אֵל עֹ֣שֵׂה פֶ֑לֶא הוֹדַ֖עְתָּ בָעַמִּ֣ים עֻזֶּֽךָ׃

You are the God who works wonders; You display Your strength among the peoples.

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

גָּאַ֣לְתָּ בִּזְר֣וֹעַ עַמֶּ֑ךָ בְּנֵי־יַעֲקֹ֖ב וְיוֹסֵ֣ף סֶֽלָה׃

With power You redeemed Your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

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

רָ֘א֤וּךָ מַּ֨יִם ׀ אֱֽלֹהִ֗ים רָא֣וּךָ מַּ֣יִם יָחִ֑ילוּ אַ֝֗ף יִרְגְּז֥וּ תְהֹמֽוֹת׃

The waters saw You, O God; the waters saw You and swirled; even the depths were shaken.

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

זֹ֤רְמוּ מַ֨יִם ׀ עָב֗וֹת ק֭וֹל נָתְנ֣וּ שְׁחָקִ֑ים אַף־חֲ֝צָצֶ֗יךָ יִתְהַלָּֽכוּ׃

The clouds poured down water; the skies resounded with thunder; Your arrows flashed back and forth.

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

ק֤וֹל רַעַמְךָ֨ ׀ בַּגַּלְגַּ֗ל הֵאִ֣ירוּ בְרָקִ֣ים תֵּבֵ֑ל רָגְזָ֖ה וַתִּרְעַ֣שׁ הָאָֽרֶץ׃

Your thunder resounded in the whirlwind; the lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked.

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

בַּיָּ֤ם דַּרְכֶּ֗ךָ (ושביליך) [וּֽ֭שְׁבִֽילְךָ] בְּמַ֣יִם רַבִּ֑ים וְ֝עִקְּבוֹתֶ֗יךָ לֹ֣א נֹדָֽעוּ׃

Your path led through the sea, Your way through the mighty waters, but Your footprints were not to be found.

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

נָחִ֣יתָ כַצֹּ֣אן עַמֶּ֑ךָ בְּֽיַד־מֹשֶׁ֥ה וְאַהֲרֹֽן׃

You led Your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

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