New Living Translation
Psalms • Chapter 77
1
I cry out to God (Elohim); yes, I shout.<br>Oh, that God (Elohim) would listen to me!<br>
2
When I was in deep trouble,<br>I searched for the Lord.<br>All night long I prayed, with hands lifted toward heaven,<br>but my soul was not comforted.<br>
3
I think of God (Elohim), and I moan,<br>overwhelmed with longing for his help. <i>Interlude</i><br>
4
You don’t let me sleep.<br>I am too distressed even to pray!<br>
5
I think of the good old days,<br>long since ended,<br>
6
when my nights were filled with joyful songs.<br>I search my soul and ponder the difference now.<br>
7
Has the Lord rejected me forever?<br>Will he never again be kind to me?<br>
8
Is his unfailing love gone forever?<br>Have his promises permanently failed?<br>
9
Has God (Elohim) forgotten to be gracious?<br>Has he slammed the door on his compassion? <i>Interlude</i><br>
10
And I said, “This is my fate;<br>the Most High has turned his hand against me.”<br>
11
But then I recall all you have done, O LORD;<br>I remember your wonderful deeds of long ago.<br>
12
They are constantly in my thoughts.<br>I cannot stop thinking about your mighty works.<br>
13
O God (Elohim), your ways are holy.<br>Is there any god as mighty as you?<br>
14
You are the God (Elohim) of great wonders!<br>You demonstrate your awesome power among the nations.<br>
15
By your strong arm, you redeemed your people,<br>the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. <i>Interlude</i><br>
16
When the Red Sea saw you, O God (Elohim),<br>its waters looked and trembled!<br>The sea quaked to its very depths.<br>
17
The clouds poured down rain;<br>the thunder rumbled in the sky.<br>Your arrows of lightning flashed.<br>
18
Your thunder roared from the whirlwind;<br>the lightning lit up the world!<br>The earth trembled and shook.<br>
19
Your road led through the sea,<br>your pathway through the mighty waters —<br>a pathway no one knew was there!<br>
20
You led your people along that road like a flock of sheep,<br>with Moses and Aaron as their shepherds.<br>
