1 To the chief music-maker. After Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A Psalm.

2 \77:1\I was crying to God with my voice; even to God with my voice, and he gave ear to me.

3 \77:2\In the day of my trouble, my heart was turned to the Lord: my hand was stretched out in the night without resting; my soul would not be comforted.

4 \77:3\I will keep God in memory, with sounds of grief; my thoughts are troubled, and my spirit is overcome. (Selah.)

5 \77:4\You keep my eyes from sleep; I am so troubled that no words come.

6 \77:5\My thoughts go back to the days of the past, to the years which are gone.

7 \77:6\The memory of my song comes back to me in the night; my thoughts are moving in my heart; my spirit is searching with care.

8 \77:7\Will the Lord put me away for ever? will he be kind no longer?

9 \77:8\Is his mercy quite gone for ever? has his word come to nothing?

10 \77:9\Has God put away the memory of his pity? are his mercies shut up by his wrath? (Selah.)

11 \77:10\And I said, It is a weight on my spirit; but I will keep in mind the years of the right hand of the Most High.

12 \77:11\I will keep in mind the works of Jah: I will keep the memory of your wonders in the past.

13 \77:12\I will give thought to all your work, while my mind goes over your acts of power.

14 \77:13\Your way, O God, is holy: what god is so great as our God?

15 \77:14\You are the God who does works of power: you have made your strength clear to the nations.

16 \77:15\With your arm you have made your people free, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah.)

17 \77:16\The waters saw you, O God; the waters saw you, they were in fear: even the deep was troubled.

18 \77:17\The clouds sent out water; the skies gave out a sound; truly, your arrows went far and wide.

19 \77:18\The voice of your thunder went rolling on; the world was flaming with the light of the storm; the earth was shaking.

20 \77:19\Your way was in the sea, and your road in the great waters; there was no knowledge of your footsteps.

21 \77:20\You were guiding your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

1 Clamo a Deus por socorro; clamo a Deus que me escute.

2 Quando estou angustiado, busco o Senhor; de noite estendo as mãos sem cessar; a minha alma está inconsolável!

3 Lembro-me de ti, ó Deus, e suspiro; começo a meditar, e o meu espírito desfalece. Pausa

4 Não me permites fechar os olhos; tão inquieto estou que não consigo falar.

5 Fico a pensar nos dias que se foram, nos anos há muito passados;

6 de noite recordo minhas canções. O meu coração medita, e o meu espírito pergunta:

7 "Irá o Senhor rejeitar-nos para sempre? Jamais tornará a mostrar-nos o seu favor?

8 Desapareceu para sempre o seu amor? Acabou-se a sua promessa?

9 Esqueceu-se Deus de ser misericordioso? Em sua ira refreou sua compaixão? " Pausa

10 Então pensei: a razão da minha dor é que a mão direita do Altíssimo não age mais.

11 Recordarei os feitos do Senhor; recordarei os teus antigos milagres.

12 Meditarei em todas as tuas obras e considerarei todos os teus feitos.

13 Teus caminhos, ó Deus, são santos. Que deus é tão grande como o nosso Deus?

14 Tu és o Deus que realiza milagres; mostras o teu poder entre os povos.

15 Com o teu braço forte resgataste o teu povo, os descendentes de Jacó e de José. Pausa

16 As águas te viram, ó Deus, as águas te viram e se contorceram; até os abismos estremeceram.

17 As nuvens despejaram chuvas, ressoou nos céus o trovão; as tuas flechas reluziam em todas as direções.

18 No redemoinho, estrondou o teu trovão, os teus relâmpagos iluminaram o mundo; a terra tremeu e sacudiu-se.

19 A tua vereda passou pelo mar, o teu caminho pelas águas poderosas, e ninguém viu as tuas pegadas.

20 Guiaste o teu povo como a um rebanho pela mão de Moisés e de Arão.
