Psalms 77

¹I cry out to God;

²Whenever have trouble, I pray to the Lord;

³When I think about God, I ◄despair/think that he will never help me►;

⁴All during the night he prevents me from sleeping;

⁵I think about days that have passed;

⁶I spend the whole night thinking about things;

⁷“Will the Lord always reject us?

⁸Has he stopped faithfully loving us?

⁹God promised to be merciful to us; has he forgotten that?

¹⁰Then I said, “What causes me to be very sad is that

¹¹But then, Yahweh, I recall/remember your great deeds;

¹²I meditate on all that you have done,

¹³God, everything that you do is holy;

¹⁴You are God, the one who performs miracles;

¹⁵By your power [MTY] you rescued your people from Egypt;

¹⁶It was as though the waters of the Red Sea saw you and became very afraid,

¹⁷Rain poured down from the clouds [PRS];

¹⁸Thunder crashed in the whirlwind,

¹⁹Then you walked through the sea

²⁰You led your people like a shepherd leads his flock of sheep,
