THE ORIGINAL BIBLE
for Modern Readers


"Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words . . . and keep the things that are written in it . . ."
Revelation 1:3 "Every Scripture is God-breathed and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." —2 Timothy 3:16-17

"For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart." —Hebrews 4:12

< previous     PSALM SEVENTY-SEVEN     next >

For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by Asaph.

1 My cry goes to God!

Indeed, I cry to God for help,

and for him to listen to me.

2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord.

My hand was stretched out in the night, and didn’t get tired.

My soul refused to be comforted.

3 I remember God, and I groan.

I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed.

Selah.

4 You hold my eyelids open.

I am so troubled that I can’t speak.

5 I have considered the days of old,

the years of ancient times.

6 I remember my song in the night.

I consider in my own heart;

my spirit diligently inquires:

7 “Will the Lord reject us forever?

Will he be favorable no more?

8 Has his loving kindness vanished forever?

Does his promise fail for generations?

9 Has God forgotten to be gracious?

Has he, in anger, withheld his compassion?”

Selah.

10 Then I thought, “I will appeal to this:

the years of the right hand of the Most High.”

11 I will remember Jah’s deeds;

for I will remember your wonders of old.

12 I will also meditate on all your work,

and consider your doings.

13 Your way, God, is in the sanctuary.

What god is great like God?

14 You are the God who does wonders.

You have made your strength known among the peoples.

15 You have redeemed your people with your arm,

the sons of Jacob and Joseph.

Selah.

16 The waters saw you, God.

The waters saw you, and they writhed.

The depths also convulsed.

17 The clouds poured out water.

The skies resounded with thunder.

Your arrows also flashed around.

18 The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind.

The lightnings lit up the world.

The earth trembled and shook.

19 Your way was through the sea;

your paths through the great waters.

Your footsteps were not known.

20 You led your people like a flock,

by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
