Psalms 76-77
Chapter 76
Psalm 76
God, the Powerful Judge
For the choir director: with stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph.(a) A song.
1 God is known in Judah;
His name is great in Israel.(b)
2 His tent is in Salem,[a]
His dwelling place in Zion.(c)
3 There He shatters the bow's flaming arrows,
the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war.(d)
4 You are resplendent and majestic
coming down from the mountains of prey.(e)
5 The brave-hearted have been plundered;
they have slipped into their final sleep.
None of the warriors was able to lift a hand.(f)
6 At Your rebuke, God of Jacob,
both chariot and horse lay still.(g)
7 And You—You are to be feared.[b]
When You are angry,
who can stand before You?(h)
8 From heaven You pronounced judgment.
The earth feared and grew quiet(i)
9 when God rose up to judge
and to save all the lowly of the earth.(j)
10 Even human wrath will praise You;
You will clothe Yourself
with their remaining wrath.[c](k)
11 Make and keep your vows
to the
Lord
your God;(l)
let all who are around Him bring tribute
to the awe-inspiring One.[d](m)
12 He humbles the spirit of leaders;
He is feared by the kings of the earth.(n)
Chapter 77
Psalm 77
Confidence in a Time of Crisis
For the choir director: according to Jeduthun. Of Asaph.(a) A psalm.
1 I cry aloud to God,
aloud to God, and He will hear me.(b)
2 I sought the Lord in my day of trouble.
My hands were continually lifted up
all night long;
I refused to be comforted.(c)
3 I think of God; I groan;
I meditate; my spirit becomes weak.(d)
4 You have kept me from closing my eyes;
I am troubled and cannot speak.(e)
5 I consider days of old,
years long past.(f)
6 At night I remember my music;
I meditate in my heart, and my spirit ponders.(g)
7 "Will the Lord reject forever
and never again show favor?(h)
8 Has His faithful love ceased forever?
Is His promise at an end for all generations?(i)
9 Has God forgotten to be gracious?
Has He in anger withheld His compassion?"(j)
10 So I say, "I am grieved[a]
that the right hand of the Most High has changed."(k)
11 I will remember the
Lord
's works;
yes, I will remember Your ancient wonders.(l)
12 I will reflect on all You have done
and meditate on Your actions.(m)
13 God, Your way is holy.
What god is great like God?(n)
14 You are the God who works wonders;
You revealed Your strength among the peoples.(o)
15 With power You redeemed Your people,
the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.(p)
16 The waters saw You, God.
The waters saw You; they trembled.
Even the depths shook.(q)
17 The clouds poured down water.
The storm clouds thundered;
Your arrows flashed back and forth.(r)
18 The sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind;
lightning lit up the world.(s)
The earth shook and quaked.(t)
19 Your way went through the sea
and Your path through the great waters,
but Your footprints were unseen.(u)
20 You led Your people like a flock(v)
by the hand of Moses and Aaron.(w)
