77:1  I cry to the Lord; I call and call to him. Oh, that he would listen.
77:2  I am in deep trouble and I need his help so much. All night long I pray, lifting my hands to heaven, pleading. There can be no joy for me until he acts.
77:3  I think of God and moan, overwhelmed with longing for his help.
77:4  I cannot sleep until you act. I am too distressed even to pray!
77:5  I keep thinking of the good old days of the past, long since ended.
77:6  Then my nights were filled with joyous songs. I search my soul and meditate upon the difference now.
77:7  Has the Lord rejected me forever? Will he never again be favorable?
77:8  Is his loving-kindness gone forever? Has his promise failed?
77:9  Has he forgotten to be kind to one so undeserving? Has he slammed the door in anger on his love?
77:10  And I said: This is my fate, that the blessings of God have changed to hate.
77:11  I recall the many miracles he did for me so long ago.
77:12  Those wonderful deeds are constantly in my thoughts. I cannot stop thinking about them.
77:13  O God, your ways are holy. Where is there any other as mighty as you?
77:14  You are the God of miracles and wonders! You still demonstrate your awesome power.
77:15  You have redeemed us who are the sons of Jacob and of Joseph by your might.
77:16  When the Red Sea saw you, how it feared! It trembled to its depths!
77:17  The clouds poured down their rain, the thunder rolled and crackled in the sky. Your lightning flashed.
77:18  There was thunder in the whirlwind; the lightning lighted up the world! The earth trembled and shook.
77:19  Your road led by a pathway through the sea—a pathway no one knew was there!
77:20  You led your people along that road like a flock of sheep, with Moses and Aaron as their shepherds.
