1(77) For the end, for Idithun, a Psalm of Asaph. I cried to the Lord with my voice, yes, my voice [was addressed] to God; and he gave heed to me.
1For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm by Asaph. A song. In Judah, God is known. His name is great in Israel.
2In the day of my affliction I earnestly sought the Lord; [even] with my hands by night before him, and I was not deceived; my soul refused to be comforted.
2His tabernacle is also in Salem. His dwelling place in Zion.
3I remembered God, and rejoiced; I poured out my complaint, and my soul fainted. Pause.
3There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah.
4All my enemies set a watch [against me]: I was troubled, and spoke not.
4Glorious are you, and excellent, more than mountains of game.
5I considered the days of old, and remembered ancient years.
5Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep. None of the men of war can lift their hands.
6And I meditated; I communed with my heart by night, and diligently searched my spirit, [saying],
6At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
7Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be well pleased no more?
7You, even you, are to be feared. Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?
8Will he cut off his mercy for ever, even for ever and ever?
8You pronounced judgment from heaven. The earth feared, and was silent,
9Will God forget to pity? or will he shut up his compassions in his wrath? Pause.
9when God arose to judgment, to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. Selah.
10And I said, Now I have begun; this is the change of the right hand of the Most High.
10Surely the wrath of man praises you. The survivors of your wrath are restrained.
11I remembered the works of the Lord; for I will remember your wonders from the beginning.
11Make vows to Yahweh your God, and fulfill them! Let all of his neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared.
12And I will meditate on all your works, and will consider your doings.
12He will cut off the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth.
