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.
1In Judah is God 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.
2In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.
3I remembered God, and rejoiced; I poured out my complaint, and my soul fainted. Pause.
3There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.
4All my enemies set a watch [against me]: I was troubled, and spoke not.
4Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.
5I considered the days of old, and remembered ancient years.
5The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.
6And I meditated; I communed with my heart by night, and diligently searched my spirit, [saying],
6At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
7Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be well pleased no more?
7Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
8Will he cut off his mercy for ever, even for ever and ever?
8Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
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 meek 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 shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.
11I remembered the works of the Lord; for I will remember your wonders from the beginning.
11Vow, and pay unto the Lord your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
12And I will meditate on all your works, and will consider your doings.
12He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
