Psalm 76

1 Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ὑπὲρ Ἰδιθούν· ψαλμὸς τῷ Ἀσάφ.

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.

2 ΦΩΝ… μου πρὸς Κύριον ἐκέκραξα, φωνῇ μου πρὸς τὸν Θεόν, καὶ προσέσχε μοι.

2 In the English, this verse is part of verse 1.

3 ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεώς μου τὸν Θεὸν ἐξεζήτησα, ταῖς χερσί μου νυκτὸς ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἠπατήθην· ἀπηνήνατο παρακληθῆναι ἡ ψυχή μου.

3 In 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. (verse 2 in Brenton's English)

4 ἐμνήσθην τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ εὐφράνθην· ἠδολέσχησα, καὶ ὠλιγοψύχησε τὸ πνεῦμά μου. (διάψαλμα).

4 I remembered God, and rejoiced; I poured out my complaint, and my soul fainted. Pause. (verse 3 in Brenton's English)

5 προκατελάβοντο φυλακὰς οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου, ἐταράχθην καὶ οὐκ ἐλάλησα.

5 All my enemies set a watch [against me]: I was troubled, and spoke not. (verse 4 in Brenton's English)

6 διελογισάμην ἡμέρας ἀρχαίας, καὶ ἔτη αἰώνια ἐμνήσθην καὶ ἐμελέτησα·

6 I considered the days of old, and remembered ancient years. (verse 5 in Brenton's English)

7 νυκτὸς μετὰ τῆς καρδίας μου ἠδολέσχουν, καὶ ἔσκαλλε τὸ πνεῦμά μου.

7 And I meditated; I communed with my heart by night, and diligently searched my spirit, [saying], (verse 6 in Brenton's English)

8 μὴ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας ἀπώσεται Κύριος καὶ οὐ προσθήσει τοῦ εὐδοκῆσαι ἔτι;

8 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be well pleased no more? (verse 7 in Brenton's English)

9 ἢ εἰς τέλος τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ ἀποκόψει; συνετέλεσε ρῆμα ἀπὸ γενεᾶς εἰς γενεάν;

9 Will he cut off his mercy for ever, even for ever and ever? (verse 8 in Brenton's English)

10 μὴ ἐπιλήσεται τοῦ οἰκτειρῆσαι ὁ Θεός; ἢ συνέξει ἐν τῇ ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ τοὺς οἰκτιρμοὺς αὐτοῦ; (διάψαλμα).

10 Will God forget to pity? or will he shut up his compassions in his wrath? Pause. (verse 9 in Brenton's English)

11 καὶ εἶπα· νῦν ἠρξάμην, αὕτη ἡ ἀλλοίωσις τῆς δεξιᾶς τοῦ Ὑψίστου.

11 And I said, Now I have begun; this is the change of the right hand of the Most High. (verse 10 in Brenton's English)

12 ἐμνήσθην τῶν ἔργων Κυρίου, ὅτι μνησθήσομαι ἀπὸ τῆς ἀρχῆς τῶν θαυμασίων σου

12 I remembered the works of the Lord; for I will remember your wonders from the beginning. (verse 11 in Brenton's English)

13 καὶ μελετήσω ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἔργοις σου καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐπιτηδεύμασί σου ἀδολεσχήσω.

13 And I will meditate on all your works, and will consider your doings. (verse 12 in Brenton's English)

14 ὁ Θεός, ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ ἡ ὁδός σου· τίς Θεὸς μέγας ὡς ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν;

14 O God, your way is in the sanctuary; who is a great God as our God? (verse 13 in Brenton's English)

15 σὺ εἶ ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ποιῶν θαυμάσια, ἐγνώρισας ἐν τοῖς λαοῖς τὴν δύναμίν σου·

15 You are the God that do wonders; you have made known your power amongst the nations. (verse 14 in Brenton's English)

16 ἐλυτρώσω ἐν τῷ βραχίονί σου τὸν λαόν σου, τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰακὼβ καὶ Ἰωσήφ. (διάψαλμα).

16 You have with your arm redeemed your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Pause. (verse 15 in Brenton's English)

17 εἴδοσάν σε ὕδατα, ὁ Θεός, εἴδοσάν σε ὕδατα καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν, ἐταράχθησαν ἄβυσσοι,

17 The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you, and feared; and the depths were troubled. (verse 16 in Brenton's English)

18 πλῆθος ἤχους ὑδάτων, φωνὴν ἔδωκαν αἱ νεφέλαι, καὶ γὰρ τὰ βέλη σου διαπορεύονται·

18 [There was] an abundant sound of waters: the clouds uttered a voice; for your arrows went abroad. (verse 17 in Brenton's English)

19 φωνὴ τῆς βροντῆς σου ἐν τῷ τροχῷ, ἔφαναν αἱ ἀστραπαί σου τῇ οἰκουμένῃ, ἐσαλεύθη καὶ ἔντρομος ἐγενήθη ἡ γῆ.

19 The voice of your thunder was abroad, and around your lightnings appeared to the world; the earth trembled a quaked. (verse 18 in Brenton's English)

20 ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ αἱ ὁδοί σου, καὶ αἱ τρίβοι σου ἐν ὕδασι πολλοῖς, καὶ τὰ ἴχνη σου οὐ γνωσθήσονται.

20 Your way is in the sea, and your paths in many waters, and your footsteps can’t be known. (verse 19 in Brenton's English)

21 ὡδήγησας ὡς πρόβατα τὸν λαόν σου ἐν χειρὶ Μωϋσῆ καὶ Ἀαρών.

21 You did guide your people as sheep by the hand of Moses and Aaron. (verse 20 in Brenton's English)
