See Hebrew/Greek in BSB →

77Verse 1(For the one directing. Set to Yedutun. Mizmor of Asaph)Verse 2I cried unto Elohim with my voice,
even unto Elohim with my voice; and He gave ear unto me.
Verse 3In my yom tzoros (day of trouble) I sought Adonoi;
my hand was stretched up in the lailah, and ceased not;
my nefesh refused to be comforted.
Verse 4I remembered Elohim, and groaned;
I pondered, and my ruach was overwhelmed.
Selah
Verse 5Thou holdest mine eyelids awake;
I am so troubled that lo adaber (I cannot speak).
Verse 6I have considered the yamim mikedem (days of old),
the shnot olamim (years long past).
Verse 7I called to remembrance my neginah balailah (song in the night);
I communed with mine own lev;
and my ruach pondered with diligent search.
Verse 8Will Adonoi cast off forever?
And will He show favor no more?
Verse 9Is His chesed passed away forever?
Is His promise at an end l'dor vador?
Verse 10Hath El (G-d) forgotten to be channot (gracious)?
Hath He in anger shut up His rachamim (mercy)?
Selah
Verse 11And I said, This is my affliction;
but I will remember the shanot of the Yemin Elyon (Right Hand of the Most High).
Verse 12I will remember the deeds of Hashem;
surely I will remember Thy wonders mikedem (of old, of long ago).
Verse 13I will meditate also on kol po'al (all work) of Thine,
and consider Thy mighty deeds.
Verse 14Thy Derech, O Elohim, is bakodesh (in holiness).
Who is so gadol El as Elohim?
Verse 15Thou art HaEl oseh peleh (the G-d that doest wonders);
Thou hast declared Thy oz (strength) among the amim (peoples, nations).
Verse 16Thou hast with Thine zero'a (strong arm) redeemed Thy people,
the Bnei Ya'akov and Yosef.
Selah
Verse 17The mayim saw Thee, O Elohim,
the mayim saw Thee; they were afraid;
the tehomot (ocean depths) also writhed.
Verse 18The clouds poured down mayim;
the skies resounded in thunder;
Thine khitzim (arrows)+also went forth.
Verse 19The voice of Thy thunder was in the galgal (whirlwind);
the lightning lit up the tevel (world);
ha'aretz trembled and quaked.
Verse 20Thy derech is in the yam (sea),
and Thy path is through the mayim rabbim (great waters),
and Thy footsteps are not to be discerned.
Verse 21Thou didst lead Thy people like a tzon (flock)
by the yad Moshe and Aharon.
