Psalmorum 77

1 in finem pro Idithun psalmus Asaph voce mea ad Dominum clamavi voce mea ad Deum et intendit me

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 in die tribulationis meae Deum exquisivi manibus meis nocte contra eum et non sum deceptus rennuit consolari anima mea

In the day of mine 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.

3 memor fui Dei et delectatus sum exercitatus sum et defecit spiritus meus diapsalma

I remembered God, and rejoiced; I poured out my complaint, and my soul fainted. (Pause)

4 anticipaverunt vigilias oculi mei turbatus sum et non sum locutus

All mine enemies set a watch [against me]: I was troubled, and spoke not.

5 cogitavi dies antiquos et annos aeternos in mente habui

I considered the days of old, and remembered ancient years.

6 et meditatus sum nocte cum corde meo exercitabar et scobebam spiritum meum

And I meditated; I communed with my heart by night, and diligently searched my spirit, [saying],

7 numquid in aeternum proiciet Deus et non adponet ut conplacitior sit adhuc

Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be well pleased no more?

8 aut in finem misericordiam suam abscidet a generatione in generationem

Will he cut off his mercy for ever, even for ever and ever?

9 aut obliviscetur misereri Deus aut continebit in ira sua misericordias suas diapsalma

Will God forget to pity? or will he shut up his compassions in his wrath? (Pause)

10 et dixi nunc coepi haec mutatio dexterae Excelsi

And I said, Now I have begun; this is the change of the right hand of the Most High.

11 memor fui operum Domini quia memor ero ab initio mirabilium tuorum

I remembered the works of the Lord; for I will remember your wonders from the beginning.

12 et meditabor in omnibus operibus tuis et in adinventionibus tuis exercebor

And I will meditate on all your works, and will consider your doings.

13 Deus in sancto via tua quis deus magnus sicut Deus noster

O God, your way is in the sanctuary; who is a great God as our God?

14 tu es Deus qui facis mirabilia notam fecisti in populis virtutem tuam

You are the God that do wonders; you have made known your power among the nations.

15 redemisti in brachio tuo populum tuum filios Iacob et Ioseph diapsalma

You have with your arm redeemed your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Pause)

16 viderunt te aquae Deus viderunt te aquae et timuerunt et turbatae sunt abyssi

The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you, and feared; and the depths were troubled.

17 multitudo sonitus aquarum vocem dederunt nubes etenim sagittae tuae transeunt

[There was] an abundant sound of waters: the clouds uttered a voice; for your arrows went abroad.

18 vox tonitrui tui in rota inluxerunt coruscationes tuae orbi terrae commota est et contremuit terra

The voice of your thunder was abroad, and around your lightnings appeared to the world; the earth trembled a quaked.

19 in mari via tua et semitae tuae in aquis multis et vestigia tua non cognoscentur

Your way is in the sea, and your paths in many waters, and your footsteps can’t be known.

20 deduxisti sicut oves populum tuum in manu Mosi et Aaron

You did guide your people as sheep by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
