< Psalms 77 >

1 For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. I cried out to God; I cried aloud to God to hear me.
阿撒夫的詩歌,交與樂官耶杜通。 我呼號,我的呼聲上達天主前,我向天主高呼,求他俯聽矜憐。
2 In the day of trouble I sought the Lord; through the night my outstretched hands did not grow weary; my soul refused to be comforted.
我在患難之日,尋求上主,雖整夜伸手,亦不覺辛苦,我的心靈且不接受安撫。
3 I remembered You, O God, and I groaned; I mused and my spirit grew faint.
我一懷念天主,即咨嗟哀歎,我一沉思考慮,即心灰意懶。
4 You have kept my eyes from closing; I am too troubled to speak.
您使我的眼睛徹夜不眠,我實煩燥難安,苦不堪言。
5 I considered the days of old, the years long in the past.
我回憶往昔的時日,我懷念過去的歲月。
6 At night I remembered my song; in my heart I mused, and my spirit pondered:
我的心靈夜間默默自問,我的神魂時時沉思質詢:
7 “Will the Lord spurn us forever and never show His favor again?
難道天主永遠拒絕,難道不再回顧憐愛?
8 Is His loving devotion gone forever? Has His promise failed for all time?
難道他的恩愛永遠停止,他的諾言也將永世廢棄?
9 Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has His anger shut off His compassion?”
難道天主忘記了慈悲﹖因憤怒而將慈愛關閉?
10 So I said, “I am grieved that the right hand of the Most High has changed.”
因此我說:這是我的苦難:至高者的右手已經改變。
11 I will remember the works of the LORD; yes, I will remember Your wonders of old.
我現今追念上主的作為,回想您往昔所行的奇蹟;
12 I will reflect on all You have done and ponder Your mighty deeds.
沉思您的一切所作所為,更要默想您的一切異事。
13 Your way, O God, is holy. What god is so great as our God?
天主,您的行徑完全在於聖化,何神像我們的天主如此偉大?
14 You are the God who works wonders; You display Your strength among the peoples.
只有您是施行奇蹟的天主!在萬民中彰顯了您的威武。
15 With power You redeemed Your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph.
您以臂力拯救了您的人民,就是雅各伯和若瑟的子孫。
16 The waters saw You, O God; the waters saw You and swirled; even the depths were shaken.
大水一旦看見您,天主,大水一見您就都恐怖,連深淵汪洋也都顫抖。
17 The clouds poured down water; the skies resounded with thunder; Your arrows flashed back and forth.
雲天大雨傾降,烏雲發出巨響,火箭滿天飛翔。
18 Your thunder resounded in the whirlwind; the lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked.
您的雷霆在旋風中發響,閃電也將整個世界照亮,大地驚慌失措而又搖盪。
19 Your path led through the sea, Your way through the mighty waters, but Your footprints were not to be found.
您的道路雖然經過海底,您的途徑雖然穿越大水,卻沒有顯露出您的足跡。
20 You led Your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
您曾藉著梅瑟和亞郎的手掌,領導您的子民有如領導群羊。
