Psalms 77
1 For the end, for Idithun, a Psalm of Asaph. I cried to the Lord with my voice, yea, my voice [was addressed] to God; and he gave heed to me.
Untuk pemimpin biduan. Menurut: Yedutun. Mazmur Asaf. Aku mau berseru-seru dengan nyaring kepada Allah, dengan nyaring kepada Allah, supaya Ia mendengarkan aku.
2 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.
Pada hari kesusahanku aku mencari Tuhan; malam-malam tanganku terulur dan tidak menjadi lesu, jiwaku enggan dihiburkan.
3 I remembered God, and rejoiced; I poured out my complaint, and my soul fainted. (Pause)
Apabila aku mengingat Allah, maka aku mengerang, apabila aku merenung, makin lemah lesulah semangatku. (Sela)
4 All mine enemies set a watch [against me]: I was troubled, and spoke not.
Engkau membuat mataku tetap terbuka; aku gelisah, sehingga tidak dapat berkata-kata.
5 I considered the days of old, and remembered ancient years.
Aku memikir-mikir hari-hari zaman purbakala, tahun-tahun zaman dahulu aku ingat.
6 And I meditated; I communed with my heart by night, and diligently searched my spirit, [saying],
Aku sebut-sebut pada waktu malam dalam hatiku, aku merenung, dan rohku mencari-cari:
7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be well pleased no more?
"Untuk selamanyakah Tuhan menolak dan tidak kembali bermurah hati lagi?
8 Will he cut off his mercy for ever, even for ever and ever?
Sudah lenyapkah untuk seterusnya kasih setia-Nya, telah berakhirkah janji itu berlaku turun-temurun?
9 Will God forget to pity? or will he shut up his compassions in his wrath? (Pause)
Sudah lupakah Allah menaruh kasihan, atau ditutup-Nyakah rahmat-Nya karena murka-Nya?" (Sela)
10 And I said, Now I have begun; this is the change of the right hand of the Most High.
Maka kataku: "Inilah yang menikam hatiku, bahwa tangan kanan Yang Mahatinggi berubah."
11 I remembered the works of the Lord; for I will remember thy wonders from the beginning.
Aku hendak mengingat perbuatan-perbuatan TUHAN, ya, aku hendak mengingat keajaiban-keajaiban-Mu dari zaman purbakala.
12 And I will meditate on all thy works, and will consider thy doings.
Aku hendak menyebut-nyebut segala pekerjaan-Mu, dan merenungkan perbuatan-perbuatan-Mu.
13 O God, thy way is in the sanctuary; who is a great God as our God?
Ya Allah, jalan-Mu adalah kudus! Allah manakah yang begitu besar seperti Allah kami?
14 Thou art the God that doest wonders; thou hast made known thy power among the nations.
Engkaulah Allah yang melakukan keajaiban; Engkau telah menyatakan kuasa-Mu di antara bangsa-bangsa.
15 Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Pause)
Dengan lengan-Mu Engkau telah menebus umat-Mu, bani Yakub dan bani Yusuf. (Sela)
16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee, and feared; and the depths were troubled.
Air telah melihat Engkau, ya Allah, air telah melihat Engkau, lalu menjadi gentar, bahkan samudera raya gemetar.
17 [There was] an abundant sound of waters: the clouds uttered a voice; for thine arrows went abroad.
Awan-awan mencurahkan air, awan-gemawan bergemuruh, bahkan anak-anak panah-Mu beterbangan.
18 The voice of thy thunder was abroad, and around thy lightnings appeared to the world; the earth trembled a quaked.
Deru guntur-Mu menggelinding, kilat-kilat menerangi dunia, bumi gemetar dan bergoncang.
19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters, and thy footsteps cannot be known.
Melalui laut jalan-Mu dan lorong-Mu melalui muka air yang luas, tetapi jejak-Mu tidak kelihatan.
20 Thou didst guide thy people as sheep by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Engkau telah menuntun umat-Mu seperti kawanan domba dengan perantaraan Musa dan Harun.
