< Psalms 77 >

1 Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of Asaph. I cried to the Lord with my voice; to God with my voice, and he gave ear to me.
لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ عَلَى يَدُوثُونَ. لآسَافَ. مَزْمُورٌ إِلَى اللهِ أَرْفَعُ صَوْتِي، إِلَى اللهِ أَصْرُخُ فَيُصْغِي إِلَيَّ.١
2 In the day of my trouble I sought God, with my hands lifted up to him in the night, and I was not deceived. My soul refused to be comforted:
فِي يَوْمِ ضِيقِي طَلَبْتُ الرَّبَّ. انْبَسَطَتْ يَدِي طُولَ اللَّيْلِ فَلَمْ تَكِلَّ. أَبَتْ نَفْسِي الْعَزَاءَ.٢
3 I remembered God, and was delighted, and was exercised, and my spirit swooned away.
أَذْكُرُ الرَّبَّ فَأَتَنَهَّدُ، أُنَاجِي نَفْسِي فَيُغْشَى عَلَى رُوحِي.٣
4 My eyes prevented the watches: I was troubled, and I spoke not.
أَمْسَكْتَ أَجْفَانِي عَنِ النَّوْمِ. اعْتَرَانِي الْقَلَقُ فَعَجَزْتُ عَنِ الْكَلامِ.٤
5 I thought upon the days of old: and I had in my mind the eternal years.
فَكَّرْتُ فِي الأَيَّامِ الْقَدِيمَةِ وَفِي السِّنِينَ السَّحِيقَةِ.٥
6 And I meditated in the night with my own heart: and I was exercised and I swept my spirit.
فِي اللَّيْلِ أَتَذَكَّرُ تَرْنِيمِي، وَأُنَاجِي قَلْبِي، وَتَجِدُّ فِي الْبَحْثِ نَفْسِي.٦
7 Will God then cast off for ever? or will he never be more favourable again?
هَلْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ يَرْفُضُنَا الرَّبُّ وَلَا يَرْضَى عَنَّا أَبَداً؟٧
8 Or will he cut off his mercy for ever, from generation to generation?
هَلِ انْتَهَتْ رَحْمَتُهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ؟ هَلِ انْقَطَعَتْ عَنَّا مَوَاعِيدُهُ؟٨
9 Or will God forget to shew mercy? or will he in his anger shut up his mercies?
أَلَعَلَّ اللهَ نَسِيَ رَأْفَتَهُ؟ أَمْ حَبَسَ بِغَضَبٍ مَرَاحِمَهُ؟٩
10 And I said, Now have I begun: this is the change of the right hand of the most High.
ثُمَّ قُلْتُ: «هَذَا يُسْقِمُنِي: أَنَّ يَمِينَ اللهِ الْعَلِيِّ قَدْ تَحَوَّلَتْ (عَنَّا).»١٠
11 I remembered the works of the Lord: for I will be mindful of thy wonders from the beginning.
أَذْكُرُ أَعْمَالَكَ يَا رَبُّ. أَذْكُرُ عَجَائِبَكَ الَّتِي عَمِلْتَهَا فِي الْقَدِيمِ،١١
12 And I will meditate on all thy works: and will be employed in thy inventions.
وَأَتَأَمَّلُ جَمِيعَ أَفْعَالِكَ وَأُنَاجِي بِكُلِّ مَا صَنَعْتَهُ.١٢
13 Thy way, O God, is in the holy place: who is the great God like our God?
يَا اللهُ، إِنَّ طَرِيقَكَ هِيَ الْقَدَاسَةُ، فَأَيُّ إِلَهٍ عَظِيمٌ مِثْلُ اللهِ؟١٣
14 Thou art the God that dost wonders. Thou hast made thy power known among the nations:
أَنْتَ الإِلَهُ الصَّانِعُ الْعَجَائِبَ، وَقَدْ أَعْلَنْتَ قُوَّتَكَ بَيْنَ الشُّعُوبِ.١٤
15 With thy arm thou hast redeemed thy people the children of Jacob and of Joseph.
بِذِرَاعِكَ القَدِيرَةِ افْتَدَيْتَ شَعْبَكَ بَنِي يَعْقُوبَ وَيُوسُفَ.١٥
16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee: and they were afraid, and the depths were troubled.
رَأَتْكَ الْمِيَاهُ يَا اللهُ فَارْتَجَفَتْ وَاضْطَرَبَتْ أَعْمَاقُهَا أَيْضاً.١٦
17 Great was the noise of the waters: the clouds sent out a sound. For thy arrows pass:
سَكَبَتِ الْغُيُومُ مَاءً وَأَرْعَدَتِ السُّحُبُ، وَتَطَايَرَتْ سِهَامُكَ.١٧
18 The voice of thy thunder in a wheel. Thy lightnings enlightened the world: the earth shook and trembled.
(زَأَرَ) صَوْتُ رَعْدِكَ فِي الزَّوْبَعَةِ، فَأَضَاءَتِ الْبُرُوقُ الْمَسْكُونَةَ، وَارْتَعَدَتِ الأَرْضُ وَاهْتَزَّتْ.١٨
19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters: and thy footsteps shall not be known.
إِنَّمَا فِي الْبَحْرِ طَرِيقُكَ، وَمَسَالِكُكَ فِي الْمِيَاهِ الْغَامِرَةِ، وَآثَارُ خُطْوَاتِكَ لَا تُتَقَصَّى.١٩
20 Thou hast conducted thy people like sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
هَدَيْتَ شَعْبَكَ كَقَطِيعٍ عَلَى يَدِ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ.٢٠
