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.

Untuk pemimpin kor. Menurut: Yedutun. Mazmur Asaf. Dengan nyaring aku berseru kepada Allah; dengan nyaring aku berseru, dan Ia mendengar aku.

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:

Di waktu kesesakan aku berdoa kepada TUHAN; sepanjang malam kuangkat tanganku kepada-Nya tanpa jemu, tetapi hatiku tak mau dihibur.

3 I remembered God, and was delighted, and was exercised, and my spirit swooned away.

Bila aku ingat Allah, aku mengaduh, bila aku merenung, hatiku semakin lesu.

4 My eyes prevented the watches: I was troubled, and I spoke not.

TUHAN membuat aku tak bisa tidur di waktu malam, aku gelisah sehingga tak dapat berbicara.

5 I thought upon the days of old: and I had in my mind the eternal years.

Kupikirkan hari-hari yang lampau, kuingat-ingat dan kurenungkan tahun-tahun yang silam.

6 And I meditated in the night with my own heart: and I was exercised and I swept my spirit.

Di waktu malam aku berpikir-pikir, dan bertanya-tanya dalam hati,

7 Will God then cast off for ever? or will he never be more favourable again?

"Untuk selamanyakah TUHAN menolak dan tidak berkenan lagi?

8 Or will he cut off his mercy for ever, from generation to generation?

Apakah Ia sudah berhenti mengasihi kami? Tidakkah Ia memenuhi janji-Nya lagi?

9 Or will God forget to shew mercy? or will he in his anger shut up his mercies?

Sudah lupakah Allah untuk mengasihani? Marahkah Ia, sehingga tidak berbelaskasihan lagi?"

10 And I said, Now have I begun: this is the change of the right hand of the most High.

Lalu aku berkata, "Inilah yang menyakiti hatiku, bahwa Yang Mahatinggi tidak berkuasa lagi."

11 I remembered the works of the Lord: for I will be mindful of thy wonders from the beginning.

Aku mau mengingat perbuatan-perbuatan-Mu TUHAN, mengenang keajaiban-keajaiban-Mu di zaman dahulu.

12 And I will meditate on all thy works: and will be employed in thy inventions.

Aku mau merenungkan segala yang Kaulakukan, dan memikirkan karya-karya-Mu yang hebat.

13 Thy way, O God, is in the holy place: who is the great God like our God?

Ya Allah, segala perbuatan-Mu suci, siapakah sebesar Allah kami?

14 Thou art the God that dost wonders. Thou hast made thy power known among the nations:

Engkaulah Allah yang melakukan keajaiban, kuasa-Mu telah Kaunyatakan di antara bangsa-bangsa.

15 With thy arm thou hast redeemed thy people the children of Jacob and of Joseph.

Dengan kekuatan-Mu Kaubebaskan umat-Mu, keturunan Yakub dan Yusuf.

16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee: and they were afraid, and the depths were troubled.

Melihat Engkau, ya Allah, air menjadi gentar, ya, dasar laut pun gemetar.

17 Great was the noise of the waters: the clouds sent out a sound. For thy arrows pass:

Awan mencurahkan hujan, guntur mengguruh; halilintar menyambar ke segala arah.

18 The voice of thy thunder in a wheel. Thy lightnings enlightened the world: the earth shook and trembled.

Guntur menggelegar, kilat berpijar, bumi goncang dan gemetar.

19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters: and thy footsteps shall not be known.

Engkau berjalan melalui ombak, mengarungi lautan, tetapi jejak-Mu tak tampak.

20 Thou hast conducted thy people like sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Seperti gembala Engkau menuntun umat-Mu, dengan perantaraan Musa dan Harun.
