Psalms 77
1 For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. I will lift up my voice unto God, and cry; I will lift up my voice unto God, that He may give ear unto me.
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. KuJeduthuni, Elika-Asafi. Ihubo. Ngakhala kuNkulunkulu ngicela uncedo; ngakhala kuNkulunkulu ukuthi angizwe.
2 In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord; with my hand uplifted, mine eye streameth in the night without ceasing; my soul refuseth to be comforted.
Ngathi ngikhathazekile ngamdinga uThixo; ebusuku ngazelula izandla azazezadinwa lomphefumulo wami wala ukududuzeka.
3 When I think thereon, O God, I must moan; when I muse thereon, my spirit fainteth. (Selah)
Ngakukhumbula, Oh Nkulunkulu, ngabubula; ngacabanga, umoya wami wancipha.
4 Thou holdest fast the lids of mine eyes; I am troubled, and cannot speak.
Wala ukuthi amehlo ami avaleke; ngangikhathazekile ngisehluleka ukukhuluma.
5 I have pondered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
Ngakhumbula ngezinsuku ezedlulayo, insuku zakudala;
6 In the night I will call to remembrance my song; I will commune with mine own heart; and my spirit maketh diligent search:
ngakhumbula izingoma zami ebusuku. Inhliziyo yami yacabanga lomoya wami wadinga:
7 'Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will He be favourable no more?
“INkosi izakhalala kokuphela na? Ayisayikuphinde itshengise uthando lwayo njalo na?
8 Is His mercy clean gone for ever? Is His promise come to an end for evermore?
Kanti uthando lwayo olungapheliyo selunyamalele kokuphela na? Kanti isithembiso sayo sesiphelile kokuphela na?
9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? Hath He in anger shut up his compassions?' (Selah)
Kanti uNkulunkulu usekhohliwe ukuba lesihawu na? Usethe ngokuzonda wagodla uzwelo lwakhe na?”
10 And I say: 'This is my weakness, that the right hand of the Most High could change.
Ngasengikhumbula ngathi, “Yilokhu okunginqundayo, ukuthi isandla sokunene soPhezukonke kasisekho phezu kwami.
11 I will make mention of the deeds of the LORD; yea, I will remember Thy wonders of old.
Ngizayikhumbula imisebenzi kaThixo; yebo, ngizayikhumbula imimangaliso yakho yekadeni.
12 I will meditate also upon all Thy work, and muse on Thy doings.'
Ngizacabanga ngayo yonke imisebenzi yakho nginakane ngazozonke izenzo zakho ezinkulu.”
13 O God, Thy way is in holiness; who is a great god like unto God?
Izindlela zakho, Oh Nkulunkulu, zingcwele; nguphi unkulunkulu omkhulu njengoNkulunkulu wethu na?
14 Thou art the God that doest wonders; Thou hast made known Thy strength among the peoples.
Nguwe Nkulunkulu owenza izimanga; uyawatshengisa amandla akho ebantwini.
15 Thou hast with Thine arm redeemed Thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)
Ngengalo yakho elamandla wabakhulula abantu bakho, izizukulwane zikaJakhobe loJosefa.
16 The waters saw Thee, O God; the waters saw Thee, they were in pain; the depths also trembled.
Amanzi akubona wena, Oh Nkulunkulu, amanzi akubona atshotshobala; inziki zagonyuluka.
17 The clouds flooded forth waters; the skies sent out a sound; Thine arrows also went abroad.
Amayezi awathulula amanzi, isibhakabhaka sandindiza ngokuduma; imitshoko yakho yaphazima yaya le lale.
18 The voice of Thy thunder was in the whirlwind; the lightnings lighted up the world; the earth trembled and shook.
Umdumo wakho wezwakala uphakathi kwesivunguzane, umbane wakho wawukhanyisa umhlaba; umhlaba wavevezela wanyikinyeka.
19 Thy way was in the sea, and Thy path in the great waters, and Thy footsteps were not known.
Indlela yakho yadabula olwandle, umkhondo wakho phakathi kwamanzi, kodwa izinyathelo zakho zazingabonakali.
20 Thou didst lead Thy people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Wabahola abantu bakho njengomhlambi wezimvu ngesandla sikaMosi lo-Aroni.
