Psalms 77
1 For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. I will cry unto God with my voice; even unto God with my voice, and he wilt give ear unto me.
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi, ki a Ierutunu. He himene na Ahapa. Ki te Atua toku reo, e karanga nei ahau, ki te Atua toku reo, a tera e tahuri mai tona taringa ki ahau.
2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not; my soul refused to be comforted.
I rapu ahau ki te Ariki i te ra o toku pouri: maro tonu toku ringa i te po, kihai ano i pepeke; kihai toku wairua i pai kia whakamarietia.
3 I remember God, and am disquieted: I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. (Selah)
E mahara ana ahau ki te Atua, a e pouri ana: kei te whakaaroaro, a ngaro iho toku wairua. (Hera)
4 Thou holdest mine eyes watching: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
E puritia ana e koe oku kanohi kia mataara tonu; he pouri ahau, te ahei te korero.
5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
Ka hoki oku whakaaro ki nga ra onamata, ki nga tau o tua iho.
6 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart; and my spirit made diligent search.
E whakamahara ana ahau ki taku waiata i te po, e korerorero ana ki toku ngakau e rapurapu ana toku wairua.
7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?
Tera ranei te Ariki e panga tonu ake ake? A heoi ano ranei ana manakohanga mai?
8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?
Kua kahore ranei tana mahi tohu mo ake tonu atu? Kua whati ranei tana kupu a ake ake?
9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? (Selah)
Kua wareware ranei te Atua ki te atawhai? Kua riri ranei ia, a tutakina atu ana e ia tona aroha? (Hera)
10 And I said, This is my infirmity; [but I will remember] the years of the right hand of the Most High.
Na ka mea ahau, Ko toku ngoikore tenei: otira ka mahara ahau ki nga tau o te ringa matau o te Runga Rawa.
11 I will make mention of the deeds of the LORD; for I will remember thy wonders of old.
Ka mahara ahau ki nga mahi a Ihowa; ae ra, ka mahara ahau ki au mea whakamiharo o tua iho.
12 I will meditate also upon all thy work, and muse on thy doings.
Ka whakaaro hoki ahau ki au meatanga katoa, ka purakau ki au mahi.
13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is a great god like unto God?
E te Atua, kei te wahi tapu tou ara: ko wai te atua nui hei rite ki te Atua?
14 Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast made known thy strength among the peoples.
Ko koe te Atua e mahi nei i nga mea whakamiharo: kua whakapuakina e koe tou kaha i waenganui o nga iwi.
15 Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)
Hokona ana e tou ringa tau iwi, nga tama a Hakopa raua ko Hohepa. (Hera)
16 The waters saw thee, O God; the waters saw thee, they were afraid: the depths also trembled.
I kite nga wai i a koe, e te Atua i kite nga wai i a koe, mataku ana: i oho ano nga rire.
17 The clouds poured out water; the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.
Ringihia ana he wai e nga kapua, puaki ana te haruru o nga rangi: rererere ana au pere.
18 The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind; the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
I roto i te awhiowhio te haruru o tau whatitiri: marama noa te ao i nga uira; wiri ana te whenua, oioi ana.
19 Thy way was in the sea, and thy paths in the great waters, and thy footsteps were not known.
I te moana tou ara, i nga wai nui tou huarahi, e kore ano e kitea ou takahanga.
20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
He mea arahi e koe tau iwi ano he kahui, ara e te ringa o Mohi raua ko Arona.
