Psalms 77
1 I cry out to God; I cry aloud to him, and he hears me.
| لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ عَلَى «يَدُوثُونَ». لِآسَافَ. مَزْمُورٌ صَوْتِي إِلَى ٱللهِ فَأَصْرُخُ. صَوْتِي إِلَى ٱللهِ فَأَصْغَى إِلَيَّ. | ١ |
2 Whenever have trouble, I pray to the Lord; all during the night I lift up my hands while I pray, [but] nothing causes me to be comforted.
| فِي يَوْمِ ضِيْقِي ٱلْتَمَسْتُ ٱلرَّبَّ. يَدِي فِي ٱللَّيْلِ ٱنْبَسَطَتْ وَلَمْ تَخْدَرْ. أَبَتْ نَفْسِي ٱلتَّعْزِيَةَ. | ٢ |
3 When I think about God, I (despair/think that he will never help me); when I meditate about him, I am discouraged.
| أَذْكُرُ ٱللهَ فَأَئِنُّ. أُنَاجِي نَفْسِي فَيُغْشَى عَلَى رُوحِي. سِلَاهْ. | ٣ |
4 [All during the night] he prevents me from sleeping; I am very worried, with the result that I do not know what to say.
| أَمْسَكْتَ أَجْفَانَ عَيْنَيَّ. ٱنْزَعَجْتُ فَلَمْ أَتَكَلَّمْ. | ٤ |
5 I think about days that have passed; I remember [what happened in] previous years.
| تَفَكَّرْتُ فِي أَيَّامِ ٱلْقِدَمِ، ٱلسِّنِينَ ٱلدَّهْرِيَّةِ. | ٥ |
6 I spend the whole night thinking [about things]; I meditate, and this is what I ask myself:
| أَذْكُرُ تَرَنُّمِي فِي ٱللَّيْلِ. مَعَ قَلْبِي أُنَاجِي، وَرُوحِي تَبْحَثُ: | ٦ |
7 “Will the Lord always reject us? Will he never again be pleased with us?
| «هَلْ إِلَى ٱلدُّهُورِ يَرْفُضُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَلَا يَعُودُ لِلرِّضَا بَعْدُ؟ | ٧ |
8 Has he stopped faithfully loving us? Will he not do for us what he promised to do?
| هَلِ ٱنْتَهَتْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ رَحْمَتُهُ؟ ٱنْقَطَعَتْ كَلِمَتُهُ إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ؟ | ٨ |
9 God promised to be merciful to us; has he forgotten that? Because he is angry [with us], has he decided to not be kind to us?”
| هَلْ نَسِيَ ٱللهُ رَأْفَةً؟ أَوْ قَفَصَ بِرِجْزِهِ مَرَاحِمَهُ؟». سِلَاهْ. | ٩ |
10 Then I said, “What causes me to be [very] sad is that [it seems that] God, who is greater than any other god, is no longer powerful.”
| فَقُلْتُ: «هَذَا مَا يُعِلُّنِي: تَغَيُّرُ يَمِينِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ». | ١٠ |
11 [But then], Yahweh, I recall/remember your great deeds; I remember the wonderful things that you did in the past.
| أَذْكُرُ أَعْمَالَ ٱلرَّبِّ. إِذْ أَتَذَكَّرُ عَجَائِبَكَ مُنْذُ ٱلْقِدَمِ، | ١١ |
12 I meditate on all that you have done, and I think about your mighty acts.
| وَأَلْهَجُ بِجَمِيعِ أَفْعَالِكَ، وَبِصَنَائِعِكَ أُنَاجِي. | ١٢ |
13 God, everything that you do is holy; there is certainly no god [RHQ] who is great like you are!
| اَللَّهُمَّ، فِي ٱلْقُدْسِ طَرِيقُكَ. أَيُّ إِلَهٍ عَظِيمٌ مِثْلُ ٱللهِ؟ | ١٣ |
14 You are God, the one who performs miracles; you showed to people of many people-groups that you are powerful.
| أَنْتَ ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلصَّانِعُ ٱلْعَجَائِبَ. عَرَّفْتَ بَيْنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ قُوَّتَكَ. | ١٤ |
15 By your power [MTY] you rescued your people [from Egypt]; you saved those who were descendants of Jacob and [his son] Joseph.
| فَكَكْتَ بِذِرَاعِكَ شَعْبَكَ، بَنِي يَعْقُوبَ وَيُوسُفَ. سِلَاهْ. | ١٥ |
16 [It was as though] the waters [of the Red Sea] saw you and became very afraid, and even the deepest part of the water shook.
| أَبْصَرَتْكَ ٱلْمِيَاهُ يَا ٱللهُ، أَبْصَرَتْكَ ٱلْمِيَاهُ فَفَزِعَتْ، اِرْتَعَدَتْ أَيْضًا ٱللُّجَجُ. | ١٦ |
17 Rain poured down from the clouds [PRS]; it thundered [very loudly] [PRS], and lightning flashed in all directions.
| سَكَبَتِ ٱلْغُيُومُ مِيَاهًا، أَعْطَتِ ٱلسُّحُبُ صَوْتًا. أَيْضًا سِهَامُكَ طَارَتْ. | ١٧ |
18 Thunder crashed in the whirlwind, and lightning (lit up/flashed across) the entire sky [HYP]; the earth shook violently [DOU].
| صَوْتُ رَعْدِكَ فِي ٱلزَّوْبَعَةِ. ٱلْبُرُوقُ أَضَاءَتِ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةَ. ٱرْتَعَدَتْ وَرَجَفَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ. | ١٨ |
19 [Then] you walked through the sea on a path that you made through the deep water, but your footprints could not be seen.
| فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ طَرِيقُكَ، وَسُبُلُكَ فِي ٱلْمِيَاهِ ٱلْكَثِيرَةِ، وَآثَارُكَ لَمْ تُعْرَفْ. | ١٩ |
20 You led your people like [a shepherd leads his] flock [of sheep], while Moses and Aaron were the leaders [of your people].
| هَدَيْتَ شَعْبَكَ كَٱلْغَنَمِ بِيَدِ مُوسَى وَهارُونَ. | ٢٠ |
