Psalms 77
1 I cry out to God; I cry aloud to him, and he hears me.
阿撒夫的詩歌，交與樂官耶杜通。 我呼號，我的呼聲上達天主前，我向天主高呼，求他俯聽矜憐。
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.
我在患難之日，尋求上主，雖整夜伸手，亦不覺辛苦，我的心靈且不接受安撫。
3 When I think about God, I (despair/think that he will never help me); when I meditate about him, I am discouraged.
我一懷念天主，即咨嗟哀歎，我一沉思考慮，即心灰意懶。
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.
您使我的眼睛徹夜不眠，我實煩燥難安，苦不堪言。
5 I think about days that have passed; I remember [what happened in] previous years.
我回憶往昔的時日，我懷念過去的歲月。
6 I spend the whole night thinking [about things]; I meditate, and this is what I ask myself:
我的心靈夜間默默自問，我的神魂時時沉思質詢：
7 “Will the Lord always reject us? Will he never again be pleased with us?
難道天主永遠拒絕，難道不再回顧憐愛？
8 Has he stopped faithfully loving us? Will he not do for us what he promised to do?
難道他的恩愛永遠停止，他的諾言也將永世廢棄？
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?”
難道天主忘記了慈悲﹖因憤怒而將慈愛關閉？
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.”
因此我說：這是我的苦難：至高者的右手已經改變。
11 [But then], Yahweh, I recall/remember your great deeds; I remember the wonderful things that you did in the past.
我現今追念上主的作為，回想您往昔所行的奇蹟；
12 I meditate on all that you have done, and I think about your mighty acts.
沉思您的一切所作所為，更要默想您的一切異事。
13 God, everything that you do is holy; there is certainly no god [RHQ] who is great like you are!
天主，您的行徑完全在於聖化，何神像我們的天主如此偉大？
14 You are God, the one who performs miracles; you showed to people of many people-groups that you are powerful.
只有您是施行奇蹟的天主！在萬民中彰顯了您的威武。
15 By your power [MTY] you rescued your people [from Egypt]; you saved those who were descendants of Jacob and [his son] Joseph.
您以臂力拯救了您的人民，就是雅各伯和若瑟的子孫。
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.
大水一旦看見您，天主，大水一見您就都恐怖，連深淵汪洋也都顫抖。
17 Rain poured down from the clouds [PRS]; it thundered [very loudly] [PRS], and lightning flashed in all directions.
雲天大雨傾降，烏雲發出巨響，火箭滿天飛翔。
18 Thunder crashed in the whirlwind, and lightning (lit up/flashed across) the entire sky [HYP]; the earth shook violently [DOU].
您的雷霆在旋風中發響，閃電也將整個世界照亮，大地驚慌失措而又搖盪。
19 [Then] you walked through the sea on a path that you made through the deep water, but your footprints could not be seen.
您的道路雖然經過海底，您的途徑雖然穿越大水，卻沒有顯露出您的足跡。
20 You led your people like [a shepherd leads his] flock [of sheep], while Moses and Aaron were the leaders [of your people].
您曾藉著梅瑟和亞郎的手掌，領導您的子民有如領導群羊。
