Psalms 77
1 I cry out to God; I cry aloud to him, and he hears me.
Untuk pemimpin biduan. Menurut: Yedutun. Mazmur Asaf. Aku mau berseru-seru dengan nyaring kepada Allah, dengan nyaring kepada Allah, supaya Ia mendengarkan aku.
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.
Pada hari kesusahanku aku mencari Tuhan; malam-malam tanganku terulur dan tidak menjadi lesu, jiwaku enggan dihiburkan.
3 When I think about God, I (despair/think that he will never help me); when I meditate about him, I am discouraged.
Apabila aku mengingat Allah, maka aku mengerang, apabila aku merenung, makin lemah lesulah semangatku. (Sela)
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.
Engkau membuat mataku tetap terbuka; aku gelisah, sehingga tidak dapat berkata-kata.
5 I think about days that have passed; I remember [what happened in] previous years.
Aku memikir-mikir hari-hari zaman purbakala, tahun-tahun zaman dahulu aku ingat.
6 I spend the whole night thinking [about things]; I meditate, and this is what I ask myself:
Aku sebut-sebut pada waktu malam dalam hatiku, aku merenung, dan rohku mencari-cari:
7 “Will the Lord always reject us? Will he never again be pleased with us?
"Untuk selamanyakah Tuhan menolak dan tidak kembali bermurah hati lagi?
8 Has he stopped faithfully loving us? Will he not do for us what he promised to do?
Sudah lenyapkah untuk seterusnya kasih setia-Nya, telah berakhirkah janji itu berlaku turun-temurun?
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?”
Sudah lupakah Allah menaruh kasihan, atau ditutup-Nyakah rahmat-Nya karena murka-Nya?" (Sela)
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.”
Maka kataku: "Inilah yang menikam hatiku, bahwa tangan kanan Yang Mahatinggi berubah."
11 [But then], Yahweh, I recall/remember your great deeds; I remember the wonderful things that you did in the past.
Aku hendak mengingat perbuatan-perbuatan TUHAN, ya, aku hendak mengingat keajaiban-keajaiban-Mu dari zaman purbakala.
12 I meditate on all that you have done, and I think about your mighty acts.
Aku hendak menyebut-nyebut segala pekerjaan-Mu, dan merenungkan perbuatan-perbuatan-Mu.
13 God, everything that you do is holy; there is certainly no god [RHQ] who is great like you are!
Ya Allah, jalan-Mu adalah kudus! Allah manakah yang begitu besar seperti Allah kami?
14 You are God, the one who performs miracles; you showed to people of many people-groups that you are powerful.
Engkaulah Allah yang melakukan keajaiban; Engkau telah menyatakan kuasa-Mu di antara bangsa-bangsa.
15 By your power [MTY] you rescued your people [from Egypt]; you saved those who were descendants of Jacob and [his son] Joseph.
Dengan lengan-Mu Engkau telah menebus umat-Mu, bani Yakub dan bani Yusuf. (Sela)
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.
Air telah melihat Engkau, ya Allah, air telah melihat Engkau, lalu menjadi gentar, bahkan samudera raya gemetar.
17 Rain poured down from the clouds [PRS]; it thundered [very loudly] [PRS], and lightning flashed in all directions.
Awan-awan mencurahkan air, awan-gemawan bergemuruh, bahkan anak-anak panah-Mu beterbangan.
18 Thunder crashed in the whirlwind, and lightning (lit up/flashed across) the entire sky [HYP]; the earth shook violently [DOU].
Deru guntur-Mu menggelinding, kilat-kilat menerangi dunia, bumi gemetar dan bergoncang.
19 [Then] you walked through the sea on a path that you made through the deep water, but your footprints could not be seen.
Melalui laut jalan-Mu dan lorong-Mu melalui muka air yang luas, tetapi jejak-Mu tidak kelihatan.
20 You led your people like [a shepherd leads his] flock [of sheep], while Moses and Aaron were the leaders [of your people].
Engkau telah menuntun umat-Mu seperti kawanan domba dengan perantaraan Musa dan Harun.
