Psalms 77
1 For the chief musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A psalm of Asaph. I will call out with my voice to God; I will call with my voice to God, and my God will hear 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 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; at night I stretched my hands out, and they would not become tired. My soul refused to be comforted.
Pada hari kesusahanku aku mencari Tuhan; malam-malam tanganku terulur dan tidak menjadi lesu, jiwaku enggan dihiburkan.
3 I thought of God as I groaned; I thought about him as I grew faint. (Selah)
Apabila aku mengingat Allah, maka aku mengerang, apabila aku merenung, makin lemah lesulah semangatku. (Sela)
4 You held my eyes open; I was too troubled to speak.
Engkau membuat mataku tetap terbuka; aku gelisah, sehingga tidak dapat berkata-kata.
5 I thought about the days of old, about times long past.
Aku memikir-mikir hari-hari zaman purbakala, tahun-tahun zaman dahulu aku ingat.
6 During the night I called to mind the song I once sang. I thought carefully and tried to understand what had happened.
Aku sebut-sebut pada waktu malam dalam hatiku, aku merenung, dan rohku mencari-cari:
7 Will the Lord reject me forever? Will he never again show me favor?
"Untuk selamanyakah Tuhan menolak dan tidak kembali bermurah hati lagi?
8 Was his covenant faithfulness gone forever? Had his promise failed forever?
Sudah lenyapkah untuk seterusnya kasih setia-Nya, telah berakhirkah janji itu berlaku turun-temurun?
9 Had God forgotten to be gracious? Had his anger shut off his compassion? (Selah)
Sudah lupakah Allah menaruh kasihan, atau ditutup-Nyakah rahmat-Nya karena murka-Nya?" (Sela)
10 I said, “This is my sorrow: the changing of the right hand of the Most High toward us.”
Maka kataku: "Inilah yang menikam hatiku, bahwa tangan kanan Yang Mahatinggi berubah."
11 But I will call to mind your deeds, Yahweh; I will think about your wonderful deeds of old.
Aku hendak mengingat perbuatan-perbuatan TUHAN, ya, aku hendak mengingat keajaiban-keajaiban-Mu dari zaman purbakala.
12 I will ponder all your deeds and will reflect on them.
Aku hendak menyebut-nyebut segala pekerjaan-Mu, dan merenungkan perbuatan-perbuatan-Mu.
13 Your way, God, is holy; what god compares to our great God?
Ya Allah, jalan-Mu adalah kudus! Allah manakah yang begitu besar seperti Allah kami?
14 You are the God who does wonders; you have revealed your strength among the peoples.
Engkaulah Allah yang melakukan keajaiban; Engkau telah menyatakan kuasa-Mu di antara bangsa-bangsa.
15 You gave your people victory by your great power— the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)
Dengan lengan-Mu Engkau telah menebus umat-Mu, bani Yakub dan bani Yusuf. (Sela)
16 The waters saw you, God; the waters saw you, and they were afraid; the depths trembled.
Air telah melihat Engkau, ya Allah, air telah melihat Engkau, lalu menjadi gentar, bahkan samudera raya gemetar.
17 The clouds poured down water; the cloudy skies gave voice; your arrows flew about.
Awan-awan mencurahkan air, awan-gemawan bergemuruh, bahkan anak-anak panah-Mu beterbangan.
18 Your thunderous voice was heard in the wind; the lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and shook.
Deru guntur-Mu menggelinding, kilat-kilat menerangi dunia, bumi gemetar dan bergoncang.
19 Your path went through the sea and your way through the surging waters, but your footprints were not 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 flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Engkau telah menuntun umat-Mu seperti kawanan domba dengan perantaraan Musa dan Harun.
