Psalms 77

1 To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph. I cried to God with my voice, [even] to God with my voice; and he gave ear to 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 In the day of my trouble I sought the LORD: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused 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 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. (Selah)

我一懷念天主，即咨嗟哀歎，我一沉思考慮，即心灰意懶。

4 Thou holdest my eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

您使我的眼睛徹夜不眠，我實煩燥難安，苦不堪言。

5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

我回憶往昔的時日，我懷念過去的歲月。

6 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with my own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.

我的心靈夜間默默自問，我的神魂時時沉思質詢：

7 Will the LORD cast off for ever? and will he be favorable no more?

難道天主永遠拒絕，難道不再回顧憐愛？

8 Is his mercy wholly gone for ever? doth [his] promise fail for evermore?

難道他的恩愛永遠停止，他的諾言也將永世廢棄？

9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? (Selah)

難道天主忘記了慈悲﹖因憤怒而將慈愛關閉？

10 And I said, This [is] my infirmity: [but I will remember] the years of the right hand of the Most High.

因此我說：這是我的苦難：至高者的右手已經改變。

11 I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.

我現今追念上主的作為，回想您往昔所行的奇蹟；

12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.

沉思您的一切所作所為，更要默想您的一切異事。

13 Thy way, O God, [is] in the sanctuary: who [is so] great a God as [our] God!

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 Thou [art] the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.

只有您是施行奇蹟的天主！在萬民中彰顯了您的威武。

15 Thou hast with [thy] arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)

您以臂力拯救了您的人民，就是雅各伯和若瑟的子孫。

16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were disturbed.

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 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thy arrows also went abroad.

雲天大雨傾降，烏雲發出巨響，火箭滿天飛翔。

18 The voice of thy thunder [was] in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.

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 Thy way [is] in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.

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 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

您曾藉著梅瑟和亞郎的手掌，領導您的子民有如領導群羊。
