Psalms 77
1 For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by Asaph. My cry goes to God! Indeed, I cry to God for help, and for him to listen to 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. My hand was stretched out in the night, and didn’t get 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 remember God, and I groan. I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. (Selah)
Apabila aku mengingat Allah, maka aku mengerang, apabila aku merenung, makin lemah lesulah semangatku. (Sela)
4 You hold my eyelids open. I am so troubled that I can’t speak.
Engkau membuat mataku tetap terbuka; aku gelisah, sehingga tidak dapat berkata-kata.
5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
Aku memikir-mikir hari-hari zaman purbakala, tahun-tahun zaman dahulu aku ingat.
6 I remember my song in the night. I consider in my own heart; my spirit diligently enquires:
Aku sebut-sebut pada waktu malam dalam hatiku, aku merenung, dan rohku mencari-cari:
7 “Will the Lord reject us forever? Will he be favourable no more?
"Untuk selamanyakah Tuhan menolak dan tidak kembali bermurah hati lagi?
8 Has his loving kindness vanished forever? Does his promise fail for generations?
Sudah lenyapkah untuk seterusnya kasih setia-Nya, telah berakhirkah janji itu berlaku turun-temurun?
9 Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he, in anger, withheld his compassion?” (Selah)
Sudah lupakah Allah menaruh kasihan, atau ditutup-Nyakah rahmat-Nya karena murka-Nya?" (Sela)
10 Then I thought, “I will appeal to this: the years of the right hand of the Most High.”
Maka kataku: "Inilah yang menikam hatiku, bahwa tangan kanan Yang Mahatinggi berubah."
11 I will remember the LORD’s deeds; for I will remember your wonders of old.
Aku hendak mengingat perbuatan-perbuatan TUHAN, ya, aku hendak mengingat keajaiban-keajaiban-Mu dari zaman purbakala.
12 I will also meditate on all your work, and consider your doings.
Aku hendak menyebut-nyebut segala pekerjaan-Mu, dan merenungkan perbuatan-perbuatan-Mu.
13 Your way, God, is in the sanctuary. What god is great like 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 made your strength known amongst the peoples.
Engkaulah Allah yang melakukan keajaiban; Engkau telah menyatakan kuasa-Mu di antara bangsa-bangsa.
15 You have redeemed your people with your arm, the sons 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 writhed. The depths also convulsed.
Air telah melihat Engkau, ya Allah, air telah melihat Engkau, lalu menjadi gentar, bahkan samudera raya gemetar.
17 The clouds poured out water. The skies resounded with thunder. Your arrows also flashed around.
Awan-awan mencurahkan air, awan-gemawan bergemuruh, bahkan anak-anak panah-Mu beterbangan.
18 The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind. The lightnings lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook.
Deru guntur-Mu menggelinding, kilat-kilat menerangi dunia, bumi gemetar dan bergoncang.
19 Your way was through the sea, your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known.
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.
