Psalms 77

1 To the Overseer, for Jeduthun. — A Psalm of Asaph. My voice [is] to God, and I cry, my voice [is] to God, And He hath given ear unto me.

Untuk pemimpin kor. Menurut: Yedutun. Mazmur Asaf. Dengan nyaring aku berseru kepada Allah; dengan nyaring aku berseru, dan Ia mendengar aku.

2 In a day of my distress the Lord I sought, My hand by night hath been spread out, And it doth not cease, My soul hath refused to be comforted.

Di waktu kesesakan aku berdoa kepada TUHAN; sepanjang malam kuangkat tanganku kepada-Nya tanpa jemu, tetapi hatiku tak mau dihibur.

3 I remember God, and make a noise, I meditate, and feeble is my spirit. (Selah)

Bila aku ingat Allah, aku mengaduh, bila aku merenung, hatiku semakin lesu.

4 Thou hast taken hold of the watches of mine eyes, I have been moved, and I speak not.

TUHAN membuat aku tak bisa tidur di waktu malam, aku gelisah sehingga tak dapat berbicara.

5 I have reckoned the days of old, The years of the ages.

Kupikirkan hari-hari yang lampau, kuingat-ingat dan kurenungkan tahun-tahun yang silam.

6 I remember my music in the night, With my heart I meditate, and my spirit doth search diligently:

Di waktu malam aku berpikir-pikir, dan bertanya-tanya dalam hati,

7 To the ages doth the Lord cast off? Doth He add to be pleased no more?

"Untuk selamanyakah TUHAN menolak dan tidak berkenan lagi?

8 Hath His kindness ceased for ever? The saying failed to all generations?

Apakah Ia sudah berhenti mengasihi kami? Tidakkah Ia memenuhi janji-Nya lagi?

9 Hath God forgotten [His] favours? Hath He shut up in anger His mercies? (Selah)

Sudah lupakah Allah untuk mengasihani? Marahkah Ia, sehingga tidak berbelaskasihan lagi?"

10 And I say: 'My weakness is, The changes of the right hand of the Most High.'

Lalu aku berkata, "Inilah yang menyakiti hatiku, bahwa Yang Mahatinggi tidak berkuasa lagi."

11 I mention the doings of Jah, For I remember of old Thy wonders,

Aku mau mengingat perbuatan-perbuatan-Mu TUHAN, mengenang keajaiban-keajaiban-Mu di zaman dahulu.

12 And I have meditated on all Thy working, And I talk concerning Thy doings.

Aku mau merenungkan segala yang Kaulakukan, dan memikirkan karya-karya-Mu yang hebat.

13 O God, in holiness [is] Thy way, Who [is] a great god like God?

Ya Allah, segala perbuatan-Mu suci, siapakah sebesar Allah kami?

14 Thou [art] the God doing wonders. Thou hast made known among the peoples Thy strength,

Engkaulah Allah yang melakukan keajaiban, kuasa-Mu telah Kaunyatakan di antara bangsa-bangsa.

15 Thou hast redeemed with strength Thy people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)

Dengan kekuatan-Mu Kaubebaskan umat-Mu, keturunan Yakub dan Yusuf.

16 The waters have seen Thee, O God, The waters have seen Thee, They are afraid — also depths are troubled.

Melihat Engkau, ya Allah, air menjadi gentar, ya, dasar laut pun gemetar.

17 Poured out waters have thick clouds, The skies have given forth a noise, Also — Thine arrows go up and down.

Awan mencurahkan hujan, guntur mengguruh; halilintar menyambar ke segala arah.

18 The voice of Thy thunder [is] in the spheres, Lightnings have lightened the world, The earth hath trembled, yea, it shaketh.

Guntur menggelegar, kilat berpijar, bumi goncang dan gemetar.

19 In the sea [is] Thy way, And Thy paths [are] in many waters, And Thy tracks have not been known.

Engkau berjalan melalui ombak, mengarungi lautan, tetapi jejak-Mu tak tampak.

20 Thou hast led as a flock Thy people, By the hand of Moses and Aaron!

Seperti gembala Engkau menuntun umat-Mu, dengan perantaraan Musa dan Harun.
