Mazmur 77

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

For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. I will lift up my voice unto God, and cry; I will lift up my voice unto God, that He may give ear unto me.

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

In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord; with my hand uplifted, mine eye streameth in the night without ceasing; my soul refuseth to be comforted.

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

When I think thereon, O God, I must moan; when I muse thereon, my spirit fainteth. (Selah)

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

Thou holdest fast the lids of mine eyes; I am troubled, and cannot speak.

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

I have pondered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

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

In the night I will call to remembrance my song; I will commune with mine own heart; and my spirit maketh diligent search:

7 "Untuk selamanyakah TUHAN menolak dan tidak berkenan lagi?

'Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will He be favourable no more?

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

Is His mercy clean gone for ever? Is His promise come to an end for evermore?

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

Hath God forgotten to be gracious? Hath He in anger shut up his compassions?' (Selah)

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

And I say: 'This is my weakness, that the right hand of the Most High could change.

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

I will make mention of the deeds of the LORD; yea, I will remember Thy wonders of old.

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

I will meditate also upon all Thy work, and muse on Thy doings.'

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

O God, Thy way is in holiness; who is a great god like unto God?

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

Thou art the God that doest wonders; Thou hast made known Thy strength among the peoples.

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

Thou hast with Thine arm redeemed Thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)

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

The waters saw Thee, O God; the waters saw Thee, they were in pain; the depths also trembled.

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

The clouds flooded forth waters; the skies sent out a sound; Thine arrows also went abroad.

18 Guntur menggelegar, kilat berpijar, bumi goncang dan gemetar.

The voice of Thy thunder was in the whirlwind; the lightnings lighted up the world; the earth trembled and shook.

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

Thy way was in the sea, and Thy path in the great waters, and Thy footsteps were not known.

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

Thou didst lead Thy people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
