Mazmur 77
1 Untuk pemimpin kor. Menurut: Yedutun. Mazmur Asaf. Dengan nyaring aku berseru kepada Allah; dengan nyaring aku berseru, dan Ia mendengar aku.
I cry out to God; I cry aloud to him, and he hears me.
2 Di waktu kesesakan aku berdoa kepada TUHAN; sepanjang malam kuangkat tanganku kepada-Nya tanpa jemu, tetapi hatiku tak mau dihibur.
Whenever have trouble, I pray to the Lord; all during the night I lift up my hands while I pray, [but] nothing causes me to be comforted.
3 Bila aku ingat Allah, aku mengaduh, bila aku merenung, hatiku semakin lesu.
When I think about God, I (despair/think that he will never help me); when I meditate about him, I am discouraged.
4 TUHAN membuat aku tak bisa tidur di waktu malam, aku gelisah sehingga tak dapat berbicara.
[All during the night] he prevents me from sleeping; I am very worried, with the result that I do not know what to say.
5 Kupikirkan hari-hari yang lampau, kuingat-ingat dan kurenungkan tahun-tahun yang silam.
I think about days that have passed; I remember [what happened in] previous years.
6 Di waktu malam aku berpikir-pikir, dan bertanya-tanya dalam hati,
I spend the whole night thinking [about things]; I meditate, and this is what I ask myself:
7 "Untuk selamanyakah TUHAN menolak dan tidak berkenan lagi?
“Will the Lord always reject us? Will he never again be pleased with us?
8 Apakah Ia sudah berhenti mengasihi kami? Tidakkah Ia memenuhi janji-Nya lagi?
Has he stopped faithfully loving us? Will he not do for us what he promised to do?
9 Sudah lupakah Allah untuk mengasihani? Marahkah Ia, sehingga tidak berbelaskasihan lagi?"
God promised to be merciful to us; has he forgotten that? Because he is angry [with us], has he decided to not be kind to us?”
10 Lalu aku berkata, "Inilah yang menyakiti hatiku, bahwa Yang Mahatinggi tidak berkuasa lagi."
Then I said, “What causes me to be [very] sad is that [it seems that] God, who is greater than any other god, is no longer powerful.”
11 Aku mau mengingat perbuatan-perbuatan-Mu TUHAN, mengenang keajaiban-keajaiban-Mu di zaman dahulu.
[But then], Yahweh, I recall/remember your great deeds; I remember the wonderful things that you did in the past.
12 Aku mau merenungkan segala yang Kaulakukan, dan memikirkan karya-karya-Mu yang hebat.
I meditate on all that you have done, and I think about your mighty acts.
13 Ya Allah, segala perbuatan-Mu suci, siapakah sebesar Allah kami?
God, everything that you do is holy; there is certainly no god [RHQ] who is great like you are!
14 Engkaulah Allah yang melakukan keajaiban, kuasa-Mu telah Kaunyatakan di antara bangsa-bangsa.
You are God, the one who performs miracles; you showed to people of many people-groups that you are powerful.
15 Dengan kekuatan-Mu Kaubebaskan umat-Mu, keturunan Yakub dan Yusuf.
By your power [MTY] you rescued your people [from Egypt]; you saved those who were descendants of Jacob and [his son] Joseph.
16 Melihat Engkau, ya Allah, air menjadi gentar, ya, dasar laut pun gemetar.
[It was as though] the waters [of the Red Sea] saw you and became very afraid, and even the deepest part of the water shook.
17 Awan mencurahkan hujan, guntur mengguruh; halilintar menyambar ke segala arah.
Rain poured down from the clouds [PRS]; it thundered [very loudly] [PRS], and lightning flashed in all directions.
18 Guntur menggelegar, kilat berpijar, bumi goncang dan gemetar.
Thunder crashed in the whirlwind, and lightning (lit up/flashed across) the entire sky [HYP]; the earth shook violently [DOU].
19 Engkau berjalan melalui ombak, mengarungi lautan, tetapi jejak-Mu tak tampak.
[Then] you walked through the sea on a path that you made through the deep water, but your footprints could not be seen.
20 Seperti gembala Engkau menuntun umat-Mu, dengan perantaraan Musa dan Harun.
You led your people like [a shepherd leads his] flock [of sheep], while Moses and Aaron were the leaders [of your people].
