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 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.

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 sought the Lord. My hand was stretched out in the night, and didn’t get tired. My soul refused to be comforted.

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

I remember God, and I groan. I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. (Selah)

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

You hold my eyelids open. I am so troubled that I can’t speak.

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

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

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

I remember my song in the night. I consider in my own heart; my spirit diligently enquires:

7 "Untuk selamanyakah TUHAN menolak dan tidak berkenan lagi?

“Will the Lord reject us forever? Will he be favourable no more?

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

Has his loving kindness vanished forever? Does his promise fail for generations?

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

Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he, in anger, withheld his compassion?” (Selah)

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

Then I thought, “I will appeal to this: the years of the right hand of the Most High.”

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

I will remember the LORD’s deeds; for I will remember your wonders of old.

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

I will also meditate on all your work, and consider your doings.

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

Your way, God, is in the sanctuary. What god is great like God?

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

You are the God who does wonders. You have made your strength known amongst the peoples.

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

You have redeemed your people with your arm, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)

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

The waters saw you, God. The waters saw you, and they writhed. The depths also convulsed.

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

The clouds poured out water. The skies resounded with thunder. Your arrows also flashed around.

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

The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind. The lightnings lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook.

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

Your way was through the sea, your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known.

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

You led your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
