< Mazmur 77 >
1 Untuk pemimpin kor. Menurut: Yedutun. Mazmur Asaf. Dengan nyaring aku berseru kepada Allah; dengan nyaring aku berseru, dan Ia mendengar aku.
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.
2 Di waktu kesesakan aku berdoa kepada TUHAN; sepanjang malam kuangkat tanganku kepada-Nya tanpa jemu, tetapi hatiku tak mau dihibur.
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.
3 Bila aku ingat Allah, aku mengaduh, bila aku merenung, hatiku semakin lesu.
I remember God, and make a noise, I meditate, and feeble is my spirit. (Selah)
4 TUHAN membuat aku tak bisa tidur di waktu malam, aku gelisah sehingga tak dapat berbicara.
Thou hast taken hold of the watches of mine eyes, I have been moved, and I speak not.
5 Kupikirkan hari-hari yang lampau, kuingat-ingat dan kurenungkan tahun-tahun yang silam.
I have reckoned the days of old, The years of the ages.
6 Di waktu malam aku berpikir-pikir, dan bertanya-tanya dalam hati,
I remember my music in the night, With my heart I meditate, and my spirit doth search diligently:
7 "Untuk selamanyakah TUHAN menolak dan tidak berkenan lagi?
To the ages doth the Lord cast off? Doth He add to be pleased no more?
8 Apakah Ia sudah berhenti mengasihi kami? Tidakkah Ia memenuhi janji-Nya lagi?
Hath His kindness ceased for ever? The saying failed to all generations?
9 Sudah lupakah Allah untuk mengasihani? Marahkah Ia, sehingga tidak berbelaskasihan lagi?"
Hath God forgotten [His] favours? Hath He shut up in anger His mercies? (Selah)
10 Lalu aku berkata, "Inilah yang menyakiti hatiku, bahwa Yang Mahatinggi tidak berkuasa lagi."
And I say: 'My weakness is, The changes of the right hand of the Most High.'
11 Aku mau mengingat perbuatan-perbuatan-Mu TUHAN, mengenang keajaiban-keajaiban-Mu di zaman dahulu.
I mention the doings of Jah, For I remember of old Thy wonders,
12 Aku mau merenungkan segala yang Kaulakukan, dan memikirkan karya-karya-Mu yang hebat.
And I have meditated on all Thy working, And I talk concerning Thy doings.
13 Ya Allah, segala perbuatan-Mu suci, siapakah sebesar Allah kami?
O God, in holiness [is] Thy way, Who [is] a great god like God?
14 Engkaulah Allah yang melakukan keajaiban, kuasa-Mu telah Kaunyatakan di antara bangsa-bangsa.
Thou [art] the God doing wonders. Thou hast made known among the peoples Thy strength,
15 Dengan kekuatan-Mu Kaubebaskan umat-Mu, keturunan Yakub dan Yusuf.
Thou hast redeemed with strength Thy people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)
16 Melihat Engkau, ya Allah, air menjadi gentar, ya, dasar laut pun gemetar.
The waters have seen Thee, O God, The waters have seen Thee, They are afraid — also depths are troubled.
17 Awan mencurahkan hujan, guntur mengguruh; halilintar menyambar ke segala arah.
Poured out waters have thick clouds, The skies have given forth a noise, Also — Thine arrows go up and down.
18 Guntur menggelegar, kilat berpijar, bumi goncang dan gemetar.
The voice of Thy thunder [is] in the spheres, Lightnings have lightened the world, The earth hath trembled, yea, it shaketh.
19 Engkau berjalan melalui ombak, mengarungi lautan, tetapi jejak-Mu tak tampak.
In the sea [is] Thy way, And Thy paths [are] in many waters, And Thy tracks have not been known.
20 Seperti gembala Engkau menuntun umat-Mu, dengan perantaraan Musa dan Harun.
Thou hast led as a flock Thy people, By the hand of Moses and Aaron!
