Mazmur 77
1 Untuk pemimpin biduan. Menurut: Yedutun. Mazmur Asaf. Aku mau berseru-seru dengan nyaring kepada Allah, dengan nyaring kepada Allah, supaya Ia mendengarkan aku.
I will cry to God with my voice, even to God with my voice, and he will give ear to me.
2 Pada hari kesusahanku aku mencari Tuhan; malam-malam tanganku terulur dan tidak menjadi lesu, jiwaku enggan dihiburkan.
In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord. My hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not. My soul refused to be comforted.
3 Apabila aku mengingat Allah, maka aku mengerang, apabila aku merenung, makin lemah lesulah semangatku. (Sela)
I remember God, and am disquieted. I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. (Selah)
4 Engkau membuat mataku tetap terbuka; aku gelisah, sehingga tidak dapat berkata-kata.
Thou have held my eyelids watching. I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5 Aku memikir-mikir hari-hari zaman purbakala, tahun-tahun zaman dahulu aku ingat.
I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
6 Aku sebut-sebut pada waktu malam dalam hatiku, aku merenung, dan rohku mencari-cari:
I call to remembrance my song in the night. I commune with my own heart, and my spirit makes diligent search.
7 "Untuk selamanyakah Tuhan menolak dan tidak kembali bermurah hati lagi?
Will the Lord cast off forever? And will he be favorable no more?
8 Sudah lenyapkah untuk seterusnya kasih setia-Nya, telah berakhirkah janji itu berlaku turun-temurun?
Has his loving kindness entirely gone forever? Does his promise fail for evermore?
9 Sudah lupakah Allah menaruh kasihan, atau ditutup-Nyakah rahmat-Nya karena murka-Nya?" (Sela)
Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he in anger shut up his tender mercies? (Selah)
10 Maka kataku: "Inilah yang menikam hatiku, bahwa tangan kanan Yang Mahatinggi berubah."
And I said, This is my infirmity, the change of the right hand of the Most High.
11 Aku hendak mengingat perbuatan-perbuatan TUHAN, ya, aku hendak mengingat keajaiban-keajaiban-Mu dari zaman purbakala.
I will make mention of the deeds of Jehovah, for I will remember thy wonders of old.
12 Aku hendak menyebut-nyebut segala pekerjaan-Mu, dan merenungkan perbuatan-perbuatan-Mu.
I will meditate also upon all thy work, and muse on thy doings.
13 Ya Allah, jalan-Mu adalah kudus! Allah manakah yang begitu besar seperti Allah kami?
Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary. Who is a great god like God?
14 Engkaulah Allah yang melakukan keajaiban; Engkau telah menyatakan kuasa-Mu di antara bangsa-bangsa.
Thou are the God who does wonders. Thou have made known thy strength among the peoples.
15 Dengan lengan-Mu Engkau telah menebus umat-Mu, bani Yakub dan bani Yusuf. (Sela)
With thine arm thou have redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)
16 Air telah melihat Engkau, ya Allah, air telah melihat Engkau, lalu menjadi gentar, bahkan samudera raya gemetar.
The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee. They were afraid. The depths also trembled.
17 Awan-awan mencurahkan air, awan-gemawan bergemuruh, bahkan anak-anak panah-Mu beterbangan.
The clouds poured out water. The skies sent out a sound. Thine arrows also went abroad.
18 Deru guntur-Mu menggelinding, kilat-kilat menerangi dunia, bumi gemetar dan bergoncang.
The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind. The lightnings lightened the world. The earth trembled and shook.
19 Melalui laut jalan-Mu dan lorong-Mu melalui muka air yang luas, tetapi jejak-Mu tidak kelihatan.
Thy way was in the sea, and thy paths in the great waters. And thy footsteps were not known.
20 Engkau telah menuntun umat-Mu seperti kawanan domba dengan perantaraan Musa dan Harun.
Thou led thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
