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.
Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of Asaph. I cried to the Lord with my voice; to God with my voice, and he gave 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 God, with my hands lifted up to him in the night, and I was not deceived. My soul refused to be comforted:
3 Apabila aku mengingat Allah, maka aku mengerang, apabila aku merenung, makin lemah lesulah semangatku. (Sela)
I remembered God, and was delighted, and was exercised, and my spirit swooned away.
4 Engkau membuat mataku tetap terbuka; aku gelisah, sehingga tidak dapat berkata-kata.
My eyes prevented the watches: I was troubled, and I spoke not.
5 Aku memikir-mikir hari-hari zaman purbakala, tahun-tahun zaman dahulu aku ingat.
I thought upon the days of old: and I had in my mind the eternal years.
6 Aku sebut-sebut pada waktu malam dalam hatiku, aku merenung, dan rohku mencari-cari:
And I meditated in the night with my own heart: and I was exercised and I swept my spirit.
7 "Untuk selamanyakah Tuhan menolak dan tidak kembali bermurah hati lagi?
Will God then cast off for ever? or will he never be more favourable again?
8 Sudah lenyapkah untuk seterusnya kasih setia-Nya, telah berakhirkah janji itu berlaku turun-temurun?
Or will he cut off his mercy for ever, from generation to generation?
9 Sudah lupakah Allah menaruh kasihan, atau ditutup-Nyakah rahmat-Nya karena murka-Nya?" (Sela)
Or will God forget to shew mercy? or will he in his anger shut up his mercies?
10 Maka kataku: "Inilah yang menikam hatiku, bahwa tangan kanan Yang Mahatinggi berubah."
And I said, Now have I begun: this is 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 remembered the works of the Lord: for I will be mindful of thy wonders from the beginning.
12 Aku hendak menyebut-nyebut segala pekerjaan-Mu, dan merenungkan perbuatan-perbuatan-Mu.
And I will meditate on all thy works: and will be employed in thy inventions.
13 Ya Allah, jalan-Mu adalah kudus! Allah manakah yang begitu besar seperti Allah kami?
Thy way, O God, is in the holy place: who is the great God like our God?
14 Engkaulah Allah yang melakukan keajaiban; Engkau telah menyatakan kuasa-Mu di antara bangsa-bangsa.
Thou art the God that dost wonders. Thou hast made thy power known among the nations:
15 Dengan lengan-Mu Engkau telah menebus umat-Mu, bani Yakub dan bani Yusuf. (Sela)
With thy arm thou hast redeemed thy people the children of Jacob and of Joseph.
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: and they were afraid, and the depths were troubled.
17 Awan-awan mencurahkan air, awan-gemawan bergemuruh, bahkan anak-anak panah-Mu beterbangan.
Great was the noise of the waters: the clouds sent out a sound. For thy arrows pass:
18 Deru guntur-Mu menggelinding, kilat-kilat menerangi dunia, bumi gemetar dan bergoncang.
The voice of thy thunder in a wheel. Thy lightnings enlightened the world: the earth shook and trembled.
19 Melalui laut jalan-Mu dan lorong-Mu melalui muka air yang luas, tetapi jejak-Mu tidak kelihatan.
Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters: and thy footsteps shall not be known.
20 Engkau telah menuntun umat-Mu seperti kawanan domba dengan perantaraan Musa dan Harun.
Thou hast conducted thy people like sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
