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.
To the Chief Musician. On "Jeduthun." Asaph’s, a Melody. With my voice—unto God, will I make outcry, With my voice unto God, and he will give ear unto me;
2 Pada hari kesusahanku aku mencari Tuhan; malam-malam tanganku terulur dan tidak menjadi lesu, jiwaku enggan dihiburkan.
In the day of my distress—unto My Lord, will I seek, My hand, by night, hath been outstretched and never once became slack, My soul, hath refused to be consoled;
3 Apabila aku mengingat Allah, maka aku mengerang, apabila aku merenung, makin lemah lesulah semangatku. (Sela)
I remember God and I murmur, I muse, and my spirit swooneth. (Selah)
4 Engkau membuat mataku tetap terbuka; aku gelisah, sehingga tidak dapat berkata-kata.
Thou hast held, watching, mine eyes, I was driven to and fro, and could not speak;
5 Aku memikir-mikir hari-hari zaman purbakala, tahun-tahun zaman dahulu aku ingat.
I reasoned, Of the days of aforetime, Of the years of by-gone ages;
6 Aku sebut-sebut pada waktu malam dalam hatiku, aku merenung, dan rohku mencari-cari:
I remember my song in the night, —With my own heart, I commune, And my spirit, maketh search: —
7 "Untuk selamanyakah Tuhan menolak dan tidak kembali bermurah hati lagi?
For ages, will My Lord reject? And, not again, grant acceptance any more?
8 Sudah lenyapkah untuk seterusnya kasih setia-Nya, telah berakhirkah janji itu berlaku turun-temurun?
Hath his lovingkindness, come to a perpetual end? Hath his word failed to generation after generation?
9 Sudah lupakah Allah menaruh kasihan, atau ditutup-Nyakah rahmat-Nya karena murka-Nya?" (Sela)
Hath GOD, forgotten to show favour? Or hath he shut up, in anger, his compassions? (Selah)
10 Maka kataku: "Inilah yang menikam hatiku, bahwa tangan kanan Yang Mahatinggi berubah."
Then said I—An affliction to me, it is, The changing 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 remember the doings of Yah, Surely I will remember, out of aforetime, thy wonderful way;
12 Aku hendak menyebut-nyebut segala pekerjaan-Mu, dan merenungkan perbuatan-perbuatan-Mu.
And will talk to myself of all thy work, And, of thy doings, will I muse: —
13 Ya Allah, jalan-Mu adalah kudus! Allah manakah yang begitu besar seperti Allah kami?
O God, in the sanctuary, is thy way, —Who is a great GOD like Elohim?
14 Engkaulah Allah yang melakukan keajaiban; Engkau telah menyatakan kuasa-Mu di antara bangsa-bangsa.
Thou, art GOD, doing wonderfully, —Thou hast made known, among the peoples, thy might;
15 Dengan lengan-Mu Engkau telah menebus umat-Mu, bani Yakub dan bani Yusuf. (Sela)
Thou didst redeem, with thine arm—Thy people, Thy 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 in birth-throes, Yea the resounding deeps were stirred;
17 Awan-awan mencurahkan air, awan-gemawan bergemuruh, bahkan anak-anak panah-Mu beterbangan.
The clouds, poured down waters, The skies uttered, a voice, Yea, thine arrows, flew hither and thither;
18 Deru guntur-Mu menggelinding, kilat-kilat menerangi dunia, bumi gemetar dan bergoncang.
The, voice of thy thunder, was in the whirlwind, Thy lightnings illumined the world, The earth, trembled and quaked;
19 Melalui laut jalan-Mu dan lorong-Mu melalui muka air yang luas, tetapi jejak-Mu tidak kelihatan.
In the sea, was thy way, And, thy path, in the mighty waters, And, thy footprints, could not be known:
20 Engkau telah menuntun umat-Mu seperti kawanan domba dengan perantaraan Musa dan Harun.
Thou didst lead, like a flock, thy people, By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
