Psalms 77

1 Unto the end. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. I cried out to the Lord with my voice, to God with my voice, and he attended to me.

Untuk pemimpin kor. Menurut: Yedutun. Mazmur Asaf. Dengan nyaring aku berseru kepada Allah; dengan nyaring aku berseru, dan Ia mendengar aku.

2 In the days of my tribulation, I sought God, with my hands opposite him in the night, and I was not deceived. My soul refused to be consoled.

Di waktu kesesakan aku berdoa kepada TUHAN; sepanjang malam kuangkat tanganku kepada-Nya tanpa jemu, tetapi hatiku tak mau dihibur.

3 I was mindful of God, and I was delighted, and I was distressed, and my spirit fell away.

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

4 My eyes anticipated the vigils. I was disturbed, and I did not speak.

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

5 I considered the days of antiquity, and I held the years of eternity in my mind.

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

6 And I meditated in the night with my heart, and I was distressed, and I examined my spirit.

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

7 So then, will God reject for eternity? Will he not continue to allow himself to show favor?

"Untuk selamanyakah TUHAN menolak dan tidak berkenan lagi?

8 Or, will he cut off his mercy in the end, from generation to generation?

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

9 And would God ever forget to be merciful? Or, would he, in his wrath, restrict his mercies?

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

10 And I said, “Now I have begun. This change is from the right hand of the Most High.”

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

11 I was mindful of the works of the Lord. For I will be mindful from the beginning of your wonders,

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

12 and I will meditate on all your works. And I will take part in your intentions.

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

13 Your way, O God, is in what is holy. Which God is great like our God?

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

14 You are the God who performs miracles. You have made your virtue known among the peoples.

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

15 With your arm, you have redeemed your people, the sons of Jacob and of Joseph.

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

16 The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you, and they were afraid, and the depths were stirred up.

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

17 Great was the sound of the waters. The clouds uttered a voice. For your arrows also pass by.

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

18 The voice of your thunder is like a wheel. Your flashes have illuminated the whole world. The earth has quaked and trembled.

Guntur menggelegar, kilat berpijar, bumi goncang dan gemetar.

19 Your way is through the sea, and your paths are through many waters. And your traces will not be known.

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

20 You have conducted your people like sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

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