Psalms 77

1 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.

阿撒夫的詩歌，交與樂官耶杜通。 我呼號，我的呼聲上達天主前，我向天主高呼，求他俯聽矜憐。

2 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:

我在患難之日，尋求上主，雖整夜伸手，亦不覺辛苦，我的心靈且不接受安撫。

3 I remembered God, and was delighted, and was exercised, and my spirit swooned away.

我一懷念天主，即咨嗟哀歎，我一沉思考慮，即心灰意懶。

4 My eyes prevented the watches: I was troubled, and I spoke not.

您使我的眼睛徹夜不眠，我實煩燥難安，苦不堪言。

5 I thought upon the days of old: and I had in my mind the eternal years.

我回憶往昔的時日，我懷念過去的歲月。

6 And I meditated in the night with my own heart: and I was exercised and I swept my spirit.

我的心靈夜間默默自問，我的神魂時時沉思質詢：

7 Will God then cast off for ever? or will he never be more favourable again?

難道天主永遠拒絕，難道不再回顧憐愛？

8 Or will he cut off his mercy for ever, from generation to generation?

難道他的恩愛永遠停止，他的諾言也將永世廢棄？

9 Or will God forget to shew mercy? or will he in his anger shut up his mercies?

難道天主忘記了慈悲﹖因憤怒而將慈愛關閉？

10 And I said, Now have I begun: this is the change of the right hand of the most High.

因此我說：這是我的苦難：至高者的右手已經改變。

11 I remembered the works of the Lord: for I will be mindful of thy wonders from the beginning.

我現今追念上主的作為，回想您往昔所行的奇蹟；

12 And I will meditate on all thy works: and will be employed in thy inventions.

沉思您的一切所作所為，更要默想您的一切異事。

13 Thy way, O God, is in the holy place: who is the great God like our God?

天主，您的行徑完全在於聖化，何神像我們的天主如此偉大？

14 Thou art the God that dost wonders. Thou hast made thy power known among the nations:

只有您是施行奇蹟的天主！在萬民中彰顯了您的威武。

15 With thy arm thou hast redeemed thy people the children of Jacob and of Joseph.

您以臂力拯救了您的人民，就是雅各伯和若瑟的子孫。

16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee: and they were afraid, and the depths were troubled.

大水一旦看見您，天主，大水一見您就都恐怖，連深淵汪洋也都顫抖。

17 Great was the noise of the waters: the clouds sent out a sound. For thy arrows pass:

雲天大雨傾降，烏雲發出巨響，火箭滿天飛翔。

18 The voice of thy thunder in a wheel. Thy lightnings enlightened the world: the earth shook and trembled.

您的雷霆在旋風中發響，閃電也將整個世界照亮，大地驚慌失措而又搖盪。

19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters: and thy footsteps shall not be known.

您的道路雖然經過海底，您的途徑雖然穿越大水，卻沒有顯露出您的足跡。

20 Thou hast conducted thy people like sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

您曾藉著梅瑟和亞郎的手掌，領導您的子民有如領導群羊。
