177:1 1Fal 8:52Nilimlilia Mungu ili anisaidie,
nilimlilia Mungu ili anisikie.
277:2 Mwa 37:35; 32:7; 2Sam 22:7; Za 118:5; 6:6; 22:2; 88:1; 50:15; Kut 9:29; Ay 11:13; Mt 2:18; Isa 26:9Nilipokuwa katika taabu, nilimtafuta Bwana,
usiku nilinyoosha mikono bila kuchoka
na nafsi yangu ilikataa kufarijika.
377:3 Za 6:6; 78:35; Kut 2:23; Yer 45:3; 6:2Ee Mungu, nilikukumbuka wewe, nikalia kwa huzuni;
nikatafakari, roho yangu ikadhoofika.
477:4 Za 39:2Ulizuia macho yangu kufumba;
nilikuwa nasumbuka, nikashindwa kusema.
577:5 Kum 32:7; Isa 51:9; Za 44:1; 143:5; Mhu 7:16Nilitafakari juu ya siku zilizopita,
miaka mingi iliyopita,
6nilikumbuka nilivyoimba nyimbo usiku.
Moyo wangu ulitafakari
na roho yangu ikauliza:
777:7 Za 85:1; 102:13; 106:4; 1Nya 28:9“Je, Bwana atakataa milele?
Je, hatatenda mema tena?
877:8 Za 6:4; 90:14; 2Pet 3:9; Isa 27:11; Yn 2:4; Hes 23:19; Yer 15:18; Rum 9:6Je, upendo wake usio na mwisho umetoweka milele?
Je, ahadi yake imekoma nyakati zote?
977:9 Za 25:6; 40:11; 51:1; Isa 49:15Je, Mungu amesahau kuwa na huruma?
Je, katika hasira amezuia huruma yake?”
1077:10 Ay 42:3; Za 31:22; Yer 10:19; Kut 15:6Ndipo nikawaza, “Huu ndio udhaifu wangu:
lakini nitakumbuka
miaka ya mkono wa kuume
wa Aliye Juu Sana.”
1177:11 Neh 9:17; 1Nya 16:12; Za 28:5; Isa 5:14Nitayakumbuka matendo ya Bwana;
naam, nitaikumbuka miujiza yako ya zamani.
1277:12 Mwa 24:63; Za 143:5Nitazitafakari kazi zako zote
na kuyawaza matendo yako makuu.
1377:13 Za 73:17; 71:19; 86:8; Kut 15:11Ee Mungu, njia zako ni takatifu.
Ni mungu yupi aliye mkuu kama Mungu wetu?
1477:14 Kut 3:20; 34:10Wewe ndiwe Mungu utendaye miujiza,
umeonyesha uwezo wako katikati ya mataifa.
1577:15 Kut 6:6Kwa mkono wako wenye nguvu umewakomboa watu wako,
uzao wa Yakobo na Yosefu.
1677:16 Kut 14:21, 28; Isa 50:2; Hab 3:8, 10; Yos 3:15, 16; Za 114:4Maji yalikuona, Ee Mungu,
maji yalikuona yakakimbia,
vilindi vilitetemeka.
1777:17 Amu 5:4; Kut 9:23; Za 29:3; Kum 32:23Mawingu yalimwaga maji,
mbingu zikatoa ngurumo kwa radi,
mishale yako ikametameta huku na huko.
1877:18 Za 55:8; 2Sam 22:13; Amu 5:4Ngurumo yako ilisikika katika upepo wa kisulisuli,
umeme wako wa radi ukaangaza dunia,
nchi ikatetemeka na kutikisika.
1977:19 Hab 3:15; Kut 14:28; 14:22; Ay 9:8; 37:23Njia yako ilipita baharini,
mapito yako kwenye maji makuu,
ingawa nyayo zako hazikuonekana.
2077:20 Kut 4:16; 13:21; Za 78:52; Isa 63:11; Hes 33:1Uliongoza watu wako kama kundi
kwa mkono wa Mose na Aroni.
Psalm 77In Hebrew texts 77:1-20 is numbered 77:2-21.
For the director of music. For Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A psalm.
1I cried out to God for help;
I cried out to God to hear me.
2When I was in distress, I sought the Lord;
at night I stretched out untiring hands,
and I would not be comforted.
3I remembered you, God, and I groaned;
I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.77:3 The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here and at the end of verses 9 and 15.
4You kept my eyes from closing;
I was too troubled to speak.
5I thought about the former days,
the years of long ago;
6I remembered my songs in the night.
My heart meditated and my spirit asked:
7“Will the Lord reject forever?
Will he never show his favor again?
8Has his unfailing love vanished forever?
Has his promise failed for all time?
9Has God forgotten to be merciful?
Has he in anger withheld his compassion?”
10Then I thought, “To this I will appeal:
the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand.
11I will remember the deeds of the Lord;
yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.
12I will consider all your works
and meditate on all your mighty deeds.”
13Your ways, God, are holy.
What god is as great as our God?
14You are the God who performs miracles;
you display your power among the peoples.
15With your mighty arm you redeemed your people,
the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.
16The waters saw you, God,
the waters saw you and writhed;
the very depths were convulsed.
17The clouds poured down water,
the heavens resounded with thunder;
your arrows flashed back and forth.
18Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind,
your lightning lit up the world;
the earth trembled and quaked.
19Your path led through the sea,
your way through the mighty waters,
though your footprints were not seen.
20You led your people like a flock
by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
