遇难时追思神心得安慰

77 亚萨的诗,照耶杜顿的做法,交于伶长。

我要向神发声呼求,我向神发声,他必留心听我。
我在患难之日寻求主,我在夜间不住地举手祷告,我的心不肯受安慰。
我想念神,就烦躁不安;我沉吟悲伤,心便发昏。(细拉)
你叫我不能闭眼,我烦乱不安,甚至不能说话。
我追想古时之日,上古之年。
我想起我夜间的歌曲,扪心自问,我心里也仔细省察:
难道主要永远丢弃我,不再施恩吗?
难道他的慈爱永远穷尽,他的应许世世废弃吗?
难道神忘记开恩,因发怒就止住他的慈悲吗?(细拉)
10 我便说:“这是我的懦弱,但我要追念至高者显出右手之年代。”
11 我要提说耶和华所行的,我要记念你古时的奇事。
12 我也要思想你的经营,默念你的作为。
13 神啊,你的作为是洁净的,有何神大如神呢?
14 你是行奇事的神,你曾在列邦中彰显你的能力。
15 你曾用你的膀臂赎了你的民,就是雅各约瑟的子孙。(细拉)
16 神啊,诸水见你,一见就都惊惶,深渊也都战抖。
17 云中倒出水来,天空发出响声,你的箭也飞行四方。
18 你的雷声在旋风中,电光照亮世界,大地战抖震动。
19 你的道在海中,你的路在大水中,你的脚踪无人知道。
20 你曾借摩西亚伦的手引导你的百姓,好像羊群一般。

To the director, Jeduthun.[a] One of Asaph’s songs.

77 I cry out to God for help.
    I cry out to you, God; listen to me!
My Lord, in my time of trouble I came to you.
    I reached out for you all night long.
    My soul refused to be comforted.
I thought about you, God,
    and tried to tell you how I felt, but I could not.
You would not let me sleep.
    I tried to say something, but I was too upset.
I kept thinking about the past,
    about things that happened long ago.
During the night, I thought about my songs.
    I talked to myself, trying to understand what is happening.
I wondered, “Has our Lord rejected us forever?
    Will he ever accept us again?
Is his love gone forever?
    Will he never again speak to us?
Has God forgotten what mercy is?
    Has his compassion changed to anger?” Selah

10 Then I said to myself, “What bothers me most is the thought
    that God Most High has lost his power.”

11 Lord, I remember what you have done.
    I remember the amazing things you did long ago.
12 I think about those things.
    I think about them all the time.
13 God, all that you do is holy.
    No god is as great as you are.
14 You are the God who does amazing things.
    You showed the nations your great power.
15 By your power you saved your people,
    the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

16 God, the water saw you and became afraid.
    The deep water shook with fear.
17 The thick clouds dropped their water.
    Thunder roared in the sky above.
    Your arrows of lightning flashed through the clouds.
18 There were loud claps of thunder.
    Lightning lit up the world.
    The earth shook and trembled.
19 You walked through the water and crossed the deep sea,
    but you left no footprints.
20 You led your people like sheep,
    using Moses and Aaron to guide them.

The Consoling Memory of God’s Redemptive Works

To the Chief Musician. (A)To Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.

77 I cried out to God with my voice—
To God with my voice;
And He gave ear to me.
In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord;
My hand was stretched out in the night without ceasing;
My soul refused to be comforted.
I remembered God, and was troubled;
I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah

You hold my eyelids open;
I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
I have considered the days of old,
The years of ancient times.
I call to remembrance my song in the night;
I meditate within my heart,
And my spirit [a]makes diligent search.

Will the Lord cast off forever?
And will He be favorable no more?
Has His mercy ceased forever?
Has His (B)promise failed [b]forevermore?
Has God forgotten to be gracious?
Has He in anger shut up His tender mercies? Selah

10 And I said, “This is my [c]anguish;
But I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.”
11 I will remember the works of the Lord;
Surely I will remember Your wonders of old.
12 I will also meditate on all Your work,
And talk of Your deeds.
13 Your way, O God, is in [d]the (C)sanctuary;
Who is so great a God as our God?
14 You are the God who does wonders;
You have declared Your strength among the peoples.
15 You have with Your arm redeemed Your people,
The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

16 The waters saw You, O God;
The waters saw You, they were (D)afraid;
The depths also trembled.
17 The clouds poured out water;
The skies sent out a sound;
Your arrows also flashed about.
18 The voice of Your thunder was in the whirlwind;
The lightnings lit up the world;
The earth trembled and shook.
19 Your way was in the sea,
Your path in the great waters,
And Your footsteps were not known.
20 You led Your people like a flock
By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
