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。

Comfort in Trouble from Recalling God’s Mighty Deeds.

To the Chief Musician; according to Jeduthun [one of David’s three chief musicians, founder of an official musical family]. A Psalm of Asaph.

77 My voice rises to God, and I will cry aloud;
My voice rises to God, and He will hear me.

In the day of my trouble I [desperately] sought the Lord;
In the night my hand was [a]stretched out [in prayer] without weariness;
My soul refused to be comforted.

I remember God; then I am disquieted and I groan;
I sigh [in prayer], and my spirit grows faint. Selah.

You have held my eyelids open;
I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

I have considered the ancient days,
The years [of prosperity] of long, long ago.

I will remember my song in the night;
I will meditate with my heart,
And my spirit searches:


Will the Lord reject forever?
And will He never be favorable again?

Has His lovingkindness ceased forever?
Have His promises ended for all time?

Has God forgotten to be gracious?
Or has He in anger withdrawn His compassion? Selah.
10 
And I said, “This is my grief,
That the right hand of the Most High has changed [and His lovingkindness is withheld].”

11 
I will [solemnly] remember the deeds of the Lord;
Yes, I will [wholeheartedly] remember Your wonders of old.
12 
I will meditate on all Your works
And thoughtfully consider all Your [great and wondrous] deeds.
13 
Your way, O God, is holy [far from sin and guilt].
What god is great like our God?
14 
You are the [awesome] God who works [powerful] wonders;
You have demonstrated Your power among the people.
15 
You have with Your [great] arm redeemed Your people,
The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

16 
The waters [of the Red Sea] saw You, O God;
The waters saw You, they were in anguish;
The deeps also trembled.
17 
The clouds poured down water;
The skies sent out a sound [of rumbling thunder];
Your arrows (lightning) flashed here and there.
18 
The voice of Your thunder was in the [b]whirlwind;
The lightnings illumined the world;
The earth trembled and shook.
19 
Your way [of escape for Your people] was through the sea,
And Your paths through the great waters,
And Your footprints were not traceable.
20 
You led Your people like a flock
By the hand of Moses and Aaron [to the promised goal].
