Psalms

For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by Asaph.

1My cry goes to God!Indeed, I cry to God for help, and for him to listen to me.

2In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord.My hand was stretched out in the night, and didn’t get tired. My soul refused to be comforted.

3I remember God, and I groan.I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah.

4You hold my eyelids open.I am so troubled that I can’t speak.

5I have considered the days of old,the years of ancient times.

6I remember my song in the night.I consider in my own heart; my spirit diligently inquires:

7“Will the Lord reject us forever?Will he be favorable no more?

8Has his loving kindness vanished forever?Does his promise fail for generations?

9Has God forgotten to be gracious?Has he, in anger, withheld his compassion?” Selah.

10Then I thought, “I will appeal to this:the years of the right hand of the Most High.”

11I will remember the LORD’s deeds;for I will remember your wonders of old.

12I will also meditate on all your work,and consider your doings.

13Your way, God, is in the sanctuary.What god is great like God?

14You are the God who does wonders.You have made your strength known among the peoples.

15You have redeemed your people with your arm,the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

16The waters saw you, God.The waters saw you, and they writhed. The depths also convulsed.

17The clouds poured out water.The skies resounded with thunder. Your arrows also flashed around.

18The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind.The lightnings lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook.

19Your way was through the sea,your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known.

20You led your people like a flock,by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

1*Phần ca trưởng... Giơ-đu-thun. Của ông A-xáp. Thánh vịnh.*

2lời tôi kêu Chúa, xin Người lắng nghe.

3hồn tôi nào có thiết lời an ủi !

4suy gẫm hoài nên khí lực tiêu hao.

5lòng xao xuyến, con chẳng nói nên lời.

6tâm hồn ấp ủ những năm xưa,

7và suy gẫm, trí lòng con tự hỏi :

8chẳng bao giờ còn rủ lòng thương đoái ?

9và thánh ngôn chấm dứt đời đời ?

10vì giận hờn mà khép kín từ tâm ?

11là Đấng Tối Cao chẳng còn ra tay nữa.

12tưởng nhớ những kỳ công thuở trước.

13sự nghiệp Ngài, con sẽ gẫm suy.

14có thần nào cao cả như Thiên Chúa ?

15biểu dương sức mạnh giữa muôn vàn dân nước.

16là giống nòi Gia-cóp và Giu-se.

17cả vực sâu cũng run rẩy kinh hoàng.

18ngang dọc khắp trời, tên lửa Ngài bay.

19khắp địa cầu lung lay rung chuyển.

20mà chẳng ai nhận thấy vết chân Ngài.

21như dẫn dắt đoàn chiên.
