Salmos 77

The understanding of Asaph. O my people, attend to my law. Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

Al Músico principal: para Jeduthún: Salmo de Asaph. CON mi voz clamé á Dios, á Dios clamé, y él me escuchará.

I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.

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

I will open my mouth in parables. I will speak about concepts that are from the beginning.

Al Señor busqué en el día de mi angustia: mi mal corría de noche, y no cesaba: mi alma rehusaba consuelo.

In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.

In 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.

We have heard and known such great things, as our fathers have described to us.

Acordábame de Dios, y gritaba: quejábame, y desmayaba mi espíritu. (Selah.)

I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.

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

These things have not been hidden from their sons in any generation: declaring the praises of the Lord, and his virtues, and the wonders that he has done.

Tenías los párpados de mis ojos: estaba yo quebrantado, y no hablaba.

Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

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

And he has received testimony with Jacob, and he has set a law within Israel. Such great things, he has commanded our fathers, so as to make these things known to their sons,

Consideraba los días desde el principio, los años de los siglos.

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

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

so that another generation might know them, and so that the sons, who will be born and who will grow up, shall describe them to their sons.

Acordábame de mis canciones de noche; meditaba con mi corazón, y mi espíritu inquiría.

I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.

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

So then, may they put their hope in God, and may they not forget the works of God, and may they seek his commandments.

¿Desechará el Señor para siempre, y no volverá más á amar?

Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?

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

May they not become like their fathers, a perverse and exasperating generation: a generation that does not straighten their heart and whose spirit is not trustworthy with God.

¿Hase acabado para siempre su misericordia? ¿hase acabado la palabra suya para generación y generación?

Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?

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

The sons of Ephraim, who bend and shoot the bow, have been turned back in the day of battle.

¿Ha olvidado Dios el tener misericordia? ¿ha encerrado con ira sus piedades? (Selah.)

Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.

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

They have not kept the covenant of God. And they were not willing to walk in his law.

Y dije: Enfermedad mía es esta; traeré pues á la memoria los años de la diestra del Altísimo.

And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.

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

And they have been forgetful of his benefits, and of his miracle, which he revealed to them.

Acordaréme de las obras de JAH: sí, haré yo memoria de tus maravillas antiguas.

I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.

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

He performed miracles in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Tanis.

Y meditaré en todas tus obras, y hablaré de tus hechos.

I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.

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

He broke the sea and he led them through. And he stationed the waters, as if in a vessel.

Oh Dios, en santidad es tu camino: ¿qué Dios grande como el Dios nuestro?

Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?

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

And he led them with a cloud by day, and with illumination by fire throughout the night.

Tú eres el Dios que hace maravillas: tú hiciste notoria en los pueblos tu fortaleza.

Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.

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

He broke through the rock in the wasteland, and he gave them to drink, as if from the great abyss.

Con tu brazo redimiste á tu pueblo, á los hijos de Jacob y de José. (Selah.)

Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

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

He brought forth water from the rock, and he conducted the waters, as if they were rivers.

Viéronte las aguas, oh Dios; viéronte las aguas, temieron; y temblaron los abismos.

The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.

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

And yet, they continued to sin against him. In a waterless place, they provoked the Most High with resentment.

Las nubes echaron inundaciones de aguas; tronaron los cielos, y discurrieron tus rayos.

The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.

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

And they tempted God in their hearts, by asking for food according to their desires.

Anduvo en derredor el sonido de tus truenos; los relámpagos alumbraron el mundo; estremecióse y tembló la tierra.

The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.

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

And they spoke badly about God. They said, “Would God be able to prepare a table in the desert?

En la mar fué tu camino, y tus sendas en las muchas aguas; y tus pisadas no fueron conocidas.

Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.

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

He struck the rock, and so waters flowed and the torrents flooded, but would even he be able to provide bread, or provide a table, for his people?”

Condujiste á tu pueblo como ovejas, por mano de Moisés y de Aarón.

Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

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

Therefore, the Lord heard, and he was dismayed, and a fire was kindled within Jacob, and an anger ascended into Israel.

—

—

—

For they neither put their trust in God, nor did they hope in his salvation.

—

—

—

And he commanded the clouds from above, and he opened the doors of heaven.

—

—

—

And he rained down manna upon them to eat, and he gave them the bread of heaven.

—

—

—

Man ate the bread of Angels. He sent them provisions in abundance.

—

—

—

He transferred the south wind from heaven, and, in his virtue, he brought in the Southwest wind.

—

—

—

And he rained down flesh upon them, as if it were dust, and feathered birds, as if they were the sand of the sea.

—

—

—

And they fell down in the midst of their camp, encircling their tabernacles.

—

—

—

And they ate until they were greatly satisfied, and he brought to them according to their desires.

—

—

—

They were not cheated out of what they wanted. Their food was still in their mouth,

—

—

—

and then the wrath of God came upon them. And he slew the fat ones among them, and he impeded the elect of Israel.

—

—

—

In all these things, they continued to sin, and they were not trustworthy with his miracles.

—

—

—

And their days faded away into vanity, and their years with haste.

—

—

—

When he slew them, then they sought him. And they returned, and they drew near to him in the early morning.

—

—

—

And they were mindful that God is their helper and that the Most High God is their redeemer.

—

—

—

And they chose him with their mouth, and then they lied to him with their tongue.

—

—

—

For their heart was not upright with him, nor have they been living faithfully in his covenant.

—

—

—

Yet he is merciful, and he will pardon their sins. And he will not destroy them. And he has abundantly turned aside his own wrath. And he did not enflame his wrath entirely.

—

—

—

And he remembered that they are flesh: with a spirit that goes forth and does not return.

—

—

—

How often did they provoke him in the desert and stir him to wrath in a waterless place?

—

—

—

And they turned back and tempted God, and they exasperated the Holy One of Israel.

—

—

—

They did not remember his hand, in the day that he redeemed them from the hand of the one troubling them.

—

—

—

Thus, he positioned his signs in Egypt and his wonders in the field of Tanis.

—

—

—

And he turned their rivers into blood, along with their rain showers, so that they could not drink.

—

—

—

He sent among them the common fly, and it devoured them, and the frog, and it scattered them.

—

—

—

And he gave up their fruits to mold and their labors to the locust.

—

—

—

And he slew their vineyards with hail and their mulberry trees with severe frost.

—

—

—

And he delivered their cattle to the hail and their possessions to fire.

—

—

—

And he sent the wrath of his indignation among them: indignation and wrath and tribulation, sent forth by evil angels.

—

—

—

He made way for the path of his anger. He did not spare their souls from death. And he enclosed their beasts of burden in death.

—

—

—

And he struck all the first-born in the land of Egypt: the first-fruits of all their labor in the tabernacles of Ham.

—

—

—

And he took away his own people like sheep, and he led them through the wilderness like a flock.

—

—

—

And he led them out in hope, and they did not fear. And the sea covered their enemies.

—

—

—

And he led them to the mountain of his sanctification: the mountain that his right hand had acquired. And he cast out the Gentiles before their face. And he divided their land by lot to them, with a line of distribution.

—

—

—

And he caused the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tabernacles.

—

—

—

Yet they tempted and aggravated God Most High, and they did not keep his testaments.

—

—

—

And they turned themselves aside, and they did not serve the covenant. In the same manner as their fathers, they were turned backwards, like a crooked bow.

—

—

—

They impelled him to anger on their hills, and they provoked him to rivalry with their graven images.

—

—

—

God listened, and he spurned them, and he reduced Israel greatly, almost to nothing.

—

—

—

And he rejected the tabernacle of Shiloh, his tabernacle where he had dwelt among men.

—

—

—

And he delivered their virtue into captivity, and their beauty into the hands of the enemy.

—

—

—

And he enclosed his people with the sword, and he spurned his inheritance.

—

—

—

Fire consumed their young men, and their virgins were not lamented.

—

—

—

Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows did not weep.

—

—

—

And the Lord was awakened, as if out of sleep, and like a powerful man impaired by wine.

—

—

—

And he struck his enemies on the back. He gave them over to everlasting disgrace.

—

—

—

And he rejected the tabernacle of Joseph, and he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim.

—

—

—

But he chose the tribe of Judah: mount Zion, which he loved.

—

—

—

And he built up his sanctuary, like a single-horned beast, in the land that he founded for all ages.

—

—

—

And he chose his servant David, and he took him from the flocks of the sheep: he received him from following the ewes with their young,

—

—

—

in order to pasture Jacob his servant and Israel his inheritance.

—

—

—

And he fed them with the innocence of his heart. And he led them with the understanding of his hands.
