Psalms 89
1 A Maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the loving devotion of the LORD forever; with my mouth I will proclaim Your faithfulness to all generations.
Nyanyian pengajaran Etan, orang Ezrahi.
2 For I have said, “Loving devotion is built up forever; in the heavens You establish Your faithfulness.”
Sebab aku tahu kasih-Mu kekal abadi, kesetiaan-Mu teguh seperti langit.
3 You said, “I have made a covenant with My chosen one, I have sworn to David My servant:
Engkau berkata, "Aku sudah membuat perjanjian dengan orang pilihan-Ku; Aku telah bersumpah kepada Daud, hamba-Ku:
4 ‘I will establish your offspring forever and build up your throne for all generations.’”
'Takhtamu Kupertahankan untuk selama-lamanya, turun-temurun anak cucumu akan mendudukinya.'"
5 The heavens praise Your wonders, O LORD— Your faithfulness as well— in the assembly of the holy ones.
Sidang surgawi memuji perbuatan-perbuatan-Mu yang ajaib, dan menyanyikan kesetiaan-Mu, TUHAN.
6 For who in the skies can compare with the LORD? Who among the heavenly beings is like the LORD?
Di langit tak ada yang seperti Engkau, ya TUHAN, tak ada makhluk surgawi yang menyamai Engkau.
7 In the council of the holy ones, God is greatly feared, and awesome above all who surround Him.
Engkau dihormati di kalangan para suci, ditakuti lebih dari semua di sekeliling-Mu.
8 O LORD God of Hosts, who is like You? O mighty LORD, Your faithfulness surrounds You.
TUHAN, Allah Yang Mahakuasa, siapakah sekuat Engkau? Engkau setia dalam segala-galanya ya TUHAN.
9 You rule the raging sea; when its waves mount up, You still them.
Engkau menguasai laut yang bergelora, dan meredakan ombaknya yang dahsyat.
10 You crushed Rahab like a carcass; You scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm.
Rahab, naga laut, Kauremukkan dan Kaubunuh, dengan tangan kuat Kaukalahkan musuh-musuh-Mu.
11 The heavens are Yours, and also the earth. The earth and its fullness You founded.
Langit dan bumi adalah milik-Mu, dunia dan segala isinya ciptaan-Mu.
12 North and south You created; Tabor and Hermon shout for joy at Your name.
Engkaulah yang menjadikan utara dan selatan, Gunung Tabor dan Hermon bersorak-sorai bagi-Mu.
13 Mighty is Your arm; strong is Your hand. Your right hand is exalted.
Betapa besar kuasa-Mu, dan betapa hebat kekuatan-Mu!
14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; loving devotion and faithfulness go before You.
Keadilan dan hukum adalah dasar kerajaan-Mu, kasih dan kesetiaan nyata dalam segala tindakan-Mu.
15 Blessed are those who know the joyful sound, who walk, O LORD, in the light of Your presence.
Berbahagialah bangsa yang beribadat dengan gembira, yang hidup dalam cahaya kehadiran-Mu, TUHAN.
16 They rejoice in Your name all day long, and in Your righteousness they exult.
Sepanjang hari mereka bersukacita dan tetap teguh, karena kebaikan-Mu.
17 For You are the glory of their strength, and by Your favor our horn is exalted.
Engkau memberi kami kemenangan yang gilang-gemilang, karena kebaikan-Mulah kami menang.
18 Surely our shield belongs to the LORD, and our king to the Holy One of Israel.
Sebab pelindung kami adalah orang pilihan-Mu, ya TUHAN; raja kami adalah milik Allah Kudus Israel.
19 You once spoke in a vision; to Your godly ones You said, “I have bestowed help on a warrior; I have exalted one chosen from the people.
Dahulu kala dalam suatu penglihatan, Engkau berkata kepada hamba-Mu yang setia, "Aku telah menolong seorang pahlawan, seorang yang Kupilih dari rakyat telah Kutinggikan.
20 I have found My servant David; with My sacred oil I have anointed him.
Aku telah menemukan Daud, hamba-Ku, dan Kulantik dia dengan minyak upacara.
21 My hand will sustain him; surely My arm will strengthen him.
Kekuatan-Ku akan selalu melindunginya, kuasa-Ku akan menguatkan dia.
22 No enemy will exact tribute; no wicked man will oppress him.
Ia tak akan dikalahkan musuh, dan tak akan ditindas orang jahat.
23 I will crush his foes before him and strike down those who hate him.
Semua musuhnya akan Kubinasakan, Kubunuh siapa saja yang membenci dia.
24 My faithfulness and loving devotion will be with him, and through My name his horn will be exalted.
Aku akan tetap mengasihi dia dan setia kepadanya, dan membuat dia semakin berkuasa.
25 I will set his hand over the sea, and his right hand upon the rivers.
Kerajaannya akan Kuluaskan, dari Laut Tengah sampai ke Sungai Efrat.
26 He will call to Me, ‘You are my Father, my God, the Rock of my salvation.’
Ia akan berkata kepada-Ku, 'Engkaulah Bapaku, Allahku, pelindung dan penyelamatku.'
27 I will indeed appoint him as My firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.
Aku akan menjadikan dia putra-Ku yang sulung, yang paling agung di antara semua raja.
28 I will forever preserve My loving devotion for him, and My covenant with him will stand fast.
Dia akan tetap Kukasihi sampai kekal, perjanjian-Ku dengan dia tetap teguh.
29 I will establish his line forever, his throne as long as the heavens endure.
Takhtanya Kupertahankan selama langit ada di atas bumi, turun-temurun anak cucunya akan mendudukinya.
30 If his sons forsake My law and do not walk in My judgments,
Tetapi kalau keturunannya melanggar hukum-Ku, dan tidak hidup menurut perintah-Ku,
31 if they violate My statutes and fail to keep My commandments,
kalau mereka tidak mengindahkan ketetapan-Ku dan mengabaikan peraturan-Ku,
32 I will attend to their transgression with the rod, and to their iniquity with stripes.
mereka Kuhukum dengan cambuk karena pelanggarannya, dan Kutimpa dengan bencana karena dosa-dosanya.
33 But I will not withdraw My loving devotion from him, nor ever betray My faithfulness.
Tetapi Aku akan tetap mengasihi Daud, dan tak akan mengingkari kesetiaan-Ku.
34 I will not violate My covenant or alter the utterance of My lips.
Perjanjian-Ku dengan dia takkan Kubatalkan, dari janji-Ku tak satu pun Kutarik kembali.
35 Once and for all I have sworn by My holiness— I will not lie to David—
Sekali untuk selamanya Aku bersumpah demi nama-Ku yang suci; Aku tak akan berbohong kepada Daud.
36 his offspring shall endure forever, and his throne before Me like the sun,
Takhtanya akan bertahan selama matahari ada, turun-temurun anak cucunya akan mendudukinya.
37 like the moon, established forever, a faithful witness in the sky.”
Kerajaannya tetap ada seperti bulan, saksi setia di awan-awan."
38 Now, however, You have spurned and rejected him; You are enraged by Your anointed one.
Tetapi sekarang Engkau marah kepada raja, Engkau membuang dan menolak orang pilihan-Mu.
39 You have renounced the covenant with Your servant and sullied his crown in the dust.
Kaubatalkan perjanjian-Mu dengan hamba-Mu, mahkotanya Kaulemparkan ke dalam lumpur.
40 You have broken down all his walls; You have reduced his strongholds to rubble.
Kaurobohkan tembok-tembok kotanya, benteng-benteng Kaujadikan reruntuhan.
41 All who pass by plunder him; he has become a reproach to his neighbors.
Semua orang yang lewat merampas miliknya, ia menjadi bahan ejekan bagi tetangganya.
42 You have exalted the right hand of his foes; You have made all his enemies rejoice.
Engkau memberi kemenangan kepada musuh-musuhnya, dan membuat semua lawannya bergembira.
43 You have bent the edge of his sword and have not sustained him in battle.
Bahkan senjatanya Kaujadikan tak berguna, Engkau tidak menolong dia dalam perang.
44 You have ended his splendor and cast his throne to the ground.
Kauakhiri kuasanya yang semarak, takhtanya Kaucampakkan ke tanah.
45 You have cut short the days of his youth; You have covered him with shame.
Engkau memperpendek masa mudanya, dan menutupi dia dengan malu.
46 How long, O LORD? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your wrath keep burning like fire?
Sampai kapan Engkau bersembunyi, ya TUHAN? Sampai kapan kemarahan-Mu berkobar seperti api?
47 Remember the briefness of my lifespan! For what futility You have created all men!
Ingatlah aku betapa singkatnya hidupku ini, Kauciptakan manusia sebagai makhluk yang fana.
48 What man can live and never see death? Can he deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? (Sheol h7585)
Siapakah yang dapat hidup terus dan tidak mati? Siapakah yang dapat luput dari kuburan? (Sheol h7585)
49 Where, O Lord, is Your loving devotion of old, which You faithfully swore to David?
Ya TUHAN, di manakah tanda kasih-Mu yang semula, yang Kaujanjikan kepada Daud demi kesetiaan-Mu?
50 Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your servants, which I bear in my heart from so many people—
Ingatlah ya TUHAN, bagaimana hamba-Mu ini dicela, aku menanggung penghinaan banyak bangsa.
51 how Your enemies have taunted, O LORD, and have mocked every step of Your anointed one!
Musuh-musuh-Mu menghina raja pilihan-Mu, ya TUHAN, mengejek dia ke mana saja ia pergi.
52 Blessed be the LORD forever! Amen and amen.
Pujilah TUHAN untuk selama-lamanya. Jadilah demikian! Amin!
