Psalms 118
1 O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Bersyukurlah kepada TUHAN, sebab Ia baik! Bahwasanya untuk selama-lamanya kasih setia-Nya.
2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Biarlah Israel berkata: "Bahwasanya untuk selama-lamanya kasih setia-Nya!"
3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Biarlah kaum Harun berkata: "Bahwasanya untuk selama-lamanya kasih setia-Nya!"
4 Let all worshippers of the Lord now say, that his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Biarlah orang yang takut akan TUHAN berkata: "Bahwasanya untuk selama-lamanya kasih setia-Nya!"
5 I made my prayer to the Lord in my trouble: and the Lord gave me an answer, and put me in a wide place.
Dalam kesesakan aku telah berseru kepada TUHAN. TUHAN telah menjawab aku dengan memberi kelegaan.
6 The Lord is on my side; I will have no fear: what is man able to do to me?
TUHAN di pihakku. Aku tidak akan takut. Apakah yang dapat dilakukan manusia terhadap aku?
7 The Lord is my great helper: I will see my desire against my haters.
TUHAN di pihakku, menolong aku; aku akan memandang rendah mereka yang membenci aku.
8 It is better to have faith in the Lord than to put one's hope in man.
Lebih baik berlindung pada TUHAN dari pada percaya kepada manusia.
9 It is better to have faith in the Lord than to put one's hope in rulers.
Lebih baik berlindung pada TUHAN dari pada percaya kepada para bangsawan.
10 All the nations have come round me; but in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.
Segala bangsa mengelilingi aku--demi nama TUHAN, sesungguhnya aku pukul mereka mundur.
11 They are round me, yes, they are all about me; but in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.
Mereka mengelilingi aku, ya mengelilingi aku--demi nama TUHAN, sesungguhnya aku pukul mereka mundur.
12 They are round me like bees; but they are put out like a fire among thorns; for in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.
Mereka mengelilingi aku seperti lebah, mereka menyala-nyala seperti api duri, --demi nama TUHAN, sesungguhnya aku pukul mereka mundur.
13 I have been hard pushed by you, so that I might have a fall: but the Lord was my helper.
Aku ditolak dengan hebat sampai jatuh, tetapi TUHAN menolong aku.
14 The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.
TUHAN itu kekuatanku dan mazmurku; Ia telah menjadi keselamatanku.
15 The sound of joy and salvation is in the tents of the upright; the right hand of the Lord does works of power.
Suara sorak-sorai dan kemenangan di kemah orang-orang benar: "Tangan kanan TUHAN melakukan keperkasaan,
16 The right hand of the Lord is lifted up; the right hand of the Lord does works of power.
tangan kanan TUHAN berkuasa meninggikan, tangan kanan TUHAN melakukan keperkasaan!"
17 Life and not death will be my part, and I will give out the story of the works of the Lord.
Aku tidak akan mati, tetapi hidup, dan aku akan menceritakan perbuatan-perbuatan TUHAN.
18 The hand of Jah has been hard on me; but he has not given me up to death.
TUHAN telah menghajar aku dengan keras, tetapi Ia tidak menyerahkan aku kepada maut.
19 Let the doors of righteousness be open to me; I will go in and give praise to the Lord.
Bukakanlah aku pintu gerbang kebenaran, aku hendak masuk ke dalamnya, hendak mengucap syukur kepada TUHAN.
20 This is the door of the Lord's house; the workers of righteousness will go in through it.
Inilah pintu gerbang TUHAN, orang-orang benar akan masuk ke dalamnya.
21 I will give you praise, for you have given me an answer, and have become my salvation.
Aku bersyukur kepada-Mu, sebab Engkau telah menjawab aku dan telah menjadi keselamatanku.
22 The stone which the builders put on one side has become the chief stone of the building.
Batu yang dibuang oleh tukang-tukang bangunan telah menjadi batu penjuru.
23 This is the Lord's doing; it is a wonder in our eyes.
Hal itu terjadi dari pihak TUHAN, suatu perbuatan ajaib di mata kita.
24 This is the day which the Lord has made; we will be full of joy and delight in it.
Inilah hari yang dijadikan TUHAN, marilah kita bersorak-sorak dan bersukacita karenanya!
25 Send salvation now, O Lord; Lord, send us your blessing.
Ya TUHAN, berilah kiranya keselamatan! Ya TUHAN, berilah kiranya kemujuran!
26 A blessing be on him who comes in the name of the Lord; we give you blessing from the house of the Lord.
Diberkatilah dia yang datang dalam nama TUHAN! Kami memberkati kamu dari dalam rumah TUHAN.
27 The Lord is God, and he has given us light; let the holy dance be ordered with branches, even up to the horns of the altar.
Tuhanlah Allah, Dia menerangi kita. Ikatkanlah korban hari raya itu dengan tali, pada tanduk-tanduk mezbah.
28 You are my God, and I will give you praise; my God, and I will give honour to your name.
Allahku Engkau, aku hendak bersyukur kepada-Mu, Allahku, aku hendak meninggikan Engkau.
29 O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Bersyukurlah kepada TUHAN, sebab Ia baik! Bahwasanya untuk selama-lamanya kasih setia-Nya.
