Psalms 118

1 Alleluia. Confess to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy is forever.

Bersyukurlah kepada TUHAN, sebab Ia baik! Bahwasanya untuk selama-lamanya kasih setia-Nya.

2 Let Israel now say: For he is good, for his mercy is forever.

Biarlah Israel berkata: "Bahwasanya untuk selama-lamanya kasih setia-Nya!"

3 Let the house of Aaron now say: For his mercy is forever.

Biarlah kaum Harun berkata: "Bahwasanya untuk selama-lamanya kasih setia-Nya!"

4 Let those who fear the Lord now say: For his mercy is forever.

Biarlah orang yang takut akan TUHAN berkata: "Bahwasanya untuk selama-lamanya kasih setia-Nya!"

5 In my tribulation, I called upon the Lord. And the Lord heeded me with generosity.

Dalam kesesakan aku telah berseru kepada TUHAN. TUHAN telah menjawab aku dengan memberi kelegaan.

6 The Lord is my helper. I will not fear what man can do to me.

TUHAN di pihakku. Aku tidak akan takut. Apakah yang dapat dilakukan manusia terhadap aku?

7 The Lord is my helper. And I will look down upon my enemies.

TUHAN di pihakku, menolong aku; aku akan memandang rendah mereka yang membenci aku.

8 It is good to trust in the Lord, rather than to trust in man.

Lebih baik berlindung pada TUHAN dari pada percaya kepada manusia.

9 It is good to hope in the Lord, rather than to hope in leaders.

Lebih baik berlindung pada TUHAN dari pada percaya kepada para bangsawan.

10 All the nations have surrounded me. And, in the name of the Lord, I have been avenged over them.

Segala bangsa mengelilingi aku--demi nama TUHAN, sesungguhnya aku pukul mereka mundur.

11 Surrounding me, they closed in on me. And, in the name of the Lord, I have been avenged over them.

Mereka mengelilingi aku, ya mengelilingi aku--demi nama TUHAN, sesungguhnya aku pukul mereka mundur.

12 They surrounded me like a swarm, and they burned like fire among the thorns. And, in the name of the Lord, I have been avenged over them.

Mereka mengelilingi aku seperti lebah, mereka menyala-nyala seperti api duri, --demi nama TUHAN, sesungguhnya aku pukul mereka mundur.

13 Having been pushed, I was overturned so as to fall. But the Lord took me up.

Aku ditolak dengan hebat sampai jatuh, tetapi TUHAN menolong aku.

14 The Lord is my strength and my praise. And he has become my salvation.

TUHAN itu kekuatanku dan mazmurku; Ia telah menjadi keselamatanku.

15 A voice of exultation and salvation is in the tabernacles of the just.

Suara sorak-sorai dan kemenangan di kemah orang-orang benar: "Tangan kanan TUHAN melakukan keperkasaan,

16 The right hand of the Lord has wrought virtue. The right hand of the Lord has exalted me. The right hand of the Lord has wrought virtue.

tangan kanan TUHAN berkuasa meninggikan, tangan kanan TUHAN melakukan keperkasaan!"

17 I will not die, but I will live. And I will declare the works of the Lord.

Aku tidak akan mati, tetapi hidup, dan aku akan menceritakan perbuatan-perbuatan TUHAN.

18 When chastising, the Lord chastised me. But he has not delivered me over to death.

TUHAN telah menghajar aku dengan keras, tetapi Ia tidak menyerahkan aku kepada maut.

19 Open the gates of justice to me. I will enter them, and I will confess to the Lord.

Bukakanlah aku pintu gerbang kebenaran, aku hendak masuk ke dalamnya, hendak mengucap syukur kepada TUHAN.

20 This is the gate of the Lord. The just will enter by it.

Inilah pintu gerbang TUHAN, orang-orang benar akan masuk ke dalamnya.

21 I will confess to you because you have heard me. And you have become my salvation.

Aku bersyukur kepada-Mu, sebab Engkau telah menjawab aku dan telah menjadi keselamatanku.

22 The stone which the builders have rejected, this has become the head of the corner.

Batu yang dibuang oleh tukang-tukang bangunan telah menjadi batu penjuru.

23 By the Lord has this been done, and it is a wonder before our eyes.

Hal itu terjadi dari pihak TUHAN, suatu perbuatan ajaib di mata kita.

24 This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us exult and rejoice in it.

Inilah hari yang dijadikan TUHAN, marilah kita bersorak-sorak dan bersukacita karenanya!

25 O Lord, grant salvation to me. O Lord, grant good prosperity.

Ya TUHAN, berilah kiranya keselamatan! Ya TUHAN, berilah kiranya kemujuran!

26 Blessed is he who arrives in the name of the Lord. We have blessed you 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 enlightened us. Establish a solemn day amid a dense crowd, even to the horn 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 confess to you. You are my God, and I will exalt you. I will confess to you, for you have heeded me. And you have become my salvation.

Allahku Engkau, aku hendak bersyukur kepada-Mu, Allahku, aku hendak meninggikan Engkau.

29 Confess to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy is forever.

Bersyukurlah kepada TUHAN, sebab Ia baik! Bahwasanya untuk selama-lamanya kasih setia-Nya.
