< Psalms 25 >
1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. To you, Lord, I have lifted up my soul.
Mazmur Daud. Kepada-Mu, ya TUHAN, kupanjatkan doaku,
2 In you, my God, I trust. Let me not be put to shame.
ya Allahku, aku percaya kepada-Mu! Jangan biarkan aku dipermalukan, dan disoraki musuh-musuhku.
3 And do not let my enemies laugh at me. For all who remain with you will not be confounded.
Orang yang berkhianat kepada-Mu akan dipermalukan, tetapi yang percaya kepada-Mu tak akan dikecewakan.
4 May all those who act unjustly over nothing be confounded. O Lord, demonstrate your ways to me, and teach me your paths.
Tunjukkanlah kehendak-Mu kepadaku, ya TUHAN, nyatakanlah apa yang harus kulakukan.
5 Direct me in your truth, and teach me. For you are God, my Savior, and I remain with you all day long.
Ajarilah dan bimbinglah aku untuk hidup menurut kehendak-Mu, sebab Engkaulah Allah yang menyelamatkan aku, aku selalu berharap kepada-Mu.
6 O Lord, remember your compassion and your mercies, which are from ages past.
Ingatlah kebaikan dan kasih-Mu, ya TUHAN, yang Kautunjukkan sejak semula.
7 Do not remember the offenses of my youth and my ignorances. Remember me according to your mercy, because of your goodness, O Lord.
Ampunilah dosa dan kesalahan masa mudaku, ingatlah aku sesuai dengan kasih dan kebaikan-Mu.
8 The Lord is sweet and righteous. Because of this, he will grant a law to those who fall short in the way.
Sebab TUHAN baik dan adil, Ia menunjukkan jalan kepada orang yang sesat.
9 He will direct the mild in judgment. He will teach the meek his ways.
TUHAN membimbing orang yang rendah hati, dan mengajar mereka kehendak-Nya.
10 All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth, to those who yearn for his covenant and his testimonies.
Orang yang taat pada perjanjian dan hukum-Nya, diperlakukan-Nya dengan kasih dan setia.
11 Because of your name, O Lord, you will pardon my sin, for it is great.
TUHAN, ampunilah aku sesuai dengan janji-Mu, sebab besarlah kesalahanku.
12 Which is the man who fears the Lord? He has established a law for him, on the way that he has chosen.
TUHAN mengajarkan kepada orang takwa jalan yang harus mereka tempuh.
13 His soul will dwell upon good things, and his offspring will inherit the earth.
Mereka akan tetap hidup makmur, anak cucu mereka akan mewarisi tanah pusaka.
14 The Lord is a firmament to those who fear him, and his covenant will be made manifest to them.
TUHAN adalah sahabat orang yang takwa, Ia menyatakan maksud-Nya kepada mereka.
15 My eyes are ever toward the Lord, for he will pull my feet from the snare.
Mataku tetap terarah kepada TUHAN, sebab Ia menyelamatkan aku dari bahaya.
16 Look upon me and have mercy on me; for I am alone and poor.
Pandanglah aku, dan kasihani aku, sebab aku kesepian dan sengsara.
17 The troubles of my heart have been multiplied. Deliver me from my needfulness.
Kesusahan hatiku semakin bertambah bebaskanlah aku dari kesesakanku.
18 See my lowliness and my hardship, and release all my offenses.
Perhatikanlah sengsara dan kesukaranku, dan ampunilah semua dosaku.
19 Consider my enemies, for they have been multiplied, and they have hated me with an unjust hatred.
Lihatlah betapa banyak musuhku; mereka sangat membenci aku.
20 Preserve my soul and rescue me. I will not be ashamed, for I have hoped in you.
Jagalah dan selamatkanlah aku, supaya aku tidak mendapat malu, sebab aku berlindung pada-Mu.
21 The innocent and the righteous have adhered to me, because I have remained with you.
Semoga kebaikan dan kejujuran mengawal aku, sebab aku berharap kepada-Mu.
22 Free Israel, O God, from all his tribulations.
Ya Allah, bebaskanlah umat-Mu dari segala kesesakannya.
