Psalms 35
1 Of David himself. O Lord, judge those who harm me; assail those who attack me.
Dari Daud. Berbantahlah, TUHAN, melawan orang yang berbantah dengan aku, berperanglah melawan orang yang berperang melawan aku!
2 Take hold of weapons and a shield, and rise up in assistance to me.
Peganglah perisai dan utar-utar, bangunlah menolong aku,
3 Bring forth the spear, and close in on those who persecute me. Say to my soul, “I am your salvation.”
cabutlah tombak dan kapak menghadapi orang-orang yang mengejar aku; katakanlah kepada jiwaku: "Akulah keselamatanmu!"
4 Let them be confounded and in awe, who pursue my soul. Let them be turned back and be confounded, who think up evil against me.
Biarlah mendapat malu dan kena noda, orang-orang yang ingin mencabut nyawaku; biarlah mundur dan tersipu-sipu orang-orang yang merancang kecelakaanku!
5 May they become like dust before the face of the wind, and let the Angel of the Lord hem them in.
Biarlah mereka seperti sekam dibawa angin, didorong Malaikat TUHAN;
6 May their way become dark and slippery, and may the Angel of the Lord pursue them.
biarlah jalan mereka gelap dan licin, dan Malaikat TUHAN mengejar mereka!
7 For, without cause, they have concealed their snare for me unto destruction. Over nothing, they have rebuked my soul.
Karena tanpa alasan mereka memasang jaring terhadap aku, tanpa alasan mereka menggali pelubang untuk nyawaku.
8 Let the snare, of which he is ignorant, come upon him, and let the deception, which he has hidden, take hold of him: and may he fall into that very snare.
Biarlah kebinasaan mendatangi dia dengan tidak disangka-sangka, jerat yang dipasangnya, biarlah menangkap dia sendiri, biarlah ia jatuh dan musnah!
9 But my soul will exult in the Lord and delight over his salvation.
Tetapi aku bersorak-sorak karena TUHAN, aku girang karena keselamatan dari pada-Nya;
10 All my bones will say, “Lord, who is like you?” He rescues the needy from the hand of the stronger one, the indigent and the poor from those who plunder him.
segala tulangku berkata: "Ya, TUHAN, siapakah yang seperti Engkau, yang melepaskan orang sengsara dari tangan orang yang lebih kuat dari padanya, orang sengsara dan miskin dari tangan orang yang merampasi dia?"
11 Unfair witnesses have risen up, interrogating me about things of which I am ignorant.
Saksi-saksi yang gemar kekerasan bangkit berdiri, apa yang tidak kuketahui, itulah yang mereka tuntut dari padaku.
12 They repaid me evil for good, to the deprivation of my soul.
Mereka membalas kebaikanku dengan kejahatan; perasaan bulus mencekam aku.
13 But as for me, when they were harassing me, I was clothed with haircloth. I humbled my soul with fasting, and my prayer will become my sinews.
Tetapi aku, ketika mereka sakit, aku memakai pakaian kabung; aku menyiksa diriku dengan berpuasa, dan doaku kembali timbul dalam dadaku,
14 Like a neighbor, and like our brother, so did I please; like one mourning and contrite, so was I humbled.
seolah-olah temanku atau saudarakulah yang sakit, demikianlah aku berlaku; seperti orang yang berkeluh kesah karena kematian ibu, demikianlah aku tunduk dengan pakaian kabung.
15 And they have been joyful against me, and they joined together. Scourges have been gathered over me, and I was ignorant of it.
Tetapi ketika aku tersandung jatuh, bersukacitalah mereka dan berkerumun, berkerumun melawan aku; orang-orang asing yang tidak kukenal menista aku dengan tidak henti-hentinya;
16 They have been scattered, yet they were unremorseful. They have tested me. They scoffed at me with scorn. They gnashed their teeth over me.
dengan fasik mereka mengolok-olok terus, menggertakkan giginya terhadap aku.
17 Lord, when will you look down upon me? Restore my soul from before their malice, my only one from before the lions.
Sampai berapa lama, Tuhan, Engkau memandangi saja? Selamatkanlah jiwaku dari perusakan mereka, nyawaku dari singa-singa muda!
18 I will confess to you in a great Church. I will praise you among a weighty people.
Aku mau menyanyikan syukur kepada-Mu dalam jemaah yang besar, di tengah-tengah rakyat yang banyak aku mau memuji-muji Engkau.
19 May those who are my unjust adversaries not be glad over me: those who have hated me without cause, and who nod agreement with their eyes.
Janganlah sekali-kali bersukacita atas aku orang-orang yang memusuhi aku tanpa sebab, atau mengedip-ngedipkan mata orang-orang yang membenci aku tanpa alasan.
20 For indeed, they spoke peacefully to me; and speaking with passion to the earth, they intended deceit.
Karena mereka tidak membicarakan damai, dan terhadap orang-orang yang rukun di negeri mereka merancangkan penipuan,
21 And they opened their mouth wide over me. They said, “Well, well, our eyes have seen.”
mereka membuka mulutnya lebar-lebar terhadap aku dan berkata: "Syukur, syukur, mata kami telah melihatnya!"
22 You have seen, O Lord, do not be silent. Lord, do not depart from me.
Engkau telah melihatnya, TUHAN, janganlah berdiam diri, ya Tuhan, janganlah jauh dari padaku!
23 Rise up and be attentive to my judgment, to my cause, my God and my Lord.
Terjagalah dan bangunlah membela hakku, membela perkaraku, ya Allahku dan Tuhanku!
24 Judge me according to your justice, O Lord, my God, and do not let them be glad over me.
Hakimilah aku sesuai dengan keadilan-Mu, ya TUHAN Allahku, supaya mereka jangan bersukacita atasku!
25 Do not let them say in their hearts, “Well, well, to our soul.” Neither let them say, “We have devoured him.”
Janganlah mereka berkata dalam hatinya: "Syukur, itulah keinginan kami!" Dan janganlah mereka berkata: "Kami telah menelannya!"
26 Let them blush and be in awe together, those who congratulate at my misfortunes. Let them be clothed with confusion and awe, who speak great things against me.
Biarlah bersama-sama mendapat malu dan tersipu-sipu orang-orang yang bersukacita atas kemalanganku; biarlah berpakaian malu dan noda orang-orang yang membesarkan dirinya terhadap aku!
27 Let them exult and rejoice, who wish my justice, and let them ever say, “The Lord be magnified,” who will the peace of his servant.
Biarlah bersorak-sorai dan bersukacita orang-orang yang ingin melihat aku dibenarkan! Biarlah mereka tetap berkata: "TUHAN itu besar, Dia menginginkan keselamatan hamba-Nya!"
28 And so my tongue will express your justice: your praise all day long.
Dan lidahku akan menyebut-nyebut keadilan-Mu, memuji-muji Engkau sepanjang hari.
