Psalms 72
1 A Psalm according to Solomon.
Dari Salomo. Ya Allah, berikanlah hukum-Mu kepada raja dan keadilan-Mu kepada putera raja!
2 Give your judgment, O God, to the king, and your justice to the king’s son, to judge your people with justice and your poor with judgment.
Kiranya ia mengadili umat-Mu dengan keadilan dan orang-orang-Mu yang tertindas dengan hukum!
3 Let the mountains take up peace for the people, and the hills, justice.
Kiranya gunung-gunung membawa damai sejahtera bagi bangsa, dan bukit-bukit membawa kebenaran!
4 He will judge the poor of the people, and he will bring salvation to the sons of the poor. And he will humble the false accuser.
Kiranya ia memberi keadilan kepada orang-orang yang tertindas dari bangsa itu, menolong orang-orang miskin, tetapi meremukkan pemeras-pemeras!
5 And he will remain, with the sun and before the moon, from generation to generation.
Kiranya lanjut umurnya selama ada matahari, dan selama ada bulan, turun-temurun!
6 He will descend like rain upon fleece, and like showers showering upon the earth.
Kiranya ia seperti hujan yang turun ke atas padang rumput, seperti dirus hujan yang menggenangi bumi!
7 In his days, justice will rise like the sun, with abundance of peace, until the moon is taken away.
Kiranya keadilan berkembang dalam zamannya dan damai sejahtera berlimpah, sampai tidak ada lagi bulan!
8 And he will rule from sea to sea and from the river to the limits of the whole world.
Kiranya ia memerintah dari laut ke laut, dari sungai Efrat sampai ke ujung bumi!
9 In his sight, the Ethiopians will fall prostrate, and his enemies will lick the ground.
Kiranya penghuni padang belantara berlutut di depannya, dan musuh-musuhnya menjilat debu;
10 The kings of Tarshish and the islands will offer gifts. The kings of Arabia and of Seba will bring gifts.
kiranya raja-raja dari Tarsis dan pulau-pulau membawa persembahan-persemb kiranya raja-raja dari Syeba dan Seba menyampaikan upeti!
11 And all the kings of the earth shall adore him. All nations will serve him.
Kiranya semua raja sujud menyembah kepadanya, dan segala bangsa menjadi hambanya!
12 For he will free the poor from the powerful, and the poor one who has no helper.
Sebab ia akan melepaskan orang miskin yang berteriak minta tolong, orang yang tertindas, dan orang yang tidak punya penolong;
13 He will spare the poor and the indigent, and he will bring salvation to the souls of the poor.
ia akan sayang kepada orang lemah dan orang miskin, ia akan menyelamatkan nyawa orang miskin.
14 He will redeem their souls from usuries and from iniquity, and their names shall be honorable in his sight.
Ia akan menebus nyawa mereka dari penindasan dan kekerasan, darah mereka mahal di matanya.
15 And he will live, and to him will be given from the gold of Arabia, and by him they will always adore. They will bless him all day long.
Hiduplah ia! Kiranya dipersembahkan kepadanya emas Syeba! Kiranya ia didoakan senantiasa, dan diberkati sepanjang hari!
16 And there will be a firmament on earth, at the summits of mountains: its fruits will be extolled above Lebanon, and those of the city will flourish like the grass of the earth.
Biarlah tanaman gandum berlimpah-limpah di negeri, bergelombang di puncak pegunungan; biarlah buahnya mekar bagaikan Libanon, bulir-bulirnya berkembang bagaikan rumput di bumi.
17 May his name be blessed forever; may his name remain before the sun. And all the tribes of the earth will be blessed in him. All nations will magnify him.
Biarlah namanya tetap selama-lamanya, kiranya namanya semakin dikenal selama ada matahari. Kiranya segala bangsa saling memberkati dengan namanya, dan menyebut dia berbahagia.
18 Blessed is the Lord, God of Israel, who alone does wondrous things.
Terpujilah TUHAN, Allah Israel, yang melakukan perbuatan yang ajaib seorang diri!
19 And blessed is the name of his majesty in eternity. And all the earth will be filled with his majesty. Amen. Amen.
Dan terpujilah kiranya nama-Nya yang mulia selama-lamanya, dan kiranya kemuliaan-Nya memenuhi seluruh bumi. Amin, ya amin.
20 The praises of David, the son of Jesse, have reached an end.
Sekianlah doa-doa Daud bin Isai.
