Psalms 76

1 Unto the end. With Praises. A Psalm of Asaph. A Canticle to the Assyrians. In Judea, God is known. In Israel, his name is great.

Untuk pemimpin kor. Dengan iringan kecapi. Mazmur Asaf. Nyanyian. Allah terkenal di Yehuda; nama-Nya termasyhur di Israel.

2 And his place has been formed with peace. And his dwelling place is in Zion.

Yerusalem adalah tempat kediaman-Nya; Bukit Sion tempat tinggal-Nya.

3 In that place, he has broken the powers of the bows, the shield, the sword, and the battle.

Di sana Ia menghancurkan semua alat perang, semua panah berkilat, perisai dan pedang.

4 You illuminate wondrously from the mountains of eternity.

Sungguh agunglah Engkau, dan cemerlang, melebihi gunung-gunung purbakala.

5 All the foolish of heart have been disturbed. They have slept their sleep, and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.

Orang-orang yang berani sudah dirampasi; mereka tertidur dan tak akan bangun lagi. Prajurit-prajurit yang gagah perkasa sudah kehilangan kekuatannya.

6 At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, those who were mounted on horseback have fallen asleep.

Semua kuda dan pengendaranya jatuh mati oleh hardik-Mu, ya Allah Yakub!

7 You are terrible, and so, who can withstand you? From thence is your wrath.

Sungguh dahsyatlah Engkau! Jika Engkau marah, siapa dapat bertahan?

8 You have caused judgment to be heard from heaven. The earth trembled and was quieted,

Dari langit Engkau menyatakan keputusan-Mu; bumi takut dan diam.

9 when God rose up in judgment in order to bring salvation to all the meek of the earth.

Ketika Engkau bangkit hendak mengadili untuk menyelamatkan orang tertindas di bumi.

10 For the thinking of man will confess to you, and the legacy of his thinking will keep a feast day to you.

Orang-orang yang paling buas pun memuji Engkau, dan yang masih marah memakai kain karung tanda berkabung.

11 Make vows and pay them to the Lord, your God. All you who surround him bring gifts: to him who is terrible,

Tepatilah janjimu kepada TUHAN Allahmu. Hendaklah semua bangsa yang tinggal dekat membawa persembahan bagi Allah yang ditakuti.

12 even to him who takes away the spirit of leaders, to him who is terrible with the kings of the earth.

Ia mematahkan semangat para penguasa; raja-raja merasa gentar terhadap-Nya.
