Psalms 36
1 For the music director. A psalm of David, servant of the Lord. Evil speaks to the wicked, deep down in their minds, for in their eyes they have no need to respect God.
Untuk pemimpin kor. Dari Daud, hamba TUHAN.
2 In their own eyes they're so wonderful that they can't even see their sin and do something about it.
Ia menganggap dirinya sangat hebat, sehingga tidak menyadari kesalahannya, dan tidak membencinya.
3 Whatever they say is deceptive and deceitful. They no longer do anything wisely or for good.
Kata-katanya jahat dan penuh tipu daya, ia tidak lagi melakukan yang baik dan bijaksana.
4 Even when they're lying in bed they think up evil schemes. They commit themselves to a way of life that is no good. They choose evil, and don't reject it.
Di tempat tidur ia merencanakan kejahatan; perbuatannya tak ada yang baik, yang jahat tidak ditolaknya.
5 Lord, your faithful love reaches to the heavens, your trustworthiness to the clouds.
TUHAN, kasih-Mu setinggi langit, dan kesetiaan-Mu sampai ke awan.
6 Your goodness is like the highest mountains, your fairness is like the deepest oceans. Lord, you save both the people and the animals.
Kebaikan-Mu menjulang setinggi gunung, dan keadilan-Mu sedalam samudra; manusia dan hewan Kaupelihara, ya TUHAN.
7 God, how priceless is your trustworthy love! Everyone can find protection under the shelter of your wings.
Betapa berharga kasih-Mu, ya Allah, manusia berlindung dalam naungan sayap-Mu.
8 They gain strength from the wonderful food you provide in your house; you give them drink from your refreshing river.
Mereka puas dengan makanan berlimpah di Rumah-Mu, dengan minuman dari sungai-Mu yang menyegarkan.
9 You are the source of life; you are the light by which we see.
Engkaulah sumber hidup semua makhluk, dalam terang-Mu kami melihat terang.
10 Extend your trustworthy love to those who know you, and your goodness to those who truly live right.
Semoga Engkau tetap mengasihi orang yang mengenal Engkau, dan berbuat baik kepada orang yang tulus hati.
11 Don't let the arrogant trample me down; don't let the wicked drive me out.
Jangan biarkan aku diserang orang congkak, atau diusir oleh orang jahat.
12 Now look! See how those who do evil have fallen—thrown down, unable to get up.
Lihatlah, orang yang melakukan kejahatan sudah jatuh, mereka terpelanting dan tak dapat bangun lagi.
