< Psalms 5 >
1 For the music director. A psalm of David, to be accompanied by flutes. Lord, please listen to me. Don't ignore my groans of distress.
Untuk pemimpin biduan. Dengan permainan suling. Mazmur Daud. Berilah telinga kepada perkataanku, ya TUHAN, indahkanlah keluh kesahku.
2 Hear me pleading for help, my King and my God, because I'm praying to you.
Perhatikanlah teriakku minta tolong, ya Rajaku dan Allahku, sebab kepada-Mulah aku berdoa.
3 Please listen to what I have to say in the morning, Lord. Every morning I put my requests to you and wait for your reply.
TUHAN, pada waktu pagi Engkau mendengar seruanku, pada waktu pagi aku mengatur persembahan bagi-Mu, dan aku menunggu-nunggu.
4 For you are not a God who has any pleasure in wickedness; evil has no place with you.
Sebab Engkau bukanlah Allah yang berkenan kepada kefasikan; orang jahat takkan menumpang pada-Mu.
5 The proud cannot come into your presence; you hate everyone who does evil.
Pembual tidak akan tahan di depan mata-Mu; Engkau membenci semua orang yang melakukan kejahatan.
6 You destroy those who tell lies. The Lord loathes bloodthirsty and deceptive people.
Engkau membinasakan orang-orang yang berkata bohong, TUHAN jijik melihat penumpah darah dan penipu.
7 But because of the greatness of your trustworthy love, I can come into your house; in awe of you I bow down towards your holy Temple.
Tetapi aku, berkat kasih setia-Mu yang besar, aku akan masuk ke dalam rumah-Mu, sujud menyembah ke arah bait-Mu yang kudus dengan takut akan Engkau.
8 Lead me, Lord, you who always does what is right, save me from my enemies. Make your way clear to me.
TUHAN, tuntunlah aku dalam keadilan-Mu karena seteruku; ratakanlah jalan-Mu di depanku.
9 Nothing they say can be trusted; their main desire is to destroy. Their throat is like an open grave; their tongues are full of flattery.
Sebab perkataan mereka tidak ada yang jujur, batin mereka penuh kebusukan, kerongkongan mereka seperti kubur ternganga, lidah mereka merayu-rayu.
10 God, condemn them as guilty! Make them fall because of their evil plans. Throw them out because of all their sins, for they have rebelled against you.
Biarlah mereka menanggung kesalahan mereka, ya Allah, biarlah mereka jatuh karena rancangannya sendiri; buanglah mereka karena banyaknya pelanggaran mereka, sebab mereka memberontak terhadap Engkau.
11 But may all those who trust in you be happy—may they sing for joy forever. May you spread your protection over them so that everyone who loves your character may celebrate.
Tetapi semua orang yang berlindung pada-Mu akan bersukacita, mereka akan bersorak-sorai selama-lamanya, karena Engkau menaungi mereka; dan karena Engkau akan bersukaria orang-orang yang mengasihi nama-Mu.
12 For you, Lord, bless those who live right; you protect them with your shield of love.
Sebab Engkaulah yang memberkati orang benar, ya TUHAN; Engkau memagari dia dengan anugerah-Mu seperti perisai.
