Psalms 72
1 A Psalm of Solomon. Give the king Thy judgments, O God, and Thy righteousness unto the king's son;
Dari Salomo. Ya Allah, berikanlah hukum-Mu kepada raja dan keadilan-Mu kepada putera raja!
2 That he may judge Thy people with righteousness, and Thy poor with justice.
Kiranya ia mengadili umat-Mu dengan keadilan dan orang-orang-Mu yang tertindas dengan hukum!
3 Let the mountains bear peace to the people, and the hills, through righteousness.
Kiranya gunung-gunung membawa damai sejahtera bagi bangsa, dan bukit-bukit membawa kebenaran!
4 May he judge the poor of the people, and save the children of the needy, and crush the oppressor.
Kiranya ia memberi keadilan kepada orang-orang yang tertindas dari bangsa itu, menolong orang-orang miskin, tetapi meremukkan pemeras-pemeras!
5 They shall fear Thee while the sun endureth, and so long as the moon, throughout all generations.
Kiranya lanjut umurnya selama ada matahari, dan selama ada bulan, turun-temurun!
6 May he come down like rain upon the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.
Kiranya ia seperti hujan yang turun ke atas padang rumput, seperti dirus hujan yang menggenangi bumi!
7 In his days let the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace, till the moon be no more.
Kiranya keadilan berkembang dalam zamannya dan damai sejahtera berlimpah, sampai tidak ada lagi bulan!
8 May he have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the River unto the ends of the earth.
Kiranya ia memerintah dari laut ke laut, dari sungai Efrat sampai ke ujung bumi!
9 Let them that dwell in the wilderness bow before him; and his enemies lick the dust.
Kiranya penghuni padang belantara berlutut di depannya, dan musuh-musuhnya menjilat debu;
10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
kiranya raja-raja dari Tarsis dan pulau-pulau membawa persembahan-persemb kiranya raja-raja dari Syeba dan Seba menyampaikan upeti!
11 Yea, all kings shall prostrate themselves before him; all nations shall serve him.
Kiranya semua raja sujud menyembah kepadanya, dan segala bangsa menjadi hambanya!
12 For he will deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.
Sebab ia akan melepaskan orang miskin yang berteriak minta tolong, orang yang tertindas, dan orang yang tidak punya penolong;
13 He will have pity on the poor and needy, and the souls of the needy he will save.
ia akan sayang kepada orang lemah dan orang miskin, ia akan menyelamatkan nyawa orang miskin.
14 He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence, and precious will their blood be in his sight;
Ia akan menebus nyawa mereka dari penindasan dan kekerasan, darah mereka mahal di matanya.
15 That they may live, and that he may give them of the gold of Sheba, that they may pray for him continually, yea, bless him all the day.
Hiduplah ia! Kiranya dipersembahkan kepadanya emas Syeba! Kiranya ia didoakan senantiasa, dan diberkati sepanjang hari!
16 May he be as a rich cornfield in the land upon the top of the mountains; may his fruit rustle like Lebanon; and may they blossom out of the city like 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 endure for ever; may his name be continued as long as the sun; may men also bless themselves by him; may all nations call him happy.
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 be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things;
Terpujilah TUHAN, Allah Israel, yang melakukan perbuatan yang ajaib seorang diri!
19 And blessed be His glorious name for ever; and let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen, and Amen.
Dan terpujilah kiranya nama-Nya yang mulia selama-lamanya, dan kiranya kemuliaan-Nya memenuhi seluruh bumi. Amin, ya amin.
20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
Sekianlah doa-doa Daud bin Isai.
