Psalms 7
1 Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite. O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
Ratapan Daud, yang dinyanyikan bagi TUHAN karena Kus, orang Benyamin itu. Ya TUHAN Allahku, aku berlindung pada-Mu; selamatkanlah dan lepaskanlah aku dari semua orang yang mengejar aku.
2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending [it] in pieces, while [there is] none to deliver.
Jangan biarkan mereka seperti singa menerkam dan menyeret aku dan tak ada pertolongan bagiku.
3 O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
Ya TUHAN Allahku, sekiranya aku berlaku curang, berbuat jahat terhadap kawan, atau merugikan lawan tanpa alasan, sekiranya aku berbuat demikian,
4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy: )
5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take [it; ] yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. (Selah)
biarlah aku dikejar dan ditangkap musuh, lalu dibunuh dan ditinggalkan di tanah.
6 Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me [to] the judgment [that] thou hast commanded.
Bangkitlah dalam kemarahan-Mu, ya TUHAN, lawanlah amukan musuh-musuhku. Bangkitlah untuk menolong aku, sebab Engkau menuntut keadilan.
7 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
Himpunlah bangsa-bangsa di sekeliling-Mu, dan berkuasalah atas mereka dari takhta-Mu di surga.
8 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity [that is] in me.
Engkau menghakimi umat manusia; berilah aku keadilan, ya TUHAN, sebab aku tidak bersalah.
9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
Hentikanlah kejahatan orang durhaka dan teguhkanlah hati orang baik, sebab Engkau Allah yang adil, yang menyelami hati dan pikiran manusia.
10 My defence [is] of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
Pelindungku ialah Allah yang menyelamatkan orang yang tulus hati.
11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry [with the wicked] every day.
Allah adalah hakim yang adil, yang setiap saat menghukum orang jahat.
12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
Kalau kelakuan mereka tidak berubah, Ia siap dengan senjata yang mematikan. Ia mengasah pedangnya dan merentangkan busurnya, lalu membidikkan panah-panah-Nya yang berapi.
13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
Lihatlah, orang jahat merencanakan kejahatan; ia membuat rencana jahat dan melakukan penipuan.
15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch [which] he made.
Ia menggali lubang untuk orang lain, tetapi ia sendiri jatuh ke dalamnya.
16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
Jadi ia dihukum oleh kejahatannya sendiri, dan disiksa oleh kekerasannya sendiri.
17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
Aku bersyukur kepada TUHAN sebab Ia adil, kunyanyikan pujian bagi TUHAN, Yang Mahatinggi.
