< Psalms 108 >
1 Song of a Psalm by David. O God, my heart is ready, my heart is ready; I will sing and sing psalms with my glory.
Nyanyian. Mazmur Daud. Hatiku siap, ya Allah, aku mau menyanyi, aku mau bermazmur. Bangunlah, hai jiwaku,
2 Awake, lute and harp; I will awake early.
bangunlah, hai gambus dan kecapi, aku mau membangunkan fajar.
3 I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the people; I will sing praise to you among the Gentiles.
Aku mau bersyukur kepada-Mu di antara bangsa-bangsa, ya TUHAN, dan aku mau bermazmur bagi-Mu di antara suku-suku bangsa;
4 For your mercy is great above the heavens, and your truth [reaches] to the clouds.
sebab kasih-Mu besar mengatasi langit, dan setia-Mu sampai ke awan-awan.
5 Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens; and your glory above all the earth.
Tinggikanlah diri-Mu mengatasi langit, ya Allah, dan biarlah kemuliaan-Mu mengatasi seluruh bumi.
6 That your beloved [ones] may be delivered, save with your right hand, and hear me. God has spoken in his sanctuary;
Supaya terluput orang-orang yang Kaucintai, selamatkanlah dengan tangan kanan-Mu dan jawablah aku!
7 I will be exalted, and will divide Sicima, and will measure out the valley of tents.
Allah telah berfirman di tempat kudus-Nya: "Aku hendak beria-ria, Aku hendak membagi-bagikan Sikhem, dan lembah Sukot hendak Kuukur.
8 Galaad is mine; and Manasses is mine; and Ephraim is the help of mine head; Judas is my king;
Gilead punya-Ku, Manasye punya-Ku, Efraim ialah pelindung kepala-Ku, Yehuda ialah tongkat kerajaan-Ku,
9 Moab is the caldron of my hope; over Idumea will I cast my sandal; the Philistines are made subject to me.
Moab ialah tempat pembasuhan-Ku, kepada Edom Aku melemparkan kasut-Ku, dan karena Filistea Aku bersorak-sorai."
10 Who will bring me into the fortified city? or who will guide me to Idumea?
Siapakah yang akan membawa aku ke kota yang berkubu? Siapakah yang menuntun aku ke Edom?
11 Will not you, O God, who have rejected us? and will not you, O God, go forth with our hosts?
Bukankah Engkau, ya Allah, yang telah membuang kami, dan yang tidak maju, ya Allah, bersama-sama bala tentara kami?
12 Give us help from tribulation: for vain is the help of man.
Berikanlah kepada kami pertolongan terhadap lawan, sebab sia-sia penyelamatan dari manusia.
13 Through God we shall do valiantly; and he will bring to nothing our enemies.
Dengan Allah akan kita lakukan perbuatan-perbuatan gagah perkasa, sebab Ia sendiri akan menginjak-injak para lawan kita.
