Psalms 76

1 For the end, among the Hymns, a Psalm for Asaph; a Song for the Assyrian. God is known in Judea: his name is great in Israel.

Untuk pemimpin kor. Dengan iringan kecapi. Mazmur Asaf. Nyanyian. Allah terkenal di Yehuda; nama-Nya termasyhur di Israel.

2 And his place has been in peace, and his dwelling-place in Sion.

Yerusalem adalah tempat kediaman-Nya; Bukit Sion tempat tinggal-Nya.

3 There he broke the power of the bows, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Pause)

Di sana Ia menghancurkan semua alat perang, semua panah berkilat, perisai dan pedang.

4 You do wonderfully shine forth from the everlasting mountains.

Sungguh agunglah Engkau, dan cemerlang, melebihi gunung-gunung purbakala.

5 All the simple ones in heart were troubled; all the men of wealth have slept their sleep, and have found nothing in their hands.

Orang-orang yang berani sudah dirampasi; mereka tertidur dan tak akan bangun lagi. Prajurit-prajurit yang gagah perkasa sudah kehilangan kekuatannya.

6 At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, the riders on horses slumbered.

Semua kuda dan pengendaranya jatuh mati oleh hardik-Mu, ya Allah Yakub!

7 You are terrible; and who shall withstand you, because of your anger?

Sungguh dahsyatlah Engkau! Jika Engkau marah, siapa dapat bertahan?

8 You did cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,

Dari langit Engkau menyatakan keputusan-Mu; bumi takut dan diam.

9 when God arose to judgment, to save all the meek in heart. (Pause)

Ketika Engkau bangkit hendak mengadili untuk menyelamatkan orang tertindas di bumi.

10 For the inward thought of man shall give thanks to you: and the memorial of his inward thought shall keep a feast to you.

Orang-orang yang paling buas pun memuji Engkau, dan yang masih marah memakai kain karung tanda berkabung.

11 Vow, and pay [your vows] to the Lord our God; all that are round about him shall bring gifts, [even] to him that is terrible,

Tepatilah janjimu kepada TUHAN Allahmu. Hendaklah semua bangsa yang tinggal dekat membawa persembahan bagi Allah yang ditakuti.

12 and that takes away the spirits of princes; to him that is terrible among the kings of the earth.

Ia mematahkan semangat para penguasa; raja-raja merasa gentar terhadap-Nya.
