< Psalms 33 >

1 Sing, you righteous, in YHWH, [For] praise from upright ones [is] lovely.
Hai orang-orang saleh, bersoraklah gembira karena apa yang telah dilakukan TUHAN; patutlah orang jujur memuji-muji.
2 Give thanks to YHWH with a harp, With stringed instrument of ten strings sing praise to Him,
Bersyukurlah kepada TUHAN dengan kecapi, bernyanyilah bagi-Nya dengan iringan musik.
3 Sing to Him a new song, Play skillfully with shouting.
Nyanyikanlah lagu baru bagi TUHAN, mainkan kecapi baik-baik dan bersoraklah dengan riang!
4 For the word of YHWH [is] upright, And all His work [is] in faithfulness.
Semua perkataan TUHAN dapat dipercaya; Ia setia dalam segala perbuatan-Nya.
5 Loving righteousness and judgment, The earth is full of the kindness of YHWH.
Ia mencintai kejujuran dan keadilan; seluruh bumi penuh dengan kasih-Nya.
6 By the word of YHWH The heavens have been made, And all their host by the breath of His mouth.
TUHAN memberi perintah, maka langit tercipta; matahari, bulan dan bintang dijadikan oleh sabda-Nya.
7 Gathering the waters of the sea as a heap, Putting the depths in treasuries.
Semua air laut dikumpulkan-Nya di suatu tempat, samudra raya ditahan-Nya di dalam bendungan.
8 All the earth is afraid of YHWH, All the inhabitants of the world are afraid of Him.
Biarlah seluruh bumi takut kepada TUHAN dan penduduk dunia menghormati Dia.
9 For He has spoken, and it is, He has commanded, and it stands.
Sebab Ia bersabda, lalu semuanya dijadikan; Ia memberi perintah, maka semuanya ada.
10 YHWH made void the counsel of nations, He disallowed the thoughts of the peoples.
TUHAN menggagalkan rencana bangsa-bangsa, Ia meniadakan niat mereka.
11 The counsel of YHWH stands for all time, The thoughts of His heart from generation to generation.
Tetapi rencana TUHAN tetap bertahan, rancangan-Nya teguh sepanjang zaman.
12 O the blessedness of the nation whose God [is] YHWH, Of the people He chose, For an inheritance to Him.
Berbahagialah bangsa yang mengakui TUHAN sebagai Allahnya, berbahagialah umat yang dipilih-Nya menjadi milik-Nya!
13 YHWH has looked from the heavens, He has seen all the sons of men.
Dari surga TUHAN memandang ke bawah, dan Ia melihat seluruh umat manusia.
14 From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked to all inhabitants of the earth;
Dari takhta-Nya TUHAN mengamati semua yang mendiami bumi.
15 Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending to all their works.
Dialah yang membentuk hati mereka, dan tahu segala perbuatan mereka.
16 The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power.
Raja tidak menang karena besarnya tentara, prajurit tidak selamat karena kekuatannya.
17 A false thing [is] the horse for safety, And he does not deliver By the abundance of his strength.
Kuda tak dapat diandalkan untuk menang, kekuatannya yang besar tak dapat menyelamatkan.
18 Behold, the eye of YHWH [is] to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,
TUHAN menjaga orang-orang yang takwa yang mengharapkan kasih-Nya.
19 To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.
Ia menyelamatkan mereka dari maut, dan menghidupi mereka di masa kelaparan.
20 Our soul has waited for YHWH, He [is] our help and our shield,
Maka kita berharap kepada TUHAN, Dialah penolong dan pembela kita.
21 For our heart rejoices in Him, For we have trusted in His Holy Name.
Kita bersukaria karena Dia dan percaya kepada nama-Nya yang suci.
22 Let Your kindness, O YHWH, be on us, As we have waited for You!
Semoga kami tetap Kaukasihi, ya TUHAN, sebab kami berharap kepada-Mu.
