Psalms 57
1 [For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A poem by David, when he fled from Saul, in the cave.] Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.
Untuk pemimpin biduan. Menurut lagu: Jangan memusnahkan. Miktam Dari Daud, ketika ia lari dari pada Saul, ke dalam gua. Kasihanilah aku, ya Allah, kasihanilah aku, sebab kepada-Mulah jiwaku berlindung; dalam naungan sayap-Mu aku akan berlindung, sampai berlalu penghancuran itu.
2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who accomplishes my requests for me.
Aku berseru kepada Allah, Yang Mahatinggi, kepada Allah yang menyelesaikannya bagiku.
3 He will send from heaven, and save me, he rebukes the one who is pursuing me. (Selah) God will send out his loving kindness and his truth.
Kiranya Ia mengirim utusan dari sorga dan menyelamatkan aku, mencela orang-orang yang menginjak-injak aku. (Sela) Kiranya Allah mengirim kasih setia dan kebenaran-Nya.
4 My soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
Aku terbaring di tengah-tengah singa yang suka menerkam anak-anak manusia, yang giginya laksana tombak dan panah, dan lidahnya laksana pedang tajam.
5 Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be above all the earth.
Tinggikanlah diri-Mu mengatasi langit, ya Allah! Biarlah kemuliaan-Mu mengatasi seluruh bumi!
6 They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into its midst themselves. (Selah)
Mereka memasang jaring terhadap langkah-langkahku, ditundukkannya jiwaku, mereka menggali lobang di depanku, tetapi mereka sendiri jatuh ke dalamnya. (Sela)
7 My heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.
Hatiku siap, ya Allah, hatiku siap; aku mau menyanyi, aku mau bermazmur.
8 Wake up, my glory. Wake up, psaltery and harp. I will wake up the dawn.
Bangunlah, hai jiwaku, bangunlah, hai gambus dan kecapi, aku mau membangunkan fajar!
9 I will give thanks to you, LORD, among the peoples. I will sing praises to you among the nations.
Aku mau bersyukur kepada-Mu di antara bangsa-bangsa, ya Tuhan, aku mau bermazmur bagi-Mu di antara suku-suku bangsa;
10 For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens, and your truth to the skies.
sebab kasih setia-Mu besar sampai ke langit, dan kebenaran-Mu sampai ke awan-awan.
11 Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.
Tinggikanlah diri-Mu mengatasi langit, ya Allah! Biarlah kemuliaan-Mu mengatasi seluruh bumi!
