Psalms 31
1 Yahweh, I have come to you to be protected; do not allow me to be [defeated, with the result that I am] disgraced. Since you always do what is fair/right, rescue me!
Untuk pemimpin kor. Mazmur Daud. Pada-Mu aku berlindung ya TUHAN, jangan biarkan aku dikecewakan. Selamatkanlah aku demi keadilan-Mu
2 Listen to me, and save me right now! Be [like] a huge rock [under which I can hide] [MET] and [like] a strong fort in which I will be safe.
dengarlah aku dan bebaskanlah aku segera. Jadilah bagiku seperti gunung batu tempat aku berlindung, seperti benteng yang kuat, di mana aku selamat.
3 Yes, you are [like] my huge rock and my fort; guide me and lead me [DOU] in order that I can honor you [MTY].
Ya, Engkau seperti gunung batu dan benteng yang kuat bagiku! Bimbinglah aku sesuai dengan janji-Mu.
4 You are the one who protects me, so keep me from falling into the hidden traps [that my enemies have set for me].
Lepaskanlah aku dari jerat yang dipasang bagiku, sebab Engkaulah tempat aku berlindung.
5 Yahweh, you are a God who can be trusted, so I put myself into your care because you rescued me.
Ke dalam tangan-Mu kuserahkan diriku; Engkau membebaskan aku, ya TUHAN, Allah yang setia.
6 Yahweh, I hate those who worship useless idols, but I trust in you.
Orang yang menyembah berhala Kaubenci; tetapi aku percaya kepada TUHAN.
7 I will be very glad [DOU] because you faithfully love me. You see me when I have been afflicted, and you have known when I have had troubles.
Aku akan bergembira dan bersukaria sebab Engkau tetap mengasihi aku. Engkau melihat penderitaanku dan memperhatikan kesusahanku.
8 You have not allowed my enemies to capture me; instead, you have rescued me from danger.
Engkau tidak membiarkan aku ditawan musuh, tetapi memungkinkan aku berjalan dengan bebas.
9 [But now], Yahweh, be kind to me [again] because I am distressed. Because I cry [so much], I cannot see well, and I am completely exhausted.
Kasihanilah aku, ya TUHAN, sebab aku dalam kesusahan; mataku pedih karena menangis, jiwa ragaku merana.
10 I have become very weak because I am [so] miserable, and it is causing my life to become shorter. I have become weak because of all my troubles; even my bones are becoming weaker.
Hidupku habis dalam penderitaan, tahun-tahunku berlalu dalam keluh kesah. Kekuatanku berkurang karena kejahatanku, bahkan tulang-tulangku menjadi rapuh.
11 All of my enemies make fun of me, and [even] my neighbors despise me. [Even] my friends are afraid of me [because they think I am being punished by God], and when they see me on the streets, they run away.
Aku menjadi tertawaan bagi semua musuhku, bahkan bagi para tetanggaku. Semua kenalanku terkejut bila melihat aku, mereka lari bila bertemu dengan aku di jalan.
12 People have forgotten me like they forget people who are dead. [They think I am as useless] as a broken pot.
Aku dilupakan seperti orang mati, dan menjadi seperti barang yang dibuang.
13 I have heard people slandering me, and they have caused me to become terrified. My enemies are making plans in order to kill me.
Di mana-mana ada kengerian; kudengar desas-desus musuhku. Mereka bersekongkol melawan aku, dan membuat rencana untuk membunuh aku.
14 But Yahweh, I trust in you. You are my God.
Tetapi aku berharap pada-Mu, ya TUHAN, sebab Engkaulah Allahku.
15 My whole life [MTY] is in your hands; save me from my enemies, from those who pursue me.
Engkau selalu memelihara aku; selamatkanlah aku dari musuh-musuhku, dan dari orang-orang yang mengejar aku.
16 Be kind to me and rescue me because you always faithfully love me.
Semoga Engkau berkenan kepada hamba-Mu; selamatkanlah aku karena kasih-Mu.
17 Yahweh, I call out to you, so do not allow me to be disgraced. I desire that wicked people will be disgraced; I want them to [soon die and] go down to the place where the dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Jangan biarkan aku mendapat malu, ya TUHAN, sebab aku berseru kepada-Mu. Biarlah orang jahat dipermalukan, dan dengan diam turun ke dunia orang mati. (Sheol h7585)
18 I desire that you will cause people [MTY] who tell lies to be unable to speak. Do that to people who are proud and those who arrogantly accuse righteous people.
Sumbatlah mulut para pembohong yang dengan sombong mencemooh orang jujur.
19 You have stored up many blessings for those who revere you. You do those good things for those who go to you to be protected; everyone sees you doing that.
Betapa limpahnya kebaikan-Mu yang Kausediakan bagi orang takwa! Setiap orang melihat kebaikan yang Kaulakukan, bagi mereka yang berlindung pada-Mu.
20 You hide people in your presence where it is safe, and protect them from people who plot [to kill them]. You hide them in safe places from their enemies [MTY] who accuse/insult them.
Engkau menyembunyikan mereka dalam naungan-Mu terhadap siasat orang jahat; Kaujagai mereka dalam perlindungan-Mu terhadap tuduhan lawan.
21 Praise Yahweh! When my enemies surrounded the city [in which I was living], he showed me in a wonderful way that he faithfully loves me.
Terpujilah TUHAN! Sangat mengagumkan kasih-Nya bagiku, waktu aku dikepung dan diserang.
22 I was afraid, and I cried out, “I have been separated from Yahweh!” but you heard me and answered my cry for help.
Dalam kebingunganku aku menyangka TUHAN telah membuang aku dari hadirat-Nya. Tetapi Ia telah mendengar permohonanku waktu aku berseru kepada-Nya.
23 You people who belong to Yahweh, love him! Those who are loyal to him, he protects, but those who are very proud, he punishes them severely like they deserve to be punished.
Cintailah TUHAN, hai seluruh umat-Nya, TUHAN melindungi orang yang setia. Tetapi orang congkak dihukum-Nya dengan tidak tanggung-tanggung.
24 You who confidently expect Yahweh [to do great things for you], be strong, be courageous!
Kuatkanlah dan teguhkan hatimu, kamu semua yang berharap kepada TUHAN!
