Psalms 33
1 You righteous people should sing joyfully to Yahweh because that is what he deserves.
Hai orang-orang saleh, bersoraklah gembira karena apa yang telah dilakukan TUHAN; patutlah orang jujur memuji-muji.
2 Praise Yahweh as you play songs on the lyre/harp. Praise him as you play [other] instruments that have many strings.
Bersyukurlah kepada TUHAN dengan kecapi, bernyanyilah bagi-Nya dengan iringan musik.
3 Sing a new song to him; Play those instruments well, and shout joyfully as you play them!
Nyanyikanlah lagu baru bagi TUHAN, mainkan kecapi baik-baik dan bersoraklah dengan riang!
4 Yahweh always does what he says that he will do; we can trust that everything that he does is right.
Semua perkataan TUHAN dapat dipercaya; Ia setia dalam segala perbuatan-Nya.
5 He loves everything that we do that is just and right. People all over the earth can know that Yahweh faithfully loves us.
Ia mencintai kejujuran dan keadilan; seluruh bumi penuh dengan kasih-Nya.
6 Yahweh created everything in the sky by commanding it. By what he said [MTY] he created all the stars.
TUHAN memberi perintah, maka langit tercipta; matahari, bulan dan bintang dijadikan oleh sabda-Nya.
7 He gathered all the water into one huge mass like [someone scoops liquid] into a container.
Semua air laut dikumpulkan-Nya di suatu tempat, samudra raya ditahan-Nya di dalam bendungan.
8 Everyone on the earth should revere Yahweh [DOU].
Biarlah seluruh bumi takut kepada TUHAN dan penduduk dunia menghormati Dia.
9 When he spoke, the world (was created/started to exist). Everything started to exist as a result of him commanding it.
Sebab Ia bersabda, lalu semuanya dijadikan; Ia memberi perintah, maka semuanya ada.
10 Yahweh frustrates the things that the [pagan] nations decide to do. He prevents them from doing the [evil] things that they plan to do.
TUHAN menggagalkan rencana bangsa-bangsa, Ia meniadakan niat mereka.
11 But what Yahweh decides to do will last forever. What he plans to do will never be changed.
Tetapi rencana TUHAN tetap bertahan, rancangan-Nya teguh sepanjang zaman.
12 Yahweh blesses those nations who choose him to be their God; He is pleased with those whom he has chosen to receive what he has promised.
Berbahagialah bangsa yang mengakui TUHAN sebagai Allahnya, berbahagialah umat yang dipilih-Nya menjadi milik-Nya!
13 Yahweh looks down from heaven and sees all us people;
Dari surga TUHAN memandang ke bawah, dan Ia melihat seluruh umat manusia.
14 from where he rules [MTY], he looks down on all the people who live on the earth.
Dari takhta-Nya TUHAN mengamati semua yang mendiami bumi.
15 He formed our inner beings, and he sees everything that we do.
Dialah yang membentuk hati mereka, dan tahu segala perbuatan mereka.
16 It is not because a king has a great army that he is able to win [battles], and it is not because a soldier is very strong that he is able to defeat [his enemy].
Raja tidak menang karena besarnya tentara, prajurit tidak selamat karena kekuatannya.
17 It is foolish to trust that because horses are very strong that they will able to win a battle and save their riders.
Kuda tak dapat diandalkan untuk menang, kekuatannya yang besar tak dapat menyelamatkan.
18 Do not forget that Yahweh watches over those who revere him, those who confidently expect him to faithfully love them.
TUHAN menjaga orang-orang yang takwa yang mengharapkan kasih-Nya.
19 He saves them [SYN] from dying [before they should die] and preserves them when there is a famine.
Ia menyelamatkan mereka dari maut, dan menghidupi mereka di masa kelaparan.
20 We trust that Yahweh will help us; he protects us like a shield protects a soldier [MET].
Maka kita berharap kepada TUHAN, Dialah penolong dan pembela kita.
21 We rejoice because of what he [has done for us]; we trust in him because he [MTY] is holy.
Kita bersukaria karena Dia dan percaya kepada nama-Nya yang suci.
22 Yahweh, we pray that you will always faithfully love us while we confidently expect you [to do great things for us].
Semoga kami tetap Kaukasihi, ya TUHAN, sebab kami berharap kepada-Mu.
