Psalms 56
1 God, be merciful to me because men have harassed me; all day my enemies pursue me.
Untuk pemimpin kor. Menurut lagu: Merpati yang membisu, dari daerah yang jauh. Mazmur Daud ketika orang Filistin menangkap dia di Gat. Kasihanilah aku, ya Allah, sebab aku diserang, terus-menerus aku ditindas musuh-musuhku.
2 My enemies harass me all day long; there are many of them who proudly attack me.
Sepanjang hari aku diinjak-injak lawanku; banyaklah yang memusuhi aku, ya Allah Yang Mahatinggi.
3 But whenever I am afraid, I trust in you.
Waktu aku takut, aku berharap kepada-Mu.
4 God, I praise/thank you because you do what you have promised; I trust in you, and then I am not afraid. Ordinary humans certainly cannot [RHQ] harm me!
Aku memuji Allah karena apa yang Ia janjikan; aku percaya kepada-Nya, maka aku tak takut, manusia tidak berdaya terhadapku.
5 All day long my enemies claim that I said things that I did not say (OR, try to destroy what I am doing); they are always thinking of ways to harm me.
Sepanjang hari musuh mengacaukan perkaraku, terus-menerus mereka berusaha mencelakakan aku.
6 In order to cause trouble for me, they hide and watch everything that I do, waiting for [an opportunity] to kill me [MTY].
Mereka bergerombol di tempat tersembunyi, mengamat-amati segala yang kulakukan, dan mencari kesempatan untuk membunuh aku.
7 So, God, punish them for the wicked things that they are doing; show that you are angry by defeating those people!
Adakah keselamatan bagi kejahatan mereka? Binasakanlah mereka dalam kemarahan-Mu, ya Allah!
8 You have counted [all] the times that I have been wandering alone/distressed; [it is as though] you have put [all] my tears in a bottle [in order that you can see how much I have cried]. [You have counted my tears and written] the number in your book.
Engkau menghitung hari-hari pengembaraanku, dan tahu jumlah air mataku; tidakkah Engkau memperhitungkannya?
9 When I call out to you, [my] God, my enemies will be defeated; I know that will happen, because you are fighting for me.
Pada hari aku berseru kepada-Mu, musuh akan dipukul mundur, sebab aku tahu Allah memihak aku.
10 I praise/thank you that you do what you have promised; Yahweh, I [will always] praise you for that [DOU].
Aku memuji TUHAN Allah, karena apa yang Ia janjikan.
11 I trust in you, and as a result, I will not be afraid. I know that humans cannot really [RHQ] harm me!
Aku percaya kepada-Nya, maka aku tak takut, manusia tidak berdaya terhadapku.
12 I will bring to you the offering that I promised; I will bring an offering to you to thank you,
Aku akan menepati janjiku kepada-Mu, ya Allah, dan mempersembahkan kurban syukur kepada-Mu.
13 because you have rescued me from being killed; you have kept me from stumbling. As a result, I will continue to live in your presence in the light that [shines on those who are still] alive (OR, in the light that [enables people to] live).
Sebab Engkau meluputkan aku dari maut, Kaujaga aku supaya tidak jatuh. Maka aku boleh hidup dalam perlindungan Allah, dalam cahaya yang menerangi semua yang hidup.
