< Psalms 76 >

1 People in Judah know God; the Israeli people honor him [MTY].
Untuk pemimpin kor. Dengan iringan kecapi. Mazmur Asaf. Nyanyian. Allah terkenal di Yehuda; nama-Nya termasyhur di Israel.
2 His home is in Jerusalem; he lives on Zion [Hill].
Yerusalem adalah tempat kediaman-Nya; Bukit Sion tempat tinggal-Nya.
3 There he broke the flaming arrows [that his enemies shot], [and he also broke] their shields and swords and other weapons that they used in battles.
Di sana Ia menghancurkan semua alat perang, semua panah berkilat, perisai dan pedang.
4 God, you are glorious! You are like a king [as you return from] the mountains [where you defeated your enemies].
Sungguh agunglah Engkau, dan cemerlang, melebihi gunung-gunung purbakala.
5 Their brave soldiers [were killed, and then those who killed them] took away everything that those soldiers had. Those enemies died [EUP], [so] they were unable to use their weapons [any more]!
Orang-orang yang berani sudah dirampasi; mereka tertidur dan tak akan bangun lagi. Prajurit-prajurit yang gagah perkasa sudah kehilangan kekuatannya.
6 When you, the God whom Jacob [worshiped], rebuked [your enemies], [the result was that their] horses and their riders fell down dead.
Semua kuda dan pengendaranya jatuh mati oleh hardik-Mu, ya Allah Yakub!
7 But you cause everyone to be afraid. When you are angry [and you punish people], no one can [RHQ] endure it.
Sungguh dahsyatlah Engkau! Jika Engkau marah, siapa dapat bertahan?
8 From heaven you proclaimed that you would judge people, [and then everyone on] the earth was afraid and did not say [anything more],
Dari langit Engkau menyatakan keputusan-Mu; bumi takut dan diam.
9 when you arose to declare that you would punish [wicked people] and rescue all those whom they had oppressed.
Ketika Engkau bangkit hendak mengadili untuk menyelamatkan orang tertindas di bumi.
10 When [you punish those] with whom you are angry, your people will praise you, and [your enemies] who (survive/are not killed) will worship you on your festival days.
Orang-orang yang paling buas pun memuji Engkau, dan yang masih marah memakai kain karung tanda berkabung.
11 [So] give to Yahweh the offerings that you promised to give to him; all the people of nearby people-groups should also bring gifts to him, the one who is awesome.
Tepatilah janjimu kepada TUHAN Allahmu. Hendaklah semua bangsa yang tinggal dekat membawa persembahan bagi Allah yang ditakuti.
12 He humbles [IDM] princes, and [even] causes [great] kings to be terrified.
Ia mematahkan semangat para penguasa; raja-raja merasa gentar terhadap-Nya.
