Mazmur 102
1 Doa orang sengsara yang dalam keadaan letih lesu mengeluh kepada TUHAN. Ya TUHAN, dengarlah doaku, biarlah seruanku sampai kepada-Mu.
A Prayer of the man who is in trouble, when he is overcome, and puts his grief before the Lord. Give ear to my prayer, O Lord, and let my cry come to you.
2 Jangan berpaling daripadaku bila aku dalam kesusahan. Dengarlah bila aku berseru, dan jawablah aku segera.
Let not your face be veiled from me in the day of my trouble; give ear to me, and let my cry be answered quickly.
3 Hidupku menghilang seperti asap; tulang-tulangku membara seperti api.
My days are wasted like smoke, and my bones are burned up as in a fire.
4 Aku lesu seperti rumput kering, dan kehilangan nafsu makan.
My heart is broken; it has become dry and dead like grass, so that I give no thought to food.
5 Aku mengerang dengan nyaring; badanku tinggal kulit pembungkus tulang.
Because of the voice of my sorrow, my flesh is wasted to the bone.
6 Aku seperti burung undan di padang gurun, seperti burung hantu di reruntuhan yang sepi.
I am like a bird living by itself in the waste places; like the night-bird in a waste of sand.
7 Aku tak bisa tidur, seperti burung yang kesepian di atap rumah.
I keep watch like a bird by itself on the house-top.
8 Sepanjang hari musuh menghina aku; namaku dijadikan kutuk oleh orang yang marah kepadaku.
My haters say evil of me all day; those who are violent against me make use of my name as a curse.
9 Aku makan abu seperti roti, minumanku bercampur air mata,
I have had dust for bread and my drink has been mixed with weeping:
10 sebab Engkau telah mengangkat dan melemparkan aku dalam kemarahan-Mu yang menyala-nyala.
Because of your passion and your wrath, for I have been lifted up and then made low by you.
11 Hidupku berlalu seperti bayangan di waktu petang; aku menjadi layu seperti rumput.
My days are like a shade which is stretched out; I am dry like the grass.
12 Tapi Engkau, ya TUHAN, Raja untuk selama-lamanya, tetap diingat turun-temurun.
But you, O Lord, are eternal; and your name will never come to an end.
13 Engkau akan bangkit dan mengasihani Sion, saatnya sudah tiba untuk berbelaskasihan kepadanya.
You will again get up and have mercy on Zion: for the time has come for her to be comforted.
14 Sebab hamba-hamba-Mu mencintai dia, biarpun ia sudah menjadi reruntuhan. Mereka merasa kasihan kepadanya, walaupun ia sudah menjadi debu.
For your servants take pleasure in her stones, looking with love on her dust.
15 Kuasa TUHAN akan ditakuti oleh bangsa-bangsa; dan keagungan-Nya disegani oleh semua raja,
So the nations will give honour to the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth will be in fear of his glory:
16 apabila TUHAN membangun Sion kembali, dan tampil dalam keagungan-Nya.
When the Lord has put up the walls of Zion, and has been been in his glory;
17 Ia akan mendengar doa umat-Nya yang melarat, dan tidak menolak permohonan mereka.
When he has given ear to the prayer of the poor, and has not put his request on one side.
18 Tulislah semua perbuatan TUHAN untuk angkatan yang akan datang, supaya bangsa yang belum dilahirkan dapat memuji Dia.
This will be put in writing for the coming generation, and the people of the future will give praise to the Lord.
19 TUHAN memandang dari tempat-Nya yang tinggi, dari surga Ia menengok ke bumi
For from his holy place the Lord has seen, looking down on the earth from heaven;
20 untuk mendengar keluh-kesah orang tahanan dan membebaskan orang yang dihukum mati.
Hearing the cry of the prisoner, making free those for whom death is ordered;
21 Maka nama-Nya akan diwartakan di Sion, dan Ia akan dipuji-puji di Yerusalem,
So that they may give out the name of the Lord in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;
22 waktu bangsa-bangsa dan kerajaan-kerajaan berhimpun untuk berbakti kepada TUHAN.
When the peoples are come together, and the kingdoms, to give worship to the Lord.
23 TUHAN mematahkan kekuatanku waktu aku masih muda, dan memperpendek umurku.
He has taken my strength from me in the way; he has made short my days.
24 Lalu aku berkata, "Ya Allah jangan mengambil nyawaku di pertengahan hidupku." TUHAN, Engkau hidup selama-lamanya,
I will say, O my God, take me not away before my time; your years go on through all generations:
25 dahulu Engkau menjadikan bumi; langit pun karya tangan-Mu.
In the past you put the earth on its base, and the heavens are the work of your hands.
26 Semua itu akan lenyap, tetapi Engkau tetap ada; semua itu akan usang seperti pakaian. Engkau membuangnya seperti baju tua, lalu semuanya akan musnah.
They will come to an end, but you will still go on; they all will become old like a coat, and like a robe they will be changed:
27 Tetapi Engkau tetap sama, hidup-Mu tak akan berakhir.
But you are the unchanging One, and your years will have no end.
28 Anak cucu kami akan hidup dengan tentram, dan selalu aman dalam perlindungan-Mu.
The children of your servants will have a safe resting-place, and their seed will be ever before you.
