Mazmur 17
1 Doa Daud. Dengarlah seruanku mohon keadilan, perhatikanlah doaku yang tulus, ya TUHAN.
Yahweh, listen to me while I plead with you to act justly toward me. Hear me while I call out to you to help me. Pay attention to what I say while I pray because I am speaking [MTY] honestly/truthfully.
2 Sudilah membela perkaraku sebab Engkau tahu apa yang benar.
You are the one who is able to declare that I (am innocent/have not done anything that was wrong) because you see/know that I am telling the truth.
3 Bila Engkau menguji hatiku dan datang menyelidiki aku di waktu malam, akan Kaudapati bahwa aku tulus ikhlas; perkataanku sesuai dengan pikiranku.
You know what I think, [even] at night; you have examined what I say and do, and you know that I have determined to never tell any lies.
4 Aku melakukan apa yang Kauperintahkan dan tidak menempuh jalan kekerasan.
I have not done like others do; I have always done what is right [IDM], and I have not acted cruelly toward others.

13 Bangkitlah, ya TUHAN, lawanlah musuhku dan kalahkanlah mereka. Selamatkanlah aku dengan pedang-Mu terhadap serangan orang jahat.
Yahweh, come and (oppose/fight against) my enemies and defeat them! Use your sword to save me from those wicked people!
14 Lepaskanlah aku dari orang-orang yang menimbun harta di dunia. Hukumlah mereka dengan malapetaka yang telah Kausediakan bagi mereka. Biarlah anak cucu mereka dihukum juga.
Yahweh, by your power [MTY] rescue me from those people who are interested [only] in things here in this world. But you provide plenty of food for those whom you love dearly; their children also have many things that their grandchildren will inherit.
15 Tetapi aku akan memandang Engkau, sebab aku tidak bersalah. Pada waktu aku bangun, kehadiran-Mu membuat hatiku gembira.
Yahweh, because I act righteously, I will [some day] see you [SYN]. When I awake, I will see you face-to-face, and then I will be happy.
