Mazmur 31
1 Untuk pemimpin kor. Mazmur Daud. Pada-Mu aku berlindung ya TUHAN, jangan biarkan aku dikecewakan. Selamatkanlah aku demi keadilan-Mu
For the end, a Psalm of David, [an utterance] of extreme fear. O Lord, I have hoped in you; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in your righteousness and rescue me.
2 dengarlah aku dan bebaskanlah aku segera. Jadilah bagiku seperti gunung batu tempat aku berlindung, seperti benteng yang kuat, di mana aku selamat.
Incline your ear to me; make haste to rescue me: be you to me for a protecting God, and for a house of refuge to save me.
3 Ya, Engkau seperti gunung batu dan benteng yang kuat bagiku! Bimbinglah aku sesuai dengan janji-Mu.
For you are my strength and my refuge; and you shall guide me for your name's sake, and maintain me.
4 Lepaskanlah aku dari jerat yang dipasang bagiku, sebab Engkaulah tempat aku berlindung.
You shall bring me out of the snare which they have hidden for me; for you, O Lord, are my defender.
5 Ke dalam tangan-Mu kuserahkan diriku; Engkau membebaskan aku, ya TUHAN, Allah yang setia.
Into your hands I will commit my spirit: you have redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.
6 Orang yang menyembah berhala Kaubenci; tetapi aku percaya kepada TUHAN.
You has hated them that idly persist in vanities: but I have hoped in the Lord.
7 Aku akan bergembira dan bersukaria sebab Engkau tetap mengasihi aku. Engkau melihat penderitaanku dan memperhatikan kesusahanku.
I will exult and be glad in your mercy: for you have looked upon mine affliction; you have saved my soul from distresses.
8 Engkau tidak membiarkan aku ditawan musuh, tetapi memungkinkan aku berjalan dengan bebas.
And you have not shut me up into the hands of the enemy: you have set my feet in a wide place.
9 Kasihanilah aku, ya TUHAN, sebab aku dalam kesusahan; mataku pedih karena menangis, jiwa ragaku merana.
Pity me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with indignation, my soul and by belly.
10 Hidupku habis dalam penderitaan, tahun-tahunku berlalu dalam keluh kesah. Kekuatanku berkurang karena kejahatanku, bahkan tulang-tulangku menjadi rapuh.
For my life is spent with grief, and my years with groanings: my strength has been weakened through poverty, and my bones are troubled.
11 Aku menjadi tertawaan bagi semua musuhku, bahkan bagi para tetanggaku. Semua kenalanku terkejut bila melihat aku, mereka lari bila bertemu dengan aku di jalan.
I became a reproach among all mine enemies, but exceedingly so to my neighbors, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that saw me without fled from me.
12 Aku dilupakan seperti orang mati, dan menjadi seperti barang yang dibuang.
I have been forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am become as a broken vessel.
13 Di mana-mana ada kengerian; kudengar desas-desus musuhku. Mereka bersekongkol melawan aku, dan membuat rencana untuk membunuh aku.
For I heard the slander of many that lived round about: when they were gathered together against me, they took counsel to take my life.
14 Tetapi aku berharap pada-Mu, ya TUHAN, sebab Engkaulah Allahku.
But I hoped in you, O Lord: I said, You are my God.
15 Engkau selalu memelihara aku; selamatkanlah aku dari musuh-musuhku, dan dari orang-orang yang mengejar aku.
My lots are in your hands: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies,
16 Semoga Engkau berkenan kepada hamba-Mu; selamatkanlah aku karena kasih-Mu.
and from them that persecute me. Make your face to shine upon your servant: save me in your mercy.
17 Jangan biarkan aku mendapat malu, ya TUHAN, sebab aku berseru kepada-Mu. Biarlah orang jahat dipermalukan, dan dengan diam turun ke dunia orang mati. (Sheol h7585)
O Lord, let me not be ashamed, for I have called upon you: let the ungodly be ashamed, and brought down to Hades. (Sheol h7585)
18 Sumbatlah mulut para pembohong yang dengan sombong mencemooh orang jujur.
Let the deceitful lips become dumb, which speak iniquity against the righteous with pride and scorn.
19 Betapa limpahnya kebaikan-Mu yang Kausediakan bagi orang takwa! Setiap orang melihat kebaikan yang Kaulakukan, bagi mereka yang berlindung pada-Mu.
How abundant is the multitude of your goodness, O Lord, which you have laid up for them that fear you! you have wrought [it] out for them that hope on you, in the presence of the sons of men.
20 Engkau menyembunyikan mereka dalam naungan-Mu terhadap siasat orang jahat; Kaujagai mereka dalam perlindungan-Mu terhadap tuduhan lawan.
You will hide them in the secret of your presence from the vexation of man: you will screen them in a tabernacle from the contradiction of tongues.
21 Terpujilah TUHAN! Sangat mengagumkan kasih-Nya bagiku, waktu aku dikepung dan diserang.
Blessed be the Lord: for he has magnified his mercy in a fortified city.
22 Dalam kebingunganku aku menyangka TUHAN telah membuang aku dari hadirat-Nya. Tetapi Ia telah mendengar permohonanku waktu aku berseru kepada-Nya.
But I said in my extreme fear, I am cast out from the sight of your eyes: therefore you did listen, O Lord, to the voice of my supplication when I cried to you.
23 Cintailah TUHAN, hai seluruh umat-Nya, TUHAN melindungi orang yang setia. Tetapi orang congkak dihukum-Nya dengan tidak tanggung-tanggung.
Love the Lord, all you his saints: for the Lord seeks for truth, and renders [a reward] to them that deal very proudly.
24 Kuatkanlah dan teguhkan hatimu, kamu semua yang berharap kepada TUHAN!
Be of good courage, and let your heart be strengthened, all you that hope in the Lord.
