Mazmur 35
1 Mazmur Daud. TUHAN, lawanlah orang yang melawan aku, perangilah orang yang memerangi aku.
For David himself. Judge thou, O Lord, them that wrong me: overthrow them that fight against me.
2 Ambillah utar-utar dan perisai-Mu, dan bangkitlah menolong aku.
Take hold of arms and shield: and rise up to help me.
3 Angkatlah lembing dan tombak-Mu untuk melawan orang yang mengejar aku. Katakanlah kepadaku bahwa Engkau penyelamatku.
Bring out the sword, and shut up the way against them that persecute me: say to my soul: I am thy salvation.
4 Biarlah orang yang mau membunuh aku dikalahkan dan dipermalukan. Biarlah orang yang berkomplot melawan aku mundur dengan kebingungan.
Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek after my soul. Let them be turned back and be confounded that devise against me.
5 Biarlah mereka diburu malaikat TUHAN, seperti sekam dihamburkan angin.
Let them become as dust before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord straiten them.
6 Biarlah mereka dikejar malaikat TUHAN di jalan yang gelap dan licin.
Let their way become dark and slippery; and let the angel of the Lord pursue them.
7 Percuma mereka memasang perangkap bagiku atau menggali lubang untuk menangkap aku.
For without cause they have hidden their net for me unto destruction: without cause they have upbraided my soul.
8 Biarlah mereka ditimpa kebinasaan dengan tidak disangka-sangka. Biarlah mereka tertangkap dalam perangkapnya sendiri lalu jatuh dan binasa.
Let the snare which he knoweth not come upon him: and let the net which he hath hidden catch him: and let the net which he hath hidden catch him: and into that very snare let them fall.
9 Maka aku bersorak-sorak karena TUHAN, hatiku gembira sebab Ia menyelamatkan aku.
But my soul shall rejoice in the Lord; and shall be delighted in his salvation.
10 Dengan segenap hati aku berkata, "TUHAN, Engkau tak ada bandingnya! Engkau melepaskan yang lemah dari yang kuat, yang miskin dan sengsara dari penindasnya."
All my bones shall say: Lord, who is like to thee? Who deliverest the poor from the hand of them that are stronger than he; the needy and the poor from them that strip him.
11 Saksi-saksi jahat bangkit melawan aku, dan menuduh aku melakukan hal-hal yang tidak kuketahui.
Unjust witnesses rising up have asked me things I knew not.
12 Kebaikanku mereka balas dengan kejahatan; aku tenggelam dalam keputusasaan.
They repaid me evil for good: to the depriving me of my soul.
13 Waktu mereka sakit, aku sedih dan tidak makan; aku berdoa dengan menundukkan kepala,
But as for me, when they were troublesome to me, I was clothed with haircloth. I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer shall be turned into my bosom.
14 seperti mendoakan seorang saudara atau seorang sahabat karib. Aku tunduk menangisi mereka, seolah aku berkabung untuk ibuku sendiri.
As a neighbour and as an own brother, so did I please: as one mourning and sorrowful so was I humbled.
15 Tetapi waktu aku susah, mereka senang, dan berkerumun melawan aku. Mereka berjalan terpincang-pincang untuk menghina aku.
But they rejoiced against me, and came together: scourges were gathered together upon me, and I knew not.
16 Mereka terus mengolok-olok seorang lumpuh, dan memandang aku dengan benci.
They were separated, and repented not: they tempted me, they scoffed at me with scorn: they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
17 Sampai kapan, ya TUHAN, sampai kapan Engkau hanya memandang saja? Selamatkanlah aku dari serangan mereka, luputkanlah nyawaku dari singa-singa itu.
Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? rescue thou soul from their malice: my only one from the lions.
18 Maka aku akan bersyukur kepada-Mu di tengah umat-Mu, dan memuji nama-Mu dalam pertemuan mereka.
I will give thanks to thee in a great church; I will praise thee in a strong people.
19 Jangan membiarkan aku dipermainkan oleh orang yang memusuhi aku tanpa sebab. Jangan membiarkan aku disoraki oleh orang yang membenci aku tanpa alasan.
Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: who have hated me without cause, and wink with the eyes.
20 Bicara mereka tidak ramah; mereka merencanakan penipuan terhadap orang yang hidup rukun.
For they spoke indeed peaceably to me; and speaking in the anger of the earth they devised guile.
21 Mereka berteriak-teriak kepadaku dan berkata bahwa mereka sudah melihat perbuatanku.
And they opened their mouth wide against me; they said: Well done, well done, our eyes have seen it.
22 Tetapi Engkau, TUHAN, telah melihatnya; janganlah berdiam diri, ya TUHAN, janganlah jauh daripadaku.
Thou hast seen, O Lord, be not thou silent: O Lord, depart not from me.
23 Bangkitlah membela perkaraku, ya Allahku dan Tuhanku, tolonglah aku!
Arise, and be attentive to my judgment: to my cause, my God, and my Lord.
24 Belalah aku, sebab Engkau adil, ya TUHAN Allahku, jangan biarkan musuh menyoraki aku.
Judge me, O Lord my God according to thy justice, and let them not rejoice over me.
25 Jangan biarkan mereka berkata dalam hati, "Syukur, kita sudah menghabiskan nyawanya. Keinginan kita sudah terkabul!"
Let them not say in their hearts: It is well, it is well, to our mind: neither let them say: We have swallowed him up.
26 Biarlah orang yang senang melihat sengsaraku menjadi bingung dan mendapat malu. Biarlah orang yang menyombongkan diri terhadapku dihina dan dipermalukan.
Let them blush: and be ashamed together, who rejoice at my evils. Let them be clothed with confusion and shame, who speak great things against me.
27 Semoga orang yang ingin melihat aku dibenarkan bersorak dan bergembira. Semoga mereka berulang-ulang berkata, "Sungguh agunglah TUHAN! Ia menginginkan keselamatan hamba-Nya!"
Let them rejoice and be glad, who are well pleased with my justice, and let them say always: The Lord be magnified, who delights in the peace of his servant.
28 Maka aku akan mewartakan keadilan-Mu, dan memuji Engkau sepanjang hari.
Any my tongue shall meditate thy justice, thy praise all the day long.
