Mazmur 35
1 Mazmur Daud. TUHAN, lawanlah orang yang melawan aku, perangilah orang yang memerangi aku.
[A Psalm] of David. Judge you, O Lord, them that injure me, fight against them that fight against me.
2 Ambillah utar-utar dan perisai-Mu, dan bangkitlah menolong aku.
Take hold of shield and buckler, and arise for my help.
3 Angkatlah lembing dan tombak-Mu untuk melawan orang yang mengejar aku. Katakanlah kepadaku bahwa Engkau penyelamatku.
Bring forth a sword, and stop [the way] against them that persecute me: say to my soul, I am your salvation.
4 Biarlah orang yang mau membunuh aku dikalahkan dan dipermalukan. Biarlah orang yang berkomplot melawan aku mundur dengan kebingungan.
Let them that seek my soul be ashamed and confounded: let them that devise evils against me be turned back and put to shame.
5 Biarlah mereka diburu malaikat TUHAN, seperti sekam dihamburkan angin.
Let them be as dust before the wind, and an angel of the Lord afflicting them.
6 Biarlah mereka dikejar malaikat TUHAN di jalan yang gelap dan licin.
Let their way be dark and slippery, and an angel of the Lord persecuting them.
7 Percuma mereka memasang perangkap bagiku atau menggali lubang untuk menangkap aku.
For without cause they have hid for me their destructive snare: without a cause they have reproached my soul.
8 Biarlah mereka ditimpa kebinasaan dengan tidak disangka-sangka. Biarlah mereka tertangkap dalam perangkapnya sendiri lalu jatuh dan binasa.
Let a snare which they know not come upon them; and the gin which they hid take them; and let them fall into the very same snare.
9 Maka aku bersorak-sorak karena TUHAN, hatiku gembira sebab Ia menyelamatkan aku.
But my soul shall exult in the Lord: it shall delight 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, O Lord, who is like to you? delivering the poor out of the hand of them that are stronger than he, yes, the poor and needy one from them that spoil him.
11 Saksi-saksi jahat bangkit melawan aku, dan menuduh aku melakukan hal-hal yang tidak kuketahui.
Unjust witnesses arose, and asked me of things I new not.
12 Kebaikanku mereka balas dengan kejahatan; aku tenggelam dalam keputusasaan.
They rewarded me evil for good, and bereavement to my soul.
13 Waktu mereka sakit, aku sedih dan tidak makan; aku berdoa dengan menundukkan kepala,
But I, when they troubled me, put on sackcloth, and humbled my soul with fasting: and my prayer shall return to my [own] bosom.
14 seperti mendoakan seorang saudara atau seorang sahabat karib. Aku tunduk menangisi mereka, seolah aku berkabung untuk ibuku sendiri.
I behaved agreeably towards them as [if it had been] our neighbor [or] brother: I humbled myself as one mourning and sad of countenance.
15 Tetapi waktu aku susah, mereka senang, dan berkerumun melawan aku. Mereka berjalan terpincang-pincang untuk menghina aku.
Yet they rejoiced against me, and plagues were plentifully brought against me, and I knew [it] not: they were scattered, but repented not.
16 Mereka terus mengolok-olok seorang lumpuh, dan memandang aku dengan benci.
They tempted me, they sneered at me most contemptuously, they gnashed their teeth upon me.
17 Sampai kapan, ya TUHAN, sampai kapan Engkau hanya memandang saja? Selamatkanlah aku dari serangan mereka, luputkanlah nyawaku dari singa-singa itu.
O Lord, when will you look upon me? Deliver my soul from their mischief, mine only-begotten 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 you even in a great congregation: in an abundant people I will praise you.
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 mine enemies without a cause rejoice against me; who hate me for nothing, and wink with their eyes.
20 Bicara mereka tidak ramah; mereka merencanakan penipuan terhadap orang yang hidup rukun.
For to me they spoke peaceably, but imagined deceits in [their] anger.
21 Mereka berteriak-teriak kepadaku dan berkata bahwa mereka sudah melihat perbuatanku.
And they opened wide their mouth upon me; they said Aha, aha, our eyes have seen [it].
22 Tetapi Engkau, TUHAN, telah melihatnya; janganlah berdiam diri, ya TUHAN, janganlah jauh daripadaku.
You have seen [it], O Lord: keep not silence: O Lord, withdraw not [yourself] from me.
23 Bangkitlah membela perkaraku, ya Allahku dan Tuhanku, tolonglah aku!
Awake, O Lord, and attend to my judgment, [even] 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, according to your righteousness, O Lord my God; and let them not rejoice against me.
25 Jangan biarkan mereka berkata dalam hati, "Syukur, kita sudah menghabiskan nyawanya. Keinginan kita sudah terkabul!"
Let them not say in their hearts, Aha, aha, [it is pleasing] to our soul: neither let them say, We have devoured him.
26 Biarlah orang yang senang melihat sengsaraku menjadi bingung dan mendapat malu. Biarlah orang yang menyombongkan diri terhadapku dihina dan dipermalukan.
Let them be confounded and ashamed together that rejoice at my afflictions: let them be clothed with shame and confusion that speak great swelling words 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 that rejoice in my righteousness exult and be glad: and let them say continually, The Lord be magnified, who desire the peace of his servant.
28 Maka aku akan mewartakan keadilan-Mu, dan memuji Engkau sepanjang hari.
And my tongue shall meditate on your righteousness, [and] on your praise all the day.
