< Mazmur 36 >

1 Untuk pemimpin kor. Dari Daud, hamba TUHAN.
Unto the end, for the servant of God, David himself. The unjust hath said within himself, that he would sin: there is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 Ia menganggap dirinya sangat hebat, sehingga tidak menyadari kesalahannya, dan tidak membencinya.
For in his sight he hath done deceitfully, that his iniquity may be found unto hatred.
3 Kata-katanya jahat dan penuh tipu daya, ia tidak lagi melakukan yang baik dan bijaksana.
The words of his mouth are iniquity and guile: he would not understand that he might do well.
4 Di tempat tidur ia merencanakan kejahatan; perbuatannya tak ada yang baik, yang jahat tidak ditolaknya.
He hath devised iniquity on his bed, he hath set himself on every way that is not good: but evil he hath not hated.
5 TUHAN, kasih-Mu setinggi langit, dan kesetiaan-Mu sampai ke awan.
O Lord, thy mercy is in heaven, and thy truth reacheth, even to the clouds.
6 Kebaikan-Mu menjulang setinggi gunung, dan keadilan-Mu sedalam samudra; manusia dan hewan Kaupelihara, ya TUHAN.
Thy justice is as the mountains of God, thy judgments are a great deep. Men and beasts thou wilt preserve, O Lord:
7 Betapa berharga kasih-Mu, ya Allah, manusia berlindung dalam naungan sayap-Mu.
O how hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! But the children of men shall put their trust under the covert of thy wings.
8 Mereka puas dengan makanan berlimpah di Rumah-Mu, dengan minuman dari sungai-Mu yang menyegarkan.
They shall be inebriated with the plenty of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the torrent of thy pleasure.
9 Engkaulah sumber hidup semua makhluk, dalam terang-Mu kami melihat terang.
For with thee is the fountain of life; and in thy light we shall see light.
10 Semoga Engkau tetap mengasihi orang yang mengenal Engkau, dan berbuat baik kepada orang yang tulus hati.
Extend thy mercy to them that know thee, and thy justice to them that are right in heart.
11 Jangan biarkan aku diserang orang congkak, atau diusir oleh orang jahat.
Let not the foot of pride come to me, and let not the hand of the sinner move me.
12 Lihatlah, orang yang melakukan kejahatan sudah jatuh, mereka terpelanting dan tak dapat bangun lagi.
There the workers of iniquity are fallen, they are cast out, and could not stand.
