< Mazmur 5 >
1 Untuk pemimpin kor. Dengan permainan suling. Mazmur Daud. Ya TUHAN, dengarlah kata-kataku, perhatikanlah keluh-kesahku.
For the Chief Musician, with the flutes. A Psalm by David. Give ear to my words, LORD. Consider my (meditation)
2 Indahkanlah seruanku dan tolonglah aku, ya Rajaku dan Allahku.
Listen to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for I pray to you.
3 Sebab kepada-Mu aku berdoa, ya TUHAN, dengarlah seruanku di waktu pagi. Pagi-pagi kubawa persembahanku dan kunantikan jawaban-Mu, ya TUHAN.
LORD, in the morning you will hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly.
4 Engkau Allah yang tak suka akan kejahatan; orang jahat tak boleh bertamu pada-Mu.
For you are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil can’t live with you.
5 Engkau tak tahan melihat orang congkak, Kaubenci orang yang berbuat jahat.
The arrogant will not stand in your sight. You hate all workers of iniquity.
6 Kaubinasakan orang-orang yang suka membohong, penipu dan pembunuh Kaupandang rendah.
You will destroy those who speak lies. The LORD abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
7 Tetapi karena kasih-Mu yang besar, aku boleh masuk ke dalam Rumah-Mu. Kusujud ke arah Rumah-Mu yang suci, dan kusembah Engkau dengan khidmat.
But as for me, in the abundance of your loving kindness I will come into your house. I will bow toward your holy temple in reverence of you.
8 Ya TUHAN, amat banyaklah musuhku! Bimbinglah aku untuk melakukan kehendak-Mu, dan tunjukkanlah jalan-Mu yang harus kutempuh.
Lead me, LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before my face.
9 Sebab perkataan musuhku tak dapat dipercaya; hati mereka penuh rencana jahat. Kata-kata mereka manis memikat, tetapi batin mereka penuh kebusukan.
For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb. They flatter with their tongue.
10 Hukumlah mereka, ya Allah, biar mereka celaka karena rencananya sendiri. Usirlah mereka karena banyaklah dosa mereka, sebab mereka telah berontak terhadap Engkau.
Hold them guilty, God. Let them fall by their own counsels. Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against you.
11 Semoga semua orang yang berlindung pada-Mu bergembira dan bersorak-sorai selama-lamanya. Lindungilah orang-orang yang mencintai Engkau, supaya mereka bersukacita karena Engkau.
But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice. Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. Let them also who love your name be joyful in you.
12 Sebab Kauberkati orang yang setia kepada-Mu, Kaulindungi mereka dengan kasih-Mu.
For you will bless the righteous. LORD, you will surround him with favor as with a shield.
