Mazmur 56
1 Untuk pemimpin kor. Menurut lagu: Merpati yang membisu, dari daerah yang jauh. Mazmur Daud ketika orang Filistin menangkap dia di Gat. Kasihanilah aku, ya Allah, sebab aku diserang, terus-menerus aku ditindas musuh-musuhku.
For the end, concerning the people that were removed from the sanctuary, by David for a memorial, when the Philistines caught him in Geth. Have mercy upon me, O God; for man has trodden me down; all the day long he warring has afflicted me.
2 Sepanjang hari aku diinjak-injak lawanku; banyaklah yang memusuhi aku, ya Allah Yang Mahatinggi.
Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; for there are many warring against me.
3 Waktu aku takut, aku berharap kepada-Mu.
They shall be afraid, but I will trust in you.
4 Aku memuji Allah karena apa yang Ia janjikan; aku percaya kepada-Nya, maka aku tak takut, manusia tidak berdaya terhadapku.
In God I will praise my words; all the day have I hoped in God; I will not fear what flesh shall do to me.
5 Sepanjang hari musuh mengacaukan perkaraku, terus-menerus mereka berusaha mencelakakan aku.
All the day long they have abominated my words; all their devices [are] against me for evil.
6 Mereka bergerombol di tempat tersembunyi, mengamat-amati segala yang kulakukan, dan mencari kesempatan untuk membunuh aku.
They will dwell near and hide [themselves]; they will watch my steps, accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul.
7 Adakah keselamatan bagi kejahatan mereka? Binasakanlah mereka dalam kemarahan-Mu, ya Allah!
You will on no account save them; you will bring down the people in wrath.
8 Engkau menghitung hari-hari pengembaraanku, dan tahu jumlah air mataku; tidakkah Engkau memperhitungkannya?
O God, I have declared my life to you; you has set my tears before you, even according to your promise.
9 Pada hari aku berseru kepada-Mu, musuh akan dipukul mundur, sebab aku tahu Allah memihak aku.
Mine enemies shall be turned back, in the day wherein I shall call upon you; behold, I know that you are my God.
10 Aku memuji TUHAN Allah, karena apa yang Ia janjikan.
In God, will I praise [his] word; in the Lord will I praise [his] saying.
11 Aku percaya kepada-Nya, maka aku tak takut, manusia tidak berdaya terhadapku.
I have hoped in God; I will not be afraid of what man shall do to me.
12 Aku akan menepati janjiku kepada-Mu, ya Allah, dan mempersembahkan kurban syukur kepada-Mu.
The vows of your praise, O God, which I will pay, are upon me.
13 Sebab Engkau meluputkan aku dari maut, Kaujaga aku supaya tidak jatuh. Maka aku boleh hidup dalam perlindungan Allah, dalam cahaya yang menerangi semua yang hidup.
For you have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from sliding, that I should be well-pleasing before God in the land of the living.
