Mazmur 57
1 Untuk pemimpin kor. Menurut lagu: Jangan memusnahkan. Mazmur dari Daud, ketika ia lari ke dalam gua untuk menghindari Saul. Kasihanilah aku, ya Allah, kasihanilah aku, sebab pada-Mulah aku berlindung. Dalam naungan sayap-Mu aku bersembunyi, sampai badai yang mengamuk berhenti.
For the end. Destroy not: by David, for a memorial, when he fled from the presence of Saul to the cave. Have mercy, upon me, O God, have mercy upon me: for my soul has trusted in you: and in the shadow of your wings will I hope, until the iniquity have passed away.
2 Aku berseru kepada Allah Yang Mahatinggi, kepada Allah yang bertindak untukku.
I will cry to God most high; the God who has benefited me. (Pause)
3 Dari surga Ia menjawab dan menyelamatkan aku; Ia mengalahkan orang-orang yang menindas aku. Allah akan menunjukkan bahwa Ia setia kepadaku, dan selalu mengasihi aku.
He sent from heaven and saved me; he gave to reproach them that trampled on me: God has sent forth his mercy and his truth;
4 Aku dikepung oleh musuh, mereka seperti singa pemakan manusia. Gigi mereka seperti tombak dan panah, lidah mereka seperti pedang yang tajam.
and he has delivered my soul from the midst of [lions']whelps: I lay down to sleep, [though] troubled. [As for] the sons of men, their teeth are arms and [missile] weapons, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5 Ya Allah, tunjukkanlah keagungan-Mu di langit, dan kemuliaan-Mu di seluruh bumi.
Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens; and your glory above all the earth.
6 Musuhku memasang jerat bagiku, dan mematahkan semangatku. Mereka menggali lubang di jalanku, tetapi mereka sendiri jatuh ke dalamnya.
They have prepared snares for my feet, and have bowed down my soul: they have dug a pit before my face, and fallen into it [themselves]. (Pause)
7 Aku percaya teguh, ya Allah, aku percaya teguh, aku mau menyanyi dan memuji-Mu.
My heart, O God, [is] ready, my heart [is] ready: I will sing, yes will sing psalms.
8 Hai bangunlah, jiwaku! Hai bangunlah, gambus dan kecapi! Aku mau membangunkan fajar.
Awake, my glory; awake, lute and harp: I will awake early.
9 TUHAN, aku mau bersyukur kepada-Mu di antara bangsa-bangsa. Kuingin menyanyikan pujian bagi-Mu di antara umat manusia.
O Lord, I will give thanks to you among the nations: I will sing to you among the Gentiles.
10 Sebab kasih-Mu besar sampai ke langit, dan kesetiaan-Mu sampai ke awan-awan.
For your mercy has been magnified even to the heavens, and your truth to the clouds.
11 Ya Allah, tunjukkanlah keagungan-Mu di langit, dan kemuliaan-Mu di seluruh bumi.
Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens; and your glory above all the earth.
