Mazmur 7
1 Ratapan Daud, yang dinyanyikan bagi TUHAN karena Kus, orang Benyamin itu. Ya TUHAN Allahku, aku berlindung pada-Mu; selamatkanlah dan lepaskanlah aku dari semua orang yang mengejar aku.
The psalm of David which he sung to the Lord for the words of Chusi the son of Jemini. O Lord my God, in thee have I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.
2 Jangan biarkan mereka seperti singa menerkam dan menyeret aku dan tak ada pertolongan bagiku.
Lest at any time he seize upon my soul like a lion, while there is no one to redeem me, nor to save.
3 Ya TUHAN Allahku, sekiranya aku berlaku curang, berbuat jahat terhadap kawan, atau merugikan lawan tanpa alasan, sekiranya aku berbuat demikian,
O Lord my God, if I have done this thing, if there be iniquity in my hands:
If I have rendered to them that repaid me evils, let me deservedly fall empty before my enemies.
5 biarlah aku dikejar dan ditangkap musuh, lalu dibunuh dan ditinggalkan di tanah.
Let the enemy pursue my soul, and take it, and tread down my life on the earth, and bring down my glory to the dust.
6 Bangkitlah dalam kemarahan-Mu, ya TUHAN, lawanlah amukan musuh-musuhku. Bangkitlah untuk menolong aku, sebab Engkau menuntut keadilan.
Rise up, O Lord, in thy anger: and be thou exalted in the borders of my enemies. And arise, O Lord my God, in the precept which thou hast commanded:
7 Himpunlah bangsa-bangsa di sekeliling-Mu, dan berkuasalah atas mereka dari takhta-Mu di surga.
And a congregation of people shall surround thee. And for their sakes return thou on high.
8 Engkau menghakimi umat manusia; berilah aku keadilan, ya TUHAN, sebab aku tidak bersalah.
The Lord judgeth the people. Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice, and according to my innocence in me.
9 Hentikanlah kejahatan orang durhaka dan teguhkanlah hati orang baik, sebab Engkau Allah yang adil, yang menyelami hati dan pikiran manusia.
The wickedness of sinners shall be brought to nought: and thou shalt direct the just: the searcher of hearts and reins is God.
10 Pelindungku ialah Allah yang menyelamatkan orang yang tulus hati.
Just is my help from the Lord: who saveth the upright of heart.
11 Allah adalah hakim yang adil, yang setiap saat menghukum orang jahat.
God is a just judge, strong and patient: is he angry every day?
12 Kalau kelakuan mereka tidak berubah, Ia siap dengan senjata yang mematikan. Ia mengasah pedangnya dan merentangkan busurnya, lalu membidikkan panah-panah-Nya yang berapi.
Except you will be converted, he will brandish his sword: he hath bent his bow and made it ready.
And in it he hath prepared the instruments of death, he hath made ready his arrows for them that burn.
14 Lihatlah, orang jahat merencanakan kejahatan; ia membuat rencana jahat dan melakukan penipuan.
Behold he hath been in labour with injustice; he hath conceived sorrow, and brought forth iniquity.
15 Ia menggali lubang untuk orang lain, tetapi ia sendiri jatuh ke dalamnya.
He hath opened a pit and dug it; and he is fallen into the hole he made.
16 Jadi ia dihukum oleh kejahatannya sendiri, dan disiksa oleh kekerasannya sendiri.
His sorrow shall be turned on his own head: and his iniquity shall comedown upon his crown.
17 Aku bersyukur kepada TUHAN sebab Ia adil, kunyanyikan pujian bagi TUHAN, Yang Mahatinggi.
I will give glory to the Lord according to his justice: and will sing to the name of the Lord the most high.
