Mazmur 71
1 Pada-Mu aku berlindung, ya TUHAN, jangan biarkan aku dipermalukan.
In You, O YHWH, I have trusted, Do not let me be disappointed for all time.
2 Bebaskanlah aku, sebab Engkau adil, dengarlah dan selamatkan aku.
You deliver me in Your righteousness, And cause me to escape, Incline Your ear to me, and save me.
3 Jadilah bagiku seperti gunung batu tempat aku berdiam, yang mudah kucapai selalu. Sebab Engkau telah memutuskan untuk menyelamatkan aku, Engkaulah tempat aku berlindung dan bernaung.
Be a rock to me—a habitation, To go in continually, You have given command to save me, For You [are] my rock and my bulwark.
4 Ya Allahku, luputkanlah aku dari orang jahat, dari kuasa orang-orang lalim dan kejam.
O my God, cause me to escape From the hand of the wicked, From the hand of the perverse and violent.
5 Sebab Engkaulah harapanku, ya TUHAN, TUHAN, aku percaya kepada-Mu sejak masa mudaku.
For You [are] my hope, O Lord YHWH, My trust from my youth.
6 Selama hidupku aku bertopang pada-Mu; Engkau melindungi aku sejak aku lahir maka aku selalu memuji Engkau.
I have been supported from the womb by You, You cut me out from my mother’s bowels, My praise [is] continually in You.
7 Hidupku menjadi teladan bagi orang banyak, sebab Engkaulah pelindungku yang kuat.
I have been as a wonder to many, And You [are] my strong refuge.
8 Aku selalu memuji Engkau, sepanjang hari kuwartakan keagungan-Mu.
My mouth is filled [with] Your praise, All the day [with] Your beauty.
9 Janganlah Kaubuang aku di masa tuaku jangan tinggalkan aku bila kekuatanku sudah habis,
Do not cast me off at the time of old age, Do not forsake me according to the consumption of my power.
10 sebab musuh-musuhku membicarakan aku, orang-orang yang mau membunuh aku berkomplot.
For my enemies have spoken against me, And those watching my soul have taken counsel together,
11 Kata mereka, "Dia sudah ditinggalkan Allah; mari kita kejar dan kita tangkap dia, sebab tak ada yang menyelamatkan dia."
Saying, “God has forsaken him, Pursue and catch him, for there is no deliverer.”
12 Jangan Engkau jauh dari aku, ya Allah, Allahku, tolonglah aku segera.
O God, do not be far from me, O my God, make haste for my help.
13 Biarlah orang yang menyerang aku dipermalukan dan dilenyapkan. Biarlah orang yang mau mencelakakan aku kebingungan dan diliputi kehinaan.
They are ashamed, they are consumed, Who are opposing my soul, They are covered [with] reproach and blushing, Who are seeking my evil,
14 Tapi aku selalu berharap pada-Mu, dan semakin banyak memuji Engkau.
And I continually wait with hope, And have added to all Your praise.
15 Sepanjang hari akan kukisahkan perbuatan-perbuatan-Mu yang adil, dan keselamatan daripada-Mu yang tak terhitung.
My mouth recounts Your righteousness, All the day Your salvation, For I have not known the numbers.
16 Kupuji perbuatan-Mu yang perkasa, ya TUHAN Allah, kumasyhurkan keadilan-Mu, keadilan-Mu saja.
I come in [the] might of Lord YHWH, I mention Your righteousness—Yours alone.
17 Ya Allah, Engkau mengajar aku sejak masa mudaku, sampai sekarang kukisahkan karya-Mu yang menakjubkan.
God, You have taught me from my youth, And until now I declare Your wonders.
18 Ya Allah, jangan meninggalkan aku, sampai aku tua dan beruban, supaya aku mewartakan kuasa dan keperkasaan-Mu kepada semua keturunan yang akan datang.
And also to old age and grey hairs, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to a generation, Your might to everyone that comes.
19 Ya Allah, keadilan-Mu setinggi langit; besarlah perbuatan-perbuatan-Mu; siapa dapat menyamai Engkau?
And Your righteousness, O God, [is] to the heights, Because You have done great things, O God, who [is] like You?
20 Engkau memberi aku banyak penderitaan yang berat, tetapi Engkau akan memulihkan tenagaku dan membangkitkan aku dari kuburan.
Because You have showed me many and sad distresses, You turn back—You revive me, And from the depths of the earth, You turn back—You bring me up.
21 Engkau akan membuat aku lebih terhormat, dan menghibur aku lagi.
You increase my greatness, And You surround—You comfort me,
22 Aku hendak memuji Engkau dengan gambus, sebab Engkau setia, ya Allahku. Aku mau menyanyikan pujian bagi-Mu dengan kecapi, ya Allah kudus Israel.
I also thank You with a vessel of stringed instrument, Your truth, O my God, I sing to You with a harp, O Holy One of Israel,
23 Aku bersorak dengan penuh sukacita, sambil menyanyikan pujian bagi-Mu. Jiwa ragaku menyanyi dengan ria, sebab Engkau telah menyelamatkan aku.
My lips cry aloud when I sing praise to You, And my soul that You have redeemed,
24 Sepanjang hari akan kuwartakan keadilan-Mu, sebab orang-orang yang mau mencelakakan aku sudah dikalahkan dan dipermalukan.
My tongue also utters Your righteousness all the day, Because ashamed—because confounded, Have been those seeking my evil!
