Mazmur 71
1 Pada-Mu aku berlindung, ya TUHAN, jangan biarkan aku dipermalukan.
In you, Yahweh, I take refuge; let me never be put to shame.
2 Bebaskanlah aku, sebab Engkau adil, dengarlah dan selamatkan aku.
Rescue me and make me safe in your righteousness; turn 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 to me a rock for refuge where I may always go; you have given a command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
4 Ya Allahku, luputkanlah aku dari orang jahat, dari kuasa orang-orang lalim dan kejam.
Rescue me, my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel.
5 Sebab Engkaulah harapanku, ya TUHAN, TUHAN, aku percaya kepada-Mu sejak masa mudaku.
For you are my hope, Lord Yahweh. I have trusted in you ever since I was a child.
6 Selama hidupku aku bertopang pada-Mu; Engkau melindungi aku sejak aku lahir maka aku selalu memuji Engkau.
By you I have been supported from the womb; you are he who took me out of my mother's belly; my praise will be always about you.
7 Hidupku menjadi teladan bagi orang banyak, sebab Engkaulah pelindungku yang kuat.
I am an example to many people; you are my strong refuge.
8 Aku selalu memuji Engkau, sepanjang hari kuwartakan keagungan-Mu.
My mouth will be filled with your praise, all the day with your honor.
9 Janganlah Kaubuang aku di masa tuaku jangan tinggalkan aku bila kekuatanku sudah habis,
Do not throw me away in my time of old age; do not abandon me when my strength fails.
10 sebab musuh-musuhku membicarakan aku, orang-orang yang mau membunuh aku berkomplot.
For my enemies are talking about me; those who watch for my life are plotting together.
11 Kata mereka, "Dia sudah ditinggalkan Allah; mari kita kejar dan kita tangkap dia, sebab tak ada yang menyelamatkan dia."
They say, “God has forsaken him; pursue and take him, for there is no one to save him.”
12 Jangan Engkau jauh dari aku, ya Allah, Allahku, tolonglah aku segera.
God, do not be far from me; my God, hurry to help me.
13 Biarlah orang yang menyerang aku dipermalukan dan dilenyapkan. Biarlah orang yang mau mencelakakan aku kebingungan dan diliputi kehinaan.
Let them be put to shame and destroyed, those who are hostile to my life; let them be covered with rebuke and dishonor, those who seek my hurt.
14 Tapi aku selalu berharap pada-Mu, dan semakin banyak memuji Engkau.
But I will always hope in you and will praise you more and more.
15 Sepanjang hari akan kukisahkan perbuatan-perbuatan-Mu yang adil, dan keselamatan daripada-Mu yang tak terhitung.
My mouth will tell about your righteousness and your salvation all the day, although I cannot understand it.
16 Kupuji perbuatan-Mu yang perkasa, ya TUHAN Allah, kumasyhurkan keadilan-Mu, keadilan-Mu saja.
I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Yahweh; I will make mention of 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; even now I declare your wonderful deeds.
18 Ya Allah, jangan meninggalkan aku, sampai aku tua dan beruban, supaya aku mewartakan kuasa dan keperkasaan-Mu kepada semua keturunan yang akan datang.
Indeed, even when I am old and gray-headed, God, do not forsake me, as I have been declaring your strength to the next generation, your power to everyone who is to come.
19 Ya Allah, keadilan-Mu setinggi langit; besarlah perbuatan-perbuatan-Mu; siapa dapat menyamai Engkau?
Your righteousness also, God, is very high; you who have done great things, God, who is like you?
20 Engkau memberi aku banyak penderitaan yang berat, tetapi Engkau akan memulihkan tenagaku dan membangkitkan aku dari kuburan.
You who made me see many troubles will revive us again and will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.
21 Engkau akan membuat aku lebih terhormat, dan menghibur aku lagi.
May you increase my honor; turn again and 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 will also give thanks to you with the harp for your trustworthiness, my God; to you I will sing praises with the harp, 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 will shout for joy when I sing praises to you— even my soul, which you have redeemed.
24 Sepanjang hari akan kuwartakan keadilan-Mu, sebab orang-orang yang mau mencelakakan aku sudah dikalahkan dan dipermalukan.
My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long; for they have been put to shame and are confused, those who sought my hurt.
