Mazmur 72
1 Dari Salomo. Ya Allah, ajarkanlah hukum-Mu kepada raja, berikanlah keadilan-Mu kepada putra raja.
“By Solomon.” O God, give unto the king thy decisions, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.
2 Semoga ia menghakimi umat-Mu menurut hukum, dan memperlakukan orang tertindas dengan adil.
He shall decide for thy people with righteousness, and for thy afflicted with justice.
3 Kiranya negeri kami makmur dan sejahtera, dan ada keadilan bagi seluruh bangsa.
The mountains shall bear peace for the people, and the hills [the same], through righteousness.
4 Semoga raja membela hak rakyat jelata, menolong orang-orang miskin dan menumpas penindas-penindas mereka.
He shall judge the afflicted of the people, he shall give help to the children of the needy; but he shall crush the oppressor.
5 Semoga ia tetap bertahan turun-temurun selama ada matahari dan bulan.
They shall fear thee as long as the sun shineth, and in the presence of the moon, throughout all generations.
6 Semoga ia seperti hujan yang turun di padang, seperti hujan deras yang mengairi ladang-ladang.
He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass, as showers which are dropping on the earth.
7 Semoga keadilan berkembang selama zamannya, dan kemakmuran berlimpah selama bulan ada.
In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace [shall be] till the moon shall be no more.
8 Kerajaannya akan meluas dari laut ke laut, membentang dari timur sampai ke barat.
And he shall have dominion from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
9 Penduduk padang gurun akan tunduk kepadanya dan musuh sujud di depan kakinya.
Before him shall bend down those that dwell in the wilderness; and his enemies shall lick the dust.
10 Raja-raja Tarsis dan pulau-pulau akan membawa persembahan kepadanya. Raja-raja Arab dan Etiopia datang membawa upeti.
The kings of Tharshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11 Semua raja akan sujud di hadapannya, segala bangsa menjadi hamba-hambanya.
Yea, there shall bow down before him all kings: all nations shall serve him.
12 Sebab ia melepaskan orang tertindas yang tak berdaya, dan orang miskin yang berseru kepadanya.
For he will deliver the needy when he crieth; the afflicted also, who hath no helper.
13 Ia mengasihani orang miskin dan rakyat jelata, dan menyelamatkan hidup orang yang melarat.
He will spare the poor and needy; and the souls of the needy will he assist.
14 Ia membebaskan mereka dari penindasan dan kekerasan, sebab hidup mereka sangat berharga baginya.
From wrong and violence will he deliver their soul; and precious shall their blood be in his eyes.
15 Hiduplah baginda raja! Semoga kepadanya dipersembahkan emas dari Arab. Semoga ia didoakan setiap waktu dan direstui selalu.
And he shall live; and he will give him of the gold of Sheba: and he will pray in his behalf continually; all the time will he bless him.
16 Semoga gandum melimpah di seluruh negeri, dan bukit-bukitnya penuh dengan hasil bumi. Semoga tanahnya subur seperti Pegunungan Libanon, dan penduduk kotanya bertambah seperti rumput di padang.
There shall be an abundance of corn in the land; upon the top of the mountains its fruit shall shake like [the trees of] Lebanon; and [men] shall blossom out of the city like herbs of the earth.
17 Semoga nama raja dikenang selama-lamanya, dan kemasyhurannya bertambah selama matahari ada. Semoga bangsa-bangsa minta diberkati seperti dia, dan semua orang menyebut dia berbahagia.
His name will endure for ever; in the presence of the sun his name shall flourish: and men shall bless themselves with him: all nations shall call him happy.
18 Terpujilah TUHAN, Allah Israel! Hanya Dia yang melakukan hal-hal yang mengagumkan.
Blessed be the Lord the God, the God of Israel, who alone doth wondrous things.
19 Terpujilah nama-Nya yang agung selama-lamanya; semoga seluruh bumi penuh dengan kemuliaan-Nya! Jadilah demikian. Amin!
And blessed he his glorious name for ever; and with his glory may the whole earth be filled: Amen, and Amen.
