Mazmur 17
1 Doa Daud. Dengarkanlah, TUHAN, perkara yang benar, perhatikanlah seruanku; berilah telinga akan doaku, dari bibir yang tidak menipu.
Yahweh, listen to me while I plead with you to act justly toward me. Hear me while I call out to you to help me. Pay attention to what I say while I pray because I am speaking [MTY] honestly/truthfully.
2 Dari pada-Mulah kiranya datang penghakiman: mata-Mu kiranya melihat apa yang benar.
You are the one who is able to declare that I (am innocent/have not done anything that was wrong) because you see/know that I am telling the truth.
3 Bila Engkau menguji hatiku, memeriksanya pada waktu malam, dan menyelidiki aku, maka Engkau tidak akan menemui sesuatu kejahatan; mulutku tidak terlanjur.
You know what I think, [even] at night; you have examined what I say and do, and you know that I have determined to never tell any lies.
4 Tentang perbuatan manusia, sesuai dengan firman yang Engkau ucapkan, aku telah menjaga diriku terhadap jalan orang-orang yang melakukan kekerasan;
I have not done like others do; I have always done what is right [IDM], and I have not acted cruelly toward others.
5 langkahku tetap mengikuti jejak-Mu, kakiku tidak goyang.
I have always done what you told me to do [IDM], I have (never failed to do/always done) [LIT] those things.
6 Aku berseru kepada-Mu, karena Engkau menjawab aku, ya Allah; sendengkanlah telinga-Mu kepadaku, dengarkanlah perkataanku.
O God, I pray to you because you answer me; please listen [MTY] to what I am saying.
7 Tunjukkanlah kasih setia-Mu yang ajaib, ya Engkau, yang menyelamatkan orang-orang yang berlindung pada tangan kanan-Mu terhadap pemberontak.
Show me that you faithfully love me. By your great power [MTY] rescue those who (run to/trust in) you to protect them from their enemies.
8 Peliharalah aku seperti biji mata, sembunyikanlah aku dalam naungan sayap-Mu
Protect me as people carefully protect their own eyes; protect me like [birds] protect [their babies] under their wings [MET].
9 terhadap orang-orang fasik yang menggagahi aku, terhadap musuh nyawaku yang mengepung aku.
Do not allow wicked people to attack me; my enemies surround me, wanting to kill me.
10 Mereka tidak menunjukkan belas kasihan, mereka membual;
They never pity [IDM] anyone, and they are always boasting.
11 mereka mengikuti langkah-langkahku, mereka sekarang mengerumuni aku, mata mereka diarahkan untuk menghempaskan aku ke bumi.
They have hunted/searched for me and found me. They surround me, watching for an opportunity to throw me to the ground.
12 Rupa mereka seperti singa, yang bernafsu untuk menerkam, seperti singa muda, yang mengendap di tempat yang tersembunyi.
They are like lions [SIM] that are ready to tear apart the animals that they capture; they are like young lions that are hiding, waiting to pounce [on their prey].
13 Bangunlah, TUHAN, hadapilah mereka, rebahkanlah mereka, luputkanlah aku dengan pedang-Mu dari pada orang fasik.
Yahweh, come and (oppose/fight against) my enemies and defeat them! Use your sword to save me from those wicked people!
14 Luputkanlah aku, ya TUHAN, dengan tangan-Mu, dari orang-orang dunia ini yang bagiannya adalah dalam hidup ini; biarlah perut mereka dikenyangkan dengan apa yang Engkau simpan, sehingga anak-anak mereka menjadi puas, dan sisanya mereka tinggalkan untuk bayi-bayi mereka.
Yahweh, by your power [MTY] rescue me from those people who are interested [only] in things here in this world. But you provide plenty of food for those whom you love dearly; their children also have many things that their grandchildren will inherit.
15 Tetapi aku, dalam kebenaran akan kupandang wajah-Mu, dan pada waktu bangun aku akan menjadi puas dengan rupa-Mu.
Yahweh, because I act righteously, I will [some day] see you [SYN]. When I awake, I will see you face-to-face, and then I will be happy.
