Mazmur 35
1 Dari Daud. Berbantahlah, TUHAN, melawan orang yang berbantah dengan aku, berperanglah melawan orang yang berperang melawan aku!
For David himself. Judge thou, O Lord, them that wrong me: overthrow them that fight against me.
2 Peganglah perisai dan utar-utar, bangunlah menolong aku,
Take hold of arms and shield: and rise up to help me.
3 cabutlah tombak dan kapak menghadapi orang-orang yang mengejar aku; katakanlah kepada jiwaku: "Akulah keselamatanmu!"
Bring out the sword, and shut up the way against them that persecute me: say to my soul: I am thy salvation.
4 Biarlah mendapat malu dan kena noda, orang-orang yang ingin mencabut nyawaku; biarlah mundur dan tersipu-sipu orang-orang yang merancang kecelakaanku!
Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek after my soul. Let them be turned back and be confounded that devise against me.
5 Biarlah mereka seperti sekam dibawa angin, didorong Malaikat TUHAN;
Let them become as dust before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord straiten them.
6 biarlah jalan mereka gelap dan licin, dan Malaikat TUHAN mengejar mereka!
Let their way become dark and slippery; and let the angel of the Lord pursue them.
7 Karena tanpa alasan mereka memasang jaring terhadap aku, tanpa alasan mereka menggali pelubang untuk nyawaku.
For without cause they have hidden their net for me unto destruction: without cause they have upbraided my soul.
8 Biarlah kebinasaan mendatangi dia dengan tidak disangka-sangka, jerat yang dipasangnya, biarlah menangkap dia sendiri, biarlah ia jatuh dan musnah!
Let the snare which he knoweth not come upon him: and let the net which he hath hidden catch him: and let the net which he hath hidden catch him: and into that very snare let them fall.
9 Tetapi aku bersorak-sorak karena TUHAN, aku girang karena keselamatan dari pada-Nya;
But my soul shall rejoice in the Lord; and shall be delighted in his salvation.
10 segala tulangku berkata: "Ya, TUHAN, siapakah yang seperti Engkau, yang melepaskan orang sengsara dari tangan orang yang lebih kuat dari padanya, orang sengsara dan miskin dari tangan orang yang merampasi dia?"
All my bones shall say: Lord, who is like to thee? Who deliverest the poor from the hand of them that are stronger than he; the needy and the poor from them that strip him.
11 Saksi-saksi yang gemar kekerasan bangkit berdiri, apa yang tidak kuketahui, itulah yang mereka tuntut dari padaku.
Unjust witnesses rising up have asked me things I knew not.
12 Mereka membalas kebaikanku dengan kejahatan; perasaan bulus mencekam aku.
They repaid me evil for good: to the depriving me of my soul.
13 Tetapi aku, ketika mereka sakit, aku memakai pakaian kabung; aku menyiksa diriku dengan berpuasa, dan doaku kembali timbul dalam dadaku,
But as for me, when they were troublesome to me, I was clothed with haircloth. I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer shall be turned into my bosom.
14 seolah-olah temanku atau saudarakulah yang sakit, demikianlah aku berlaku; seperti orang yang berkeluh kesah karena kematian ibu, demikianlah aku tunduk dengan pakaian kabung.
As a neighbour and as an own brother, so did I please: as one mourning and sorrowful so was I humbled.
15 Tetapi ketika aku tersandung jatuh, bersukacitalah mereka dan berkerumun, berkerumun melawan aku; orang-orang asing yang tidak kukenal menista aku dengan tidak henti-hentinya;
But they rejoiced against me, and came together: scourges were gathered together upon me, and I knew not.
16 dengan fasik mereka mengolok-olok terus, menggertakkan giginya terhadap aku.
They were separated, and repented not: they tempted me, they scoffed at me with scorn: they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
17 Sampai berapa lama, Tuhan, Engkau memandangi saja? Selamatkanlah jiwaku dari perusakan mereka, nyawaku dari singa-singa muda!
Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? rescue thou soul from their malice: my only one from the lions.
18 Aku mau menyanyikan syukur kepada-Mu dalam jemaah yang besar, di tengah-tengah rakyat yang banyak aku mau memuji-muji Engkau.
I will give thanks to thee in a great church; I will praise thee in a strong people.
19 Janganlah sekali-kali bersukacita atas aku orang-orang yang memusuhi aku tanpa sebab, atau mengedip-ngedipkan mata orang-orang yang membenci aku tanpa alasan.
Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: who have hated me without cause, and wink with the eyes.
20 Karena mereka tidak membicarakan damai, dan terhadap orang-orang yang rukun di negeri mereka merancangkan penipuan,
For they spoke indeed peaceably to me; and speaking in the anger of the earth they devised guile.
21 mereka membuka mulutnya lebar-lebar terhadap aku dan berkata: "Syukur, syukur, mata kami telah melihatnya!"
And they opened their mouth wide against me; they said: Well done, well done, our eyes have seen it.
22 Engkau telah melihatnya, TUHAN, janganlah berdiam diri, ya Tuhan, janganlah jauh dari padaku!
Thou hast seen, O Lord, be not thou silent: O Lord, depart not from me.
23 Terjagalah dan bangunlah membela hakku, membela perkaraku, ya Allahku dan Tuhanku!
Arise, and be attentive to my judgment: to my cause, my God, and my Lord.
24 Hakimilah aku sesuai dengan keadilan-Mu, ya TUHAN Allahku, supaya mereka jangan bersukacita atasku!
Judge me, O Lord my God according to thy justice, and let them not rejoice over me.
25 Janganlah mereka berkata dalam hatinya: "Syukur, itulah keinginan kami!" Dan janganlah mereka berkata: "Kami telah menelannya!"
Let them not say in their hearts: It is well, it is well, to our mind: neither let them say: We have swallowed him up.
26 Biarlah bersama-sama mendapat malu dan tersipu-sipu orang-orang yang bersukacita atas kemalanganku; biarlah berpakaian malu dan noda orang-orang yang membesarkan dirinya terhadap aku!
Let them blush: and be ashamed together, who rejoice at my evils. Let them be clothed with confusion and shame, who speak great things against me.
27 Biarlah bersorak-sorai dan bersukacita orang-orang yang ingin melihat aku dibenarkan! Biarlah mereka tetap berkata: "TUHAN itu besar, Dia menginginkan keselamatan hamba-Nya!"
Let them rejoice and be glad, who are well pleased with my justice, and let them say always: The Lord be magnified, who delights in the peace of his servant.
28 Dan lidahku akan menyebut-nyebut keadilan-Mu, memuji-muji Engkau sepanjang hari.
Any my tongue shall meditate thy justice, thy praise all the day long.
