< Mazmur 62 >
1 Untuk pemimpin biduan. Menurut: Yedutun. Mazmur Daud. Hanya dekat Allah saja aku tenang, dari pada-Nyalah keselamatanku.
God is the only one who can give me peace in my inner being, and he is the one who saves me [from my enemies].
2 Hanya Dialah gunung batuku dan keselamatanku, kota bentengku, aku tidak akan goyah.
Only he is like an [overhanging] rock [under which I can be safe] [MET]; he will be [like] a shelter, [with the result that] I will never be defeated [MET].
3 Berapa lamakah kamu hendak menyerbu seseorang, hendak meremukkan dia, hai kamu sekalian, seperti terhadap dinding yang miring, terhadap tembok yang hendak roboh?
When will you, [my enemies], stop attacking me [RHQ]? I feel that I am [as useless against you as] a wall that is about to fall over or a broken-down fence [MET].
4 Mereka hanya bermaksud menghempaskan dia dari kedudukannya yang tinggi; mereka suka kepada dusta; dengan mulutnya mereka memberkati, tetapi dalam hatinya mereka mengutuki. (Sela)
My enemies plan to remove me from my important position so that people no longer honor me. They delight in telling lies. They bless people by what they say [MTY], but in their inner beings they curse [those people].
5 Hanya pada Allah saja kiranya aku tenang, sebab dari pada-Nyalah harapanku.
God is the only one who gives me peace in my inner being; he is the one whom I confidently expect [to help me].
6 Hanya Dialah gunung batuku dan keselamatanku, kota bentengku, aku tidak akan goyah.
Only he is [like an overhanging] rock [under which I can be safe] [MET]; he is [like] a shelter, and [as a result] I will never be defeated.
7 Pada Allah ada keselamatanku dan kemuliaanku; gunung batu kekuatanku, tempat perlindunganku ialah Allah.
God is the one who saves me and honors me. He is [like an overhanging] strong rock under which I [can] find shelter [MET].
8 Percayalah kepada-Nya setiap waktu, hai umat, curahkanlah isi hatimu di hadapan-Nya; Allah ialah tempat perlindungan kita. (Sela)
[You my] people, always trust in him. Tell him all your troubles, because he is (our refuge/the one who protects us) [MET].
9 Hanya angin saja orang-orang yang hina, suatu dusta saja orang-orang yang mulia. Pada neraca mereka naik ke atas, mereka sekalian lebih ringan dari pada angin.
People who are considered to be unimportant are [as worthless/unreliable as] a breath of air; people who are considered to be important [also] really (amount to nothing/cannot be trusted [to help us)]. If you put them all on a scale, [it would be as if] they weighed less than a puff of air.
10 Janganlah percaya kepada pemerasan, janganlah menaruh harap yang sia-sia kepada perampasan; apabila harta makin bertambah, janganlah hatimu melekat padanya.
Do not trust in money gained by extorting it from others; do not try to gain anything by robbing others. If you become very wealthy, do not trust in [IDM] your money.
11 Satu kali Allah berfirman, dua hal yang aku dengar: bahwa kuasa dari Allah asalnya,
I have heard God say more than once that he is the one who [really] has power,
12 dan dari pada-Mu juga kasih setia, ya Tuhan; sebab Engkau membalas setiap orang menurut perbuatannya.
and that he is the one who faithfully loves [us]. He rewards every one [of us] according to the deeds that we do.
