Mazmur 72
1 Dari Salomo. Ya Allah, berikanlah hukum-Mu kepada raja dan keadilan-Mu kepada putera raja!
By Solomon. God, give the king your justice; your righteousness to the royal son.
2 Kiranya ia mengadili umat-Mu dengan keadilan dan orang-orang-Mu yang tertindas dengan hukum!
He will judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice.
3 Kiranya gunung-gunung membawa damai sejahtera bagi bangsa, dan bukit-bukit membawa kebenaran!
The mountains shall bring prosperity to the people. The hills bring the fruit of righteousness.
4 Kiranya ia memberi keadilan kepada orang-orang yang tertindas dari bangsa itu, menolong orang-orang miskin, tetapi meremukkan pemeras-pemeras!
He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the children of the needy, and will break the oppressor in pieces.
5 Kiranya lanjut umurnya selama ada matahari, dan selama ada bulan, turun-temurun!
They shall fear you while the sun endures; and as long as the moon, throughout all generations.
6 Kiranya ia seperti hujan yang turun ke atas padang rumput, seperti dirus hujan yang menggenangi bumi!
He will come down like rain on the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.
7 Kiranya keadilan berkembang dalam zamannya dan damai sejahtera berlimpah, sampai tidak ada lagi bulan!
In his days, the righteous shall flourish, and abundance of peace, until the moon is no more.
8 Kiranya ia memerintah dari laut ke laut, dari sungai Efrat sampai ke ujung bumi!
He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, from the River to the ends of the earth.
9 Kiranya penghuni padang belantara berlutut di depannya, dan musuh-musuhnya menjilat debu;
Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him. His enemies shall lick the dust.
10 kiranya raja-raja dari Tarsis dan pulau-pulau membawa persembahan-persemb kiranya raja-raja dari Syeba dan Seba menyampaikan upeti!
The kings of Tarshish and of the islands will bring tribute. The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11 Kiranya semua raja sujud menyembah kepadanya, dan segala bangsa menjadi hambanya!
Yes, all kings shall fall down before him. All nations shall serve him.
12 Sebab ia akan melepaskan orang miskin yang berteriak minta tolong, orang yang tertindas, dan orang yang tidak punya penolong;
For he will deliver the needy when he cries; the poor, who has no helper.
13 ia akan sayang kepada orang lemah dan orang miskin, ia akan menyelamatkan nyawa orang miskin.
He will have pity on the poor and needy. He will save the souls of the needy.
14 Ia akan menebus nyawa mereka dari penindasan dan kekerasan, darah mereka mahal di matanya.
He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence. Their blood will be precious in his sight.
15 Hiduplah ia! Kiranya dipersembahkan kepadanya emas Syeba! Kiranya ia didoakan senantiasa, dan diberkati sepanjang hari!
He will live; and Sheba’s gold will be given to him. Men will pray for him continually. They will bless him all day long.
16 Biarlah tanaman gandum berlimpah-limpah di negeri, bergelombang di puncak pegunungan; biarlah buahnya mekar bagaikan Libanon, bulir-bulirnya berkembang bagaikan rumput di bumi.
Abundance of grain shall be throughout the land. Its fruit sways like Lebanon. Let it flourish, thriving like the grass of the field.
17 Biarlah namanya tetap selama-lamanya, kiranya namanya semakin dikenal selama ada matahari. Kiranya segala bangsa saling memberkati dengan namanya, dan menyebut dia berbahagia.
His name endures forever. His name continues as long as the sun. Men shall be blessed by him. All nations will call him blessed.
18 Terpujilah TUHAN, Allah Israel, yang melakukan perbuatan yang ajaib seorang diri!
Praise be to the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.
19 Dan terpujilah kiranya nama-Nya yang mulia selama-lamanya, dan kiranya kemuliaan-Nya memenuhi seluruh bumi. Amin, ya amin.
Blessed be his glorious name forever! Let the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen and amen.
20 Sekianlah doa-doa Daud bin Isai.
This ends the prayers by David, the son of Jesse.
