Mazmur 72
1 Dari Salomo. Ya Allah, berikanlah hukum-Mu kepada raja dan keadilan-Mu kepada putera raja!
For Solomon. O God, give your judgement to the king, and your righteousness to the king's son;
2 Kiranya ia mengadili umat-Mu dengan keadilan dan orang-orang-Mu yang tertindas dengan hukum!
[that he may] judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with judgement.
3 Kiranya gunung-gunung membawa damai sejahtera bagi bangsa, dan bukit-bukit membawa kebenaran!
Let the mountains and the hills raise peace to your people:
4 Kiranya ia memberi keadilan kepada orang-orang yang tertindas dari bangsa itu, menolong orang-orang miskin, tetapi meremukkan pemeras-pemeras!
he shall judge the poor of the people in righteousness, and save the children of the needy; and shall bring low the false accuser.
5 Kiranya lanjut umurnya selama ada matahari, dan selama ada bulan, turun-temurun!
And he shall continue as long as the sun, and before the moon for ever.
6 Kiranya ia seperti hujan yang turun ke atas padang rumput, seperti dirus hujan yang menggenangi bumi!
He shall come down as rain upon a fleece; and as drops falling upon the earth.
7 Kiranya keadilan berkembang dalam zamannya dan damai sejahtera berlimpah, sampai tidak ada lagi bulan!
In his days shall righteousness spring up; and abundance of peace till the moon be removed.
8 Kiranya ia memerintah dari laut ke laut, dari sungai Efrat sampai ke ujung bumi!
And he shall have dominion from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.
9 Kiranya penghuni padang belantara berlutut di depannya, dan musuh-musuhnya menjilat debu;
The Ethiopians shall fall down before him; and 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 Tharsis, and the isles, shall bring presents: the kings of the Arabians and Saba shall offer gifts.
11 Kiranya semua raja sujud menyembah kepadanya, dan segala bangsa menjadi hambanya!
And all kings shall worship him; all the Gentiles 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 has delivered the poor from the oppressor; and the needy who had no helper.
13 ia akan sayang kepada orang lemah dan orang miskin, ia akan menyelamatkan nyawa orang miskin.
He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall deliver the souls of the needy.
14 Ia akan menebus nyawa mereka dari penindasan dan kekerasan, darah mereka mahal di matanya.
He shall redeem their souls from usury and injustice: and their name [shall be] precious before him.
15 Hiduplah ia! Kiranya dipersembahkan kepadanya emas Syeba! Kiranya ia didoakan senantiasa, dan diberkati sepanjang hari!
And he shall live, and there shall be given him of the gold of Arabia: and [men] shall pray for him continually; [and] all the day shall they praise him.
16 Biarlah tanaman gandum berlimpah-limpah di negeri, bergelombang di puncak pegunungan; biarlah buahnya mekar bagaikan Libanon, bulir-bulirnya berkembang bagaikan rumput di bumi.
There shall be an establishment on the earth on the tops of the mountains: the fruit thereof shall be exalted above Libanus, and they of the city shall flourish as grass of the earth.
17 Biarlah namanya tetap selama-lamanya, kiranya namanya semakin dikenal selama ada matahari. Kiranya segala bangsa saling memberkati dengan namanya, dan menyebut dia berbahagia.
Let his name be blessed for ever: his name shall endure longer than the sun: and all the tribes of the earth shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.
18 Terpujilah TUHAN, Allah Israel, yang melakukan perbuatan yang ajaib seorang diri!
Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, who alone does wonders.
19 Dan terpujilah kiranya nama-Nya yang mulia selama-lamanya, dan kiranya kemuliaan-Nya memenuhi seluruh bumi. Amin, ya amin.
And blessed is his glorious name for ever, even for ever and ever: and all the earth shall be filled with his glory. So be it, so be it.
20 Sekianlah doa-doa Daud bin Isai.
The hymns of David the son of Jessae are ended.
