Mazmur 72
1 Dari Salomo. Ya Allah, berikanlah hukum-Mu kepada raja dan keadilan-Mu kepada putera raja!
A psalm on Solomon.
2 Kiranya ia mengadili umat-Mu dengan keadilan dan orang-orang-Mu yang tertindas dengan hukum!
Give to the king thy judgment, O God: and to the king’s son thy justice: To judge thy people with justice, and thy poor with judgment.
3 Kiranya gunung-gunung membawa damai sejahtera bagi bangsa, dan bukit-bukit membawa kebenaran!
Let the mountains receive peace for the people: and the hills justice.
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, and he shall save the children of the poor: and he shall humble the oppressor.
5 Kiranya lanjut umurnya selama ada matahari, dan selama ada bulan, turun-temurun!
And he shall continue with the sun, and before the moon, throughout all generations.
6 Kiranya ia seperti hujan yang turun ke atas padang rumput, seperti dirus hujan yang menggenangi bumi!
He shall come down like rain upon the fleece; and as showers falling gently upon the earth.
7 Kiranya keadilan berkembang dalam zamannya dan damai sejahtera berlimpah, sampai tidak ada lagi bulan!
In his days shall justice spring up, and abundance of peace, till the moon be taken sway.
8 Kiranya ia memerintah dari laut ke laut, dari sungai Efrat sampai ke ujung bumi!
And he shall rule from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
9 Kiranya penghuni padang belantara berlutut di depannya, dan musuh-musuhnya menjilat debu;
Before him the Ethiopians shall fall down: and his enemies shall lick the ground.
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 islands shall offer presents: the kings of the Arabians and of Saba shall bring gifts:
11 Kiranya semua raja sujud menyembah kepadanya, dan segala bangsa menjadi hambanya!
And all kings of the earth shall adore 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 shall deliver the poor from the mighty: and the needy that 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 he shall save the souls of the poor.
14 Ia akan menebus nyawa mereka dari penindasan dan kekerasan, darah mereka mahal di matanya.
He shall redeem their souls from usuries and iniquity: and their names shall be honourable in his sight.
15 Hiduplah ia! Kiranya dipersembahkan kepadanya emas Syeba! Kiranya ia didoakan senantiasa, dan diberkati sepanjang hari!
And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Arabia, for him they shall always adore: they shall bless him all the day.
16 Biarlah tanaman gandum berlimpah-limpah di negeri, bergelombang di puncak pegunungan; biarlah buahnya mekar bagaikan Libanon, bulir-bulirnya berkembang bagaikan rumput di bumi.
And there shall be a firmament on the earth on the tops of mountains, above Libanus shall the fruit thereof be exalted: and they of the city shall flourish like the 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 evermore: his name continueth before the sun. And in him shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed: all nations shall magnify him.
18 Terpujilah TUHAN, Allah Israel, yang melakukan perbuatan yang ajaib seorang diri!
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who alone doth wonderful things.
19 Dan terpujilah kiranya nama-Nya yang mulia selama-lamanya, dan kiranya kemuliaan-Nya memenuhi seluruh bumi. Amin, ya amin.
And blessed be the name of his majesty for ever: and the whole earth shall be filled with his majesty. So be it. So be it.
20 Sekianlah doa-doa Daud bin Isai.
The praises of David, the son of Jesse, are ended.
