< Mga Awit 7 >
1 Oh Panginoon kong Dios, sa iyo nanganganlong ako. Iligtas mo ako sa lahat na nagsisihabol sa akin, at palayain mo ako:
A meditation by David, which he sang to the LORD, concerning the words of Cush, the Benjamite. LORD, my God, I take refuge in you. Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,
2 Baka lurayin nila na gaya ng leon ang aking kaluluwa, na lurayin ito, habang walang magligtas.
lest they tear apart my soul like a lion, ripping it in pieces, while there is no one to deliver.
3 Oh Panginoon kong Dios, kung ginawa ko ito; kung may kasamaan sa aking mga kamay;
LORD, my God, if I have done this, if there is iniquity in my hands,
4 Kung ako'y gumanti ng kasamaan sa kaniya na may kapayapaan sa akin; (Oo, aking pinawalan siya, na walang anomang kadahilanan ay naging aking kaaway: )
if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me (yes, I have plundered him who without cause was my adversary),
5 Habulin ng kaaway ang aking kaluluwa, at abutan; Oo, yapakan niya ang aking kaluluwa sa lupa, at ilagay ang aking kaluwalhatian sa alabok. (Selah)
let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; yes, let him tread my life down to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. (Selah)
6 Ikaw ay bumangon, Oh Panginoon, sa iyong galit, magpakataas ka laban sa poot ng aking mga kaaway; at gumising ka dahil sa akin; ikaw ay nagutos ng kahatulan.
Arise, LORD, in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries. Awake for me. You have commanded judgment.
7 At ligirin ka ng kapisanan ng mga bayan sa palibot: at sila'y pihitan mong nasa mataas ka.
Let the congregation of the peoples surround you. Rule over them on high.
8 Ang panginoo'y nangangasiwa ng kahatulan sa mga bayan: iyong hatulan ako, Oh Panginoon, ayon sa aking katuwiran, at sa aking pagtatapat na nasa akin.
The LORD administers judgment to the peoples. Judge me, LORD, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.
9 Oh wakasan ang kasamaan ng masama, nguni't itatag mo ang matuwid; sapagka't sinubok ng matuwid na Dios ang mga pagiisip at ang mga puso.
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; their minds and hearts are searched by the righteous God.
10 Ang aking kalasag ay sa Dios. na nagliligtas ng matuwid sa puso.
My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.
11 Ang Dios ay matuwid na hukom, Oo, Dios na may galit araw-araw.
God is a righteous judge, yes, a God who has indignation every day.
12 Kung ang tao ay hindi magbalik-loob, kaniyang ihahasa ang kaniyang tabak; kaniyang iniakma ang kaniyang busog, at inihanda.
If a man doesn’t repent, he will sharpen his sword; he has bent and strung his bow.
13 Inihanda rin naman niya ang mga kasangkapan ng kamatayan; kaniyang pinapagniningas ang kaniyang mga pana.
He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death. He makes ready his flaming arrows.
14 Narito, siya'y nagdaramdam ng kasamaan; Oo, siya'y naglihi ng kasamaan, at nanganak ng kabulaanan.
Behold, he travails with iniquity. Yes, he has conceived mischief, and brought out falsehood.
15 Siya'y gumawa ng balon, at hinukay, at nahulog sa hukay na kaniyang ginawa.
He has dug a hole, and has fallen into the pit which he made.
16 Ang kaniyang gawang masama ay magbabalik sa kaniyang sariling ulo, at ang kaniyang pangdadahas ay babagsak sa kaniyang sariling bunbunan.
The trouble he causes shall return to his own head. His violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.
17 Ako'y magpapasalamat sa Panginoon, ayon sa kaniyang katuwiran: at aawit ng pagpupuri sa pangalan ng Panginoon na Kataastaasan.
I will give thanks to the LORD according to his righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
