¹In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.

¹Pada waktu itu orang akan menyanyikan nyanyian ini di tanah Yehuda: "Alangkah kuatnya kota kita; Allah sendiri membangun benteng-Nya, di sini kita selamat.

²Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.

²Bukalah pintu-pintu gerbang, supaya masuk bangsa yang setia, bangsa yang melakukan kehendak Allahnya.

³Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

³TUHAN, Engkau memberi damai dan sejahtera kepada orang yang teguh hatinya, sebab ia percaya kepada-Mu.

⁴Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:

⁴Percayalah kepada TUHAN senantiasa, sebab TUHAN Allah selalu melindungi kita.

⁵For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust.

⁵TUHAN merendahkan orang yang congkak; Ia menghancurkan kota berkubu mereka, dan meratakannya dengan tanah.

⁶The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.

⁶Orang-orang miskin dan sengsara akan menginjak-injaknya."

⁷The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.

⁷Orang jujur berjalan di jalan lurus, sebab Engkau, TUHAN, merintis jalan baginya.

⁸Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.

⁸Kami mengikuti keputusan-Mu, ya TUHAN, dan menanti-nantikan Engkau; Engkaulah pujian dan kerinduan hati kami.

⁹With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

⁹Jiwaku merindukan Dikau di waktu malam, hatiku mendambakan Engkau di waktu pagi. Bila Engkau menghakimi bumi nanti, penduduk dunia akan mengetahui apa yang benar.

¹⁰Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.

¹⁰Biarpun orang jahat diperlakukan dengan baik, ia tidak juga belajar apa yang benar. Di negara hukum pun ia berlaku curang, dan tak mau mengakui kuasa TUHAN.

¹¹LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them.

¹¹TUHAN, Engkau siap menghukum musuh-Mu, tetapi mereka tidak mengetahuinya. Biarlah mereka malu tersipu-sipu melihat kasih-Mu bagi umat-Mu. Biarlah mereka habis musnah oleh hukuman yang Kausediakan bagi mereka.

¹²LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us.

¹²TUHAN, Engkau akan membuat kami sejahtera; segala yang kami kerjakan, Engkaulah yang melakukannya bagi kami.

¹³O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name.

¹³Kami pernah dikuasai oleh tuan-tuan lain, tetapi hanya Engkau yang kami akui, ya TUHAN Allah kami!

¹⁴They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.

¹⁴Mereka sudah mati dan tak akan hidup lagi, arwahnya tak akan bangkit kembali. Sebab mereka sudah habis Kaubinasakan dan Kauhapus dari ingatan.

¹⁵Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the earth.

¹⁵Engkau telah melipatgandakan kami umat-Mu, ya TUHAN, dan meluaskan wilayah kami, karena itu Engkau diagungkan.

¹⁶LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them.

¹⁶Engkau telah menghukum kami; dalam kesesakan kami berpaling kepada-Mu, dan berdoa kepada-Mu, TUHAN.

¹⁷Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O LORD.

¹⁷Seperti wanita yang hendak melahirkan menggeliat dan berteriak kesakitan, demikianlah kami di hadapan-Mu, TUHAN.

¹⁸We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.

¹⁸Kami mengandung dan menggeliat kesakitan, tetapi tidak melahirkan apa-apa; kami tidak memberi keselamatan kepada dunia, tidak juga menambah penduduknya.

¹⁹Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.

¹⁹Umat-Mu yang sudah mati akan hidup kembali, mayat-mayat mereka akan bangkit lagi. Orang yang sudah dikubur di dalam tanah akan bangkit dan bersorak-sorai. Seperti embun yang menyegarkan bumi, Engkau menghidupkan umat-Mu yang sudah lama mati.

²⁰Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.

²⁰Masuklah ke dalam rumahmu, hai bangsaku, lalu tutuplah pintu. Bersembunyilah untuk sementara waktu sampai kemarahan TUHAN sudah reda.

²¹For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

²¹TUHAN akan turun dari tempat kediaman-Nya di surga untuk menghukum penduduk bumi karena dosa mereka. Pembunuhan yang mereka lakukan dengan sembunyi-sembunyi akan disingkapkan. Tanah tidak lagi menutupi orang-orang yang mati dibunuh.
