¹O god, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.

¹Mazmur Asaf. Ya Allah, bangsa yang tidak mengenal Engkau sudah menduduki tanah pusaka-Mu. Mereka menajiskan Rumah-Mu, Yerusalem dijadikan reruntuhan.

²The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.

²Mayat hamba-hamba-Mu mereka tinggalkan menjadi makanan burung-burung di udara. Jenazah para kekasih-Mu mereka biarkan menjadi makanan binatang liar.

³Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.

³Di seluruh kota Yerusalem darah mereka tertumpah seperti air; tak ada yang menguburkan mereka.

⁴We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

⁴Kami menjadi bahan ejekan bangsa-bangsa tetangga, mereka menertawakan dan mencemoohkan kami.

⁵How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?

⁵Ya TUHAN, untuk selamanyakah Engkau marah, dan cemburu-Mu berkobar seperti api?

⁶Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.

⁶Tumpahkanlah kemarahan-Mu ke atas bangsa-bangsa yang tidak mengenal Engkau, dan ke atas kerajaan-kerajaan yang tidak berbakti kepada-Mu.

⁷For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.

⁷Sebab mereka sudah membinasakan umat-Mu, dan menghancurkan tempat tinggal mereka.

⁸O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.

⁸Jangan menghukum kami karena dosa leluhur kami. Kasihanilah kami segera, sebab kami putus asa.

⁹Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake.

⁹Tolonglah kami ya Allah, penyelamat kami, ampunilah dosa-dosa kami dan bebaskanlah kami demi kehormatan-Mu sendiri.

¹⁰Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.

¹⁰Jangan biarkan bangsa lain bertanya tentang kami, "Di mana Allah mereka?" Biarlah kami melihat pembalasan atas bangsa-bangsa yang membunuh hamba-hamba-Mu.

¹¹Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;

¹¹Dengarlah rintihan para tahanan; semoga orang-orang yang ditentukan untuk mati dibiarkan hidup karena kuasa-Mu.

¹²And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.

¹²Ya TUHAN, balaslah bangsa-bangsa itu tujuh kali lipat karena semua penghinaan mereka terhadap-Mu.

¹³So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations.

¹³Maka kami umat-Mu, domba gembalaan-Mu, akan bersyukur kepada-Mu untuk selama-lamanya, dan memuji Engkau turun-temurun.
