¹A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the nations are come into thine inheritance; Thy holy temple have they defiled; They have laid Jerusalem in 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 food unto the birds of the heavens, 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 neighbors, A scoffing and derision to them that are round about us.

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

⁵How long, O Jehovah? 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 nations that know thee not, And upon the kingdoms that call not 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 habitation.

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

⁸Remember not against us the iniquities of our forefathers: Let thy tender mercies speedily meet 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 forgive 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 nations say, Where is their God? Let the avenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed Be known among the nations in our sight.

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 death;

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

¹²And render unto our neighbors 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 show 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.
