¹Mazmur Daud. TUHAN, lawanlah orang yang melawan aku, perangilah orang yang memerangi aku.

¹[A Psalm] of David. Strive thou, O Jehovah, with them that strive with me: Fight thou against them that fight against me.

²Ambillah utar-utar dan perisai-Mu, dan bangkitlah menolong aku.

²Take hold of shield and buckler, And stand up for my help.

³Angkatlah lembing dan tombak-Mu untuk melawan orang yang mengejar aku. Katakanlah kepadaku bahwa Engkau penyelamatku.

³Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that pursue me: Say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.

⁴Biarlah orang yang mau membunuh aku dikalahkan dan dipermalukan. Biarlah orang yang berkomplot melawan aku mundur dengan kebingungan.

⁴Let them be put to shame and brought to dishonor that seek after my soul: Let them be turned back and confounded that devise my hurt.

⁵Biarlah mereka diburu malaikat TUHAN, seperti sekam dihamburkan angin.

⁵Let them be as chaff before the wind, And the angel of Jehovah driving [them] on.

⁶Biarlah mereka dikejar malaikat TUHAN di jalan yang gelap dan licin.

⁶Let their way be dark and slippery, And the angel of Jehovah pursuing them.

⁷Percuma mereka memasang perangkap bagiku atau menggali lubang untuk menangkap aku.

⁷For without cause have they hid for me their net [in] a pit; Without cause have they digged [a pit] for my soul.

⁸Biarlah mereka ditimpa kebinasaan dengan tidak disangka-sangka. Biarlah mereka tertangkap dalam perangkapnya sendiri lalu jatuh dan binasa.

⁸Let destruction come upon him unawares; And let his net that he hath hid catch himself: With destruction let him fall therein.

⁹Maka aku bersorak-sorak karena TUHAN, hatiku gembira sebab Ia menyelamatkan aku.

⁹And my soul shall be joyful in Jehovah: It shall rejoice in his salvation.

¹⁰Dengan segenap hati aku berkata, "TUHAN, Engkau tak ada bandingnya! Engkau melepaskan yang lemah dari yang kuat, yang miskin dan sengsara dari penindasnya."

¹⁰All my bones shall say, Jehovah, who is like unto thee, Who deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, Yea, the poor and the needy from him that robbeth him?

¹¹Saksi-saksi jahat bangkit melawan aku, dan menuduh aku melakukan hal-hal yang tidak kuketahui.

¹¹Unrighteous witnesses rise up; They ask me of things that I know not.

¹²Kebaikanku mereka balas dengan kejahatan; aku tenggelam dalam keputusasaan.

¹²They reward me evil for good, [To] the bereaving of my soul.

¹³Waktu mereka sakit, aku sedih dan tidak makan; aku berdoa dengan menundukkan kepala,

¹³But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I afflicted my soul with fasting; And my prayer returned into mine own bosom.

¹⁴seperti mendoakan seorang saudara atau seorang sahabat karib. Aku tunduk menangisi mereka, seolah aku berkabung untuk ibuku sendiri.

¹⁴I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother: I bowed down mourning, as one that bewaileth his mother.

¹⁵Tetapi waktu aku susah, mereka senang, dan berkerumun melawan aku. Mereka berjalan terpincang-pincang untuk menghina aku.

¹⁵But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: The abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew [it] not; They did tear me, and ceased not:

¹⁶Mereka terus mengolok-olok seorang lumpuh, dan memandang aku dengan benci.

¹⁶Like the profane mockers in feasts, They gnashed upon me with their teeth.

¹⁷Sampai kapan, ya TUHAN, sampai kapan Engkau hanya memandang saja? Selamatkanlah aku dari serangan mereka, luputkanlah nyawaku dari singa-singa itu.

¹⁷Lord, how long wilt thou look on? Rescue my soul from their destructions, My darling from the lions.

¹⁸Maka aku akan bersyukur kepada-Mu di tengah umat-Mu, dan memuji nama-Mu dalam pertemuan mereka.

¹⁸I will give thee thanks in the great assembly: I will praise thee among much people.

¹⁹Jangan membiarkan aku dipermainkan oleh orang yang memusuhi aku tanpa sebab. Jangan membiarkan aku disoraki oleh orang yang membenci aku tanpa alasan.

¹⁹Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; Neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.

²⁰Bicara mereka tidak ramah; mereka merencanakan penipuan terhadap orang yang hidup rukun.

²⁰For they speak not peace; But they devise deceitful words against them that are quiet in the land.

²¹Mereka berteriak-teriak kepadaku dan berkata bahwa mereka sudah melihat perbuatanku.

²¹Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me; They said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.

²²Tetapi Engkau, TUHAN, telah melihatnya; janganlah berdiam diri, ya TUHAN, janganlah jauh daripadaku.

²²Thou hast seen it, O Jehovah; keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.

²³Bangkitlah membela perkaraku, ya Allahku dan Tuhanku, tolonglah aku!

²³Stir up thyself, and awake to the justice [due] unto me, [Even] unto my cause, my God and my Lord.

²⁴Belalah aku, sebab Engkau adil, ya TUHAN Allahku, jangan biarkan musuh menyoraki aku.

²⁴Judge me, O Jehovah my God, according to thy righteousness; And let them not rejoice over me.

²⁵Jangan biarkan mereka berkata dalam hati, "Syukur, kita sudah menghabiskan nyawanya. Keinginan kita sudah terkabul!"

²⁵Let them not say in their heart, Aha, so would we have it: Let them not say, We have swallowed him up.

²⁶Biarlah orang yang senang melihat sengsaraku menjadi bingung dan mendapat malu. Biarlah orang yang menyombongkan diri terhadapku dihina dan dipermalukan.

²⁶Let them be put to shame and confounded together that rejoice at my hurt: Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor that magnify themselves against me.

²⁷Semoga orang yang ingin melihat aku dibenarkan bersorak dan bergembira. Semoga mereka berulang-ulang berkata, "Sungguh agunglah TUHAN! Ia menginginkan keselamatan hamba-Nya!"

²⁷Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: Yea, let them say continually, Jehovah be magnified, Who hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

²⁸Maka aku akan mewartakan keadilan-Mu, dan memuji Engkau sepanjang hari.

²⁸And my tongue shall talk of thy righteousness [And] of thy praise all the day long.
