¹Setelah TUHAN menyelamatkan Daud dari Saul dan dari segala musuhnya yang lain, Daud menyanyikan lagu ini bagi TUHAN:

¹David spoke to Yahweh the words of this song in the day that Yahweh delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:

²(Kucinta kepada-Mu, ya TUHAN, Engkaulah kekuatanku.)

²and he said, “Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine;

³TUHAN seperti benteng yang kuat tempat aku berlindung. Allahku seperti gunung batu, tempat aku bernaung. Seperti perisai Ia menutupi aku, dan menjaga aku agar aman selalu.

³God, my rock, in him I will take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge. My savior, you save me from violence.

⁴Aku berseru kepada TUHAN yang patut dipuji, Ia membebaskan aku dari musuh-musuhku.

⁴I will call on Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised: So shall I be saved from my enemies.

⁵Aku dikelilingi bahaya maut dan digenangi banjir kebinasaan.

⁵For the waves of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.

⁶Aku dikelilingi bahaya maut, perangkap maut ada di depanku.

⁶The cords of Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. were around me. The snares of death caught me.

⁷Dalam kesesakanku aku berseru kepada TUHAN, aku berteriak kepada Allahku mohon pertolongan. Dari Rumah-Nya Ia mendengar suaraku dan memperhatikan seruanku.

⁷In my distress I called on Yahweh. Yes, I called to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry came into his ears.

⁸Lalu bumi berguncang dan bergetar, dasar-dasar gunung goyah dan gemetar karena kemarahan Allah!

⁸Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations of heaven quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.

⁹Asap menyembur dari lubang hidung-Nya, api dan bara keluar dari mulut-Nya.

⁹Smoke went up out of his nostrils. Fire out of his mouth devoured. Coals were kindled by it.

¹⁰Langit dibelah-Nya, lalu turunlah Ia, dengan awan gelap di bawah kaki-Nya.

¹⁰He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.

¹¹Ia terbang dengan mengendarai kerub; Ia melayang di atas sayap angin.

¹¹He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he was seen on the wings of the wind.

¹²Ia menyelubungi diri-Nya dengan kegelapan; awan mendung yang tebal mengelilingi Dia.

¹²He made darkness pavilions around himself: gathering of waters, and thick clouds of the skies.

¹³Dari kilat di hadapan-Nya, keluarlah awan, hujan es dan api.

¹³At the brightness before him, coals of fire were kindled.

¹⁴Lalu TUHAN mengguntur dari angkasa, Yang Mahatinggi memperdengarkan suara-Nya.

¹⁴Yahweh thundered from heaven. The Most High uttered his voice.

¹⁵Ia menembakkan panah-panah-Nya, dan menceraiberaikan musuh. Ia menyambarkan kilat berulang-ulang dan membuat mereka lari.

¹⁵He sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and confused them.

¹⁶Dasar laut tersingkap dan alas bumi terbuka waktu TUHAN membentak musuh-Nya dengan murka.

¹⁶Then the channels of the sea appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare by the rebuke of Yahweh, At the blast of the breath of his nostrils.

¹⁷Dari atas TUHAN mengulurkan tangan-Nya; dipegang-Nya aku dan ditarik-Nya dari air yang dalam.

¹⁷He sent from on high and he took me. He drew me out of many waters.

¹⁸Ia menyelamatkan aku dari musuh yang perkasa dan dari orang-orang yang membenci aku karena mereka terlalu kuat bagiku.

¹⁸He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.

¹⁹Mereka menyerang aku waktu aku ditimpa bencana tetapi TUHAN menjadi penolongku.

¹⁹They came on me in the day of my calamity, but Yahweh was my support.

²⁰Ia melepaskan aku dari bahaya dan menyelamatkan aku karena Ia berkenan padaku.

²⁰He also brought me out into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.

²¹TUHAN membalas perbuatanku yang benar; Ia memberkati aku sebab aku tidak bersalah.

²¹Yahweh rewarded me according to my righteousness. He rewarded me according to the cleanness of my hands.

²²Aku mentaati perintah TUHAN, dan tidak berpaling dari Allahku.

²²For I have kept the ways of Yahweh, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

²³Semua hukum-Nya kuperhatikan, perintah-perintah-Nya tidak kulalaikan.

²³For all his ordinances were before me. As for his statutes, I did not depart from them.

²⁴Ia tahu bahwa aku tidak bercela dan menjauhkan diri dari kesalahan.

²⁴I was also perfect toward him. I kept myself from my iniquity.

²⁵Maka TUHAN membalas perbuatanku yang benar sebab Ia tahu aku tidak bersalah.

²⁵Therefore Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his eyesight.

²⁶TUHAN, Engkau setia kepada orang yang setia dan baik kepada orang yang baik.

²⁶With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man you will show yourself perfect.

²⁷Terhadap orang suci Kaunyatakan diri-Mu suci, tetapi orang yang jahat Kaumusuhi.

²⁷With the pure you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.

²⁸Orang yang rendah hati Kauselamatkan; tetapi orang yang congkak Kautundukkan.

²⁸You will save the afflicted people, But your eyes are on the haughty, that you may bring them down.

²⁹Engkau menyalakan pelitaku; TUHAN Allahku menerangi kegelapanku.

²⁹For you are my lamp, Yahweh. Yahweh will light up my darkness.

³⁰Engkau menguatkan aku untuk menumpas musuh; dengan bantuan Allahku kudobrak pertahanan mereka.

³⁰For by you, I run against a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.

³¹Perbuatan Allah sempurna, janji TUHAN dapat dipercaya! Ia seperti perisai bagi semua yang berlindung pada-Nya.

³¹As for God, his way is perfect. The word of Yahweh is tested. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.

³²Sebab hanya Tuhanlah Allah; Allah saja pembela kita.

³²For who is God, besides Yahweh? Who is a rock, besides our God?

³³Dialah Allah yang menguatkan aku dan membuat jalanku aman.

³³God is my strong fortress. He makes my way perfect.

³⁴Ia menguatkan kakiku seperti kaki rusa, dan menjaga keselamatanku di pegunungan.

³⁴He makes his feet like hinds’ feet, and sets me on my high places.

³⁵Ia melatih aku untuk berperang, sehingga aku dapat merentangkan busur yang paling kuat.

³⁵He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of brass.

³⁶TUHAN, Engkau melindungi dan menyelamatkan aku, dan menopang aku dengan kuasa-Mu aku menjadi unggul karena tindakan-Mu.

³⁶You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your gentleness has made me great.

³⁷Kaujaga aku supaya aku tidak tertawan

³⁷You have enlarged my steps under me. My feet have not slipped.

³⁸Kukejar musuhku dan kukalahkan mereka, dan pantang mundur sampai mereka binasa.

³⁸I have pursued my enemies and destroyed them. I didn’t turn again until they were consumed.

³⁹Kubanting mereka sampai tak dapat bangkit lagi, mereka rebah tak berdaya di depan kakiku.

³⁹I have consumed them, and struck them through, so that they can’t arise. Yes, they have fallen under my feet.

⁴⁰Kauberi aku kekuatan untuk berperang, dan kemenangan atas musuh-musuhku.

⁴⁰For you have armed me with strength for the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

⁴¹Kaubuat musuhku lari daripadaku;

⁴¹You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.

⁴²Mereka berteriak, tetapi tak ada yang menolong, mereka berseru kepada TUHAN, tapi Ia tidak menjawab.

⁴²They looked, but there was none to save; even to Yahweh, but he didn’t answer them.

⁴³Mereka kuremukkan seperti debu yang berhamburan, dan kusapu seperti lumpur di jalan.

⁴³Then I beat them as small as the dust of the earth. I crushed them as the mire of the streets, and spread them abroad.

⁴⁴Engkau membebaskan aku dari kaum yang durhaka, dan menjadikan aku penguasa bangsa-bangsa; bangsa yang tidak kukenal menjadi hambaku.

⁴⁴You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people. You have kept me to be the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known will serve me.

⁴⁵Orang-orang asing tunduk kepadaku, dan taat bila mendengar perintahku.

⁴⁵The foreigners will submit themselves to me. As soon as they hear of me, they will obey me.

⁴⁶Keberanian mereka sudah hilang; mereka gemetar dan keluar dari kubunya.

⁴⁶The foreigners will fade away, and will come trembling out of their close places.

⁴⁷TUHAN hidup! Terpujilah pembelaku! Agungkanlah kebesaran Allah, penyelamatku!

⁴⁷Yahweh lives! Blessed be my rock! Exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,

⁴⁸Ia memberi aku kemenangan atas musuhku, bangsa-bangsa ditaklukkan-Nya di hadapanku,

⁴⁸even the God who executes vengeance for me, who brings down peoples under me,

⁴⁹diselamatkan-Nya aku dari lawan-lawanku. TUHAN, Kauberi aku kemenangan atas musuhku, Kaulindungi aku dari orang-orang yang kejam.

⁴⁹who brings me away from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.

⁵⁰Maka kuagungkan Engkau di antara bangsa-bangsa, dan kunyanyikan puji-pujian bagi-Mu.

⁵⁰Therefore I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations. Will sing praises to your name.

⁵¹Allah memberi kemenangan besar kepada raja yang dilantik-Nya, Ia tetap mengasihi orang pilihan-Nya, yaitu Daud dan keturunannya untuk selama-lamanya.

⁵¹He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his seed, forevermore.”
