¹Mengapa Engkau jauh, ya TUHAN dan bersembunyi waktu kami kesesakan?

¹Why do you stand far off, Yahweh? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?

²Dengan angkuh orang jahat menindas orang miskin; biarlah mereka terjerat oleh jaringnya sendiri.

²In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.

³Orang jahat membual tentang keinginannya yang jahat, orang serakah mengutuk dan menolak TUHAN.

³For the wicked boasts of his heart’s cravings. He blesses the greedy, and condemns Yahweh.

⁴Orang berdosa tidak peduli akan TUHAN, karena angkuhnya ia berpikir Allah tak ada.

⁴The wicked, in the pride of his face, has no room in his thoughts for God.

⁵Orang jahat berhasil dalam segala usahanya; ia tidak mengenal atau mengerti hukum TUHAN dan meremehkan semua lawannya.

⁵His ways are prosperous at all times. He is haughty, and your laws are far from his sight. As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.

⁶Katanya dalam hati, "Aku tak akan gagal, dan turun-temurun seperti orang yang tidak hidup jahat."

⁶He says in his heart, “I shall not be shaken. For generations I shall have no trouble.”

⁷Ia terus mengutuk, mengancam dan menipu, kata-katanya penuh kebencian dan kejahatan.

⁷His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.

⁸Ia bersembunyi di desa-desa hendak membunuh orang yang tidak bersalah. Seperti singa ia menunggu di balik semak memata-matai orang yang tidak berdaya. Ia menghadang orang miskin di tempat yang sunyi, menyergapnya dan menyeretnya pergi.

⁸He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.

⁹(10:8)

⁹He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush. He lies in wait to catch the helpless. He catches the helpless, when he draws him in his net.

¹⁰Ia membungkuk, siap hendak menerkam; ia menjatuhkan orang dengan kekerasan.

¹⁰The helpless are crushed. They collapse. They fall under his strength.

¹¹Pikirnya, "Allah sudah lupa dan tidak memperhatikan; untuk seterusnya Ia tidak melihat aku!"

¹¹He says in his heart, “God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it.”

¹²Bangkitlah, TUHAN, hukumlah orang jahat! Ingatlah orang yang tertindas!

¹²Arise, Yahweh! God, lift up your hand! Don’t forget the helpless.

¹³Mengapa orang jahat terus menghina Allah dan berpikir Allah tak akan menghukumnya?

¹³Why does the wicked person condemn God, and say in his heart, “God won’t call me into account?”

¹⁴Tetapi Engkau melihatnya; Kauperhatikan kesusahan dan sengsara, dan selalu siap untuk menolong. Orang yang tak berdaya menyerahkan diri kepada-Mu, Engkau selalu menolong orang yang miskin.

¹⁴But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.

¹⁵Patahkanlah kekuasaan orang jahat dan durhaka; hukumlah mereka karena perbuatannya sampai mereka jera.

¹⁵Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.

¹⁶TUHAN memerintah untuk selama-lamanya; bangsa-bangsa yang tidak mengenal Dia akan lenyap dari tanah-Nya.

¹⁶Yahweh is King forever and ever! The nations will perish out of his land.

¹⁷TUHAN, Engkau mendengar doa orang hina dan menguatkan hati mereka.

¹⁷Yahweh, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear,

¹⁸Anak yatim dan orang tertindas Kaubela perkaranya, supaya tak ada orang yang menakutkan mereka.

¹⁸to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may terrify no more.
