¹Untuk pemimpin kor. Mazmur Daud. Ya Allah yang selalu kupuji, janganlah berdiam diri.

²for they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit against me. They have spoken to me with a lying tongue.

²Sebab aku diserang penjahat dan penipu yang menyebarkan cerita-cerita bohong tentang aku.

³They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.

³Mereka menyerang aku dengan kata-kata penuh kebencian, dan memerangi aku tanpa alasan.

⁴In return for my love, they are my adversaries; but I am in prayer.

⁴Mereka menuduh aku, walaupun aku mengasihi mereka, dan telah mendoakan mereka.

⁵They have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

⁵Mereka membalas kebaikanku dengan kejahatan, dan kasihku dengan kebencian.

⁶Set a wicked man over him. Let an adversary stand at his right hand.

⁶Angkatlah seorang jahat untuk mengadili dia, biarlah ia didakwa oleh lawannya.

⁷When he is judged, let him come forth guilty. Let his prayer be turned into sin.

⁷Biarlah ia diadili dan dinyatakan bersalah, dan biarlah doanya dianggap dosa.

⁸Let his days be few. Let another take his office.

⁸Biarlah hidupnya lekas berakhir, dan jabatannya diambil oleh orang lain.

⁹Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

⁹Biarlah anak-anaknya menjadi yatim, dan istrinya menjadi janda.

¹⁰Let his children be wandering beggars. Let them be sought from their ruins.

¹⁰Biarlah anak-anaknya menjadi pengemis yang mengembara, dan diusir dari reruntuhan rumahnya.

¹¹Let the creditor seize all that he has. Let strangers plunder the fruit of his labor.

¹¹Biarlah segala miliknya disita oleh penagih utang, dan hasil jerih payahnya dirampas orang.

¹²Let there be no one to extend kindness to him, neither let there be anyone to have pity on his fatherless children.

¹²Jangan ada yang baik hati kepadanya, atau menyayangi anak-anak yang ditinggalkannya.

¹³Let his posterity be cut off. In the generation following let their name be blotted out.

¹³Biarlah seluruh keturunannya dibinasakan, dan namanya dilupakan oleh angkatan yang kemudian.

¹⁴Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by Yahweh. Don’t let the sin of his mother be blotted out.

¹⁴Biarlah kejahatan leluhurnya tetap diingat TUHAN, dan dosa ibunya tidak dihapuskan.

¹⁵Let them be before Yahweh continually, that he may cut off their memory from the earth;

¹⁵Biarlah dosa mereka selalu diingat TUHAN, dan tak ada yang mengenang mereka di bumi.

¹⁶because he didn’t remember to show kindness, but persecuted the poor and needy man, the broken in heart, to kill them.

¹⁶Sebab orang itu tak pernah ingat untuk menunjukkan kasih sayang. Ia menganiaya orang miskin dan sengsara, dan membunuh orang yang tak berdaya.

¹⁷Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him. He didn’t delight in blessing, and it was far from him.

¹⁷Ia suka mengutuk; biarlah ia sendiri kena kutuk! Ia tidak suka memberi berkat, biarlah tak ada berkat untuk dia!

¹⁸He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment. It came into his inward parts like water, like oil into his bones.

¹⁸Baginya mengutuk itu perbuatan biasa, sama seperti mengenakan pakaiannya. Biarlah kutuk itu merembes seperti air ke badannya, dan seperti minyak ke dalam tulang-tulangnya.

¹⁹Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself, for the belt that is always around him.

¹⁹Biarlah kutuk itu menutupi dia seperti pakaian, dan selalu melingkari dia seperti ikat pinggang.

²⁰This is the reward of my adversaries from Yahweh, of those who speak evil against my soul.

²⁰TUHAN, jatuhkanlah hukuman itu atas penuduhku, atas orang yang bicara jahat tentang aku.

²¹But deal with me, Yahweh the Lord, The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” for your name’s sake, because your loving kindness is good, deliver me;

²¹Tetapi tolonglah aku sesuai dengan janji-Mu, ya TUHAN Allahku, selamatkanlah aku karena kebaikan dan kasih-Mu.

²²for I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded within me.

²²Sebab aku miskin dan sengsara, dan hatiku terluka sampai dalam.

²³I fade away like an evening shadow. I am shaken off like a locust.

²³Aku hampir hilang seperti bayangan di waktu petang, aku dikebaskan seperti belalang.

²⁴My knees are weak through fasting. My body is thin and lacks fat.

²⁴Lututku gemetar karena berpuasa, badanku menjadi kurus kering.

²⁵I have also become a reproach to them. When they see me, they shake their head.

²⁵Orang-orang yang melihat aku menghina aku sambil menggeleng-gelengkan kepala.

²⁶Help me, Yahweh, my God. Save me according to your loving kindness;

²⁶Tolonglah aku, ya TUHAN Allahku, selamatkanlah aku sesuai dengan kasih-Mu.

²⁷that they may know that this is your hand; that you, Yahweh, have done it.

²⁷Maka musuhku akan tahu bahwa itu perbuatan-Mu, bahwa Engkau, TUHAN, yang melakukannya.

²⁸They may curse, but you bless. When they arise, they will be shamed, but your servant shall rejoice.

²⁸Walaupun mereka mengutuk aku, semoga Engkau memberkati aku. Biarpun mereka bangkit, mereka akan dipermalukan; tetapi semoga aku, hamba-Mu, digembirakan.

²⁹Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor. Let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.

²⁹Biarlah orang-orang yang menuduh aku diliputi kehinaan, dan rasa malu menyelubungi mereka seperti jubah.

³⁰I will give great thanks to Yahweh with my mouth. Yes, I will praise him among the multitude.

³⁰Aku mau memuji TUHAN dengan suara nyaring, memasyhurkan Dia di tengah himpunan umat.

³¹For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those who judge his soul.

³¹Sebab Ia membela dan menyelamatkan orang miskin dari mereka yang menjatuhkan hukuman mati ke atasnya.
