¹Hear, Yahweh, my righteous plea; Give ear to my prayer, that doesn’t go out of deceitful lips.

¹Doa Daud. Dengarlah seruanku mohon keadilan, perhatikanlah doaku yang tulus, ya TUHAN.

²Let my sentence come forth from your presence. Let your eyes look on equity.

²Sudilah membela perkaraku sebab Engkau tahu apa yang benar.

³You have proved my heart. You have visited me in the night. You have tried me, and found nothing. I have resolved that my mouth shall not disobey.

³Bila Engkau menguji hatiku dan datang menyelidiki aku di waktu malam, akan Kaudapati bahwa aku tulus ikhlas; perkataanku sesuai dengan pikiranku.

⁴As for the works of men, by the word of your lips, I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.

⁴Aku melakukan apa yang Kauperintahkan dan tidak menempuh jalan kekerasan.

⁵My steps have held fast to your paths. My feet have not slipped.

⁵Aku selalu hidup menurut petunjuk-Mu dan tidak menyimpang daripada-Nya.

⁶I have called on you, for you will answer me, God. Turn your ear to me. Hear my speech.

⁶Aku berseru kepada-Mu, ya Allah, sebab Engkau menjawab aku; perhatikanlah aku dan dengarlah kata-kataku.

⁷Show your marvelous loving kindness, you who save those who take refuge by your right hand from their enemies.

⁷Tunjukkanlah kasih-Mu yang mengagumkan sebab Kauselamatkan orang yang berlindung pada-Mu, di sisi-Mu mereka aman dari serangan musuh.

⁸Keep me as the apple of your eye. Hide me under the shadow of your wings,

⁸Peliharalah aku seperti biji mata-Mu, sembunyikanlah aku dalam naungan sayap-Mu

⁹from the wicked who oppress me, my deadly enemies, who surround me.

⁹terhadap serangan orang jahat. Aku dikepung musuh yang mau membunuh aku;

¹⁰They close up their callous hearts. With their mouth they speak proudly.

¹⁰mereka tidak mengenal kasihan dan bicara dengan congkak.

¹¹They have now surrounded us in our steps. They set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.

¹¹Mereka maju melawan aku dan mengerumuni aku, mencari kesempatan untuk membanting aku.

¹²He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

¹²Mereka seperti singa yang mau menerkam mangsanya, singa muda yang menghadang di tempat tersembunyi.

¹³Arise, Yahweh, confront him. Cast him down. Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword;

¹³Bangkitlah, ya TUHAN, lawanlah musuhku dan kalahkanlah mereka. Selamatkanlah aku dengan pedang-Mu terhadap serangan orang jahat.

¹⁴from men by your hand, Yahweh, from men of the world, whose portion is in this life. You fill the belly of your cherished ones. Your sons have plenty, and they store up wealth for their children.

¹⁴Lepaskanlah aku dari orang-orang yang menimbun harta di dunia. Hukumlah mereka dengan malapetaka yang telah Kausediakan bagi mereka. Biarlah anak cucu mereka dihukum juga.

¹⁵As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form.

¹⁵Tetapi aku akan memandang Engkau, sebab aku tidak bersalah. Pada waktu aku bangun, kehadiran-Mu membuat hatiku gembira.
