Psalms 17
1 A Prayer of David. Lord, listen to my justice, attend to my supplication. Pay attention to my prayer, which is not from deceitful lips.
Doa Daud. Dengarlah seruanku mohon keadilan, perhatikanlah doaku yang tulus, ya TUHAN.
2 Let my judgment proceed from your presence. Let your eyes behold fairness.
Sudilah membela perkaraku sebab Engkau tahu apa yang benar.
3 You have tested my heart and visited it by night. You have examined me by fire, and iniquity has not been found in me.
Bila Engkau menguji hatiku dan datang menyelidiki aku di waktu malam, akan Kaudapati bahwa aku tulus ikhlas; perkataanku sesuai dengan pikiranku.
4 Therefore, may my mouth not speak the works of men. I have kept to difficult ways because of the words of your lips.
Aku melakukan apa yang Kauperintahkan dan tidak menempuh jalan kekerasan.
5 Perfect my steps in your paths, so that my footsteps may not be disturbed.
Aku selalu hidup menurut petunjuk-Mu dan tidak menyimpang daripada-Nya.
6 I have cried out because you, O God, have listened to me. Incline your ear to me and heed my words.
Aku berseru kepada-Mu, ya Allah, sebab Engkau menjawab aku; perhatikanlah aku dan dengarlah kata-kataku.
7 Make your mercies wonderful, for you save those who hope in you.
Tunjukkanlah kasih-Mu yang mengagumkan sebab Kauselamatkan orang yang berlindung pada-Mu, di sisi-Mu mereka aman dari serangan musuh.
8 From those who resist your right hand, preserve me like the pupil of your eye. Protect me under the shadow of your wings,
Peliharalah aku seperti biji mata-Mu, sembunyikanlah aku dalam naungan sayap-Mu
9 from the face of the impious who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul.
terhadap serangan orang jahat. Aku dikepung musuh yang mau membunuh aku;
10 They have concealed their fatness; their mouth has been speaking arrogantly.
mereka tidak mengenal kasihan dan bicara dengan congkak.
11 They have cast me out, and now they have surrounded me. They have cast their eyes down to the earth.
Mereka maju melawan aku dan mengerumuni aku, mencari kesempatan untuk membanting aku.
12 They have taken me, like a lion ready for the prey, and like a young lion dwelling in hiding.
Mereka seperti singa yang mau menerkam mangsanya, singa muda yang menghadang di tempat tersembunyi.
13 Rise up, O Lord, arrive before him and displace him. Deliver my soul from the impious one: your spear from the enemies of your hand.
Bangkitlah, ya TUHAN, lawanlah musuhku dan kalahkanlah mereka. Selamatkanlah aku dengan pedang-Mu terhadap serangan orang jahat.
14 Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life. Their gut has been filled from your hidden stores. They have been filled with sons, and they have bequeathed to their little ones the remainder.
Lepaskanlah aku dari orang-orang yang menimbun harta di dunia. Hukumlah mereka dengan malapetaka yang telah Kausediakan bagi mereka. Biarlah anak cucu mereka dihukum juga.
15 But as for me, I will appear before your sight in justice. I will be satisfied when your glory appears.
Tetapi aku akan memandang Engkau, sebab aku tidak bersalah. Pada waktu aku bangun, kehadiran-Mu membuat hatiku gembira.
