Psalms 62
1 God is the only one who can give me peace in my inner being, and he is the one who saves me [from my enemies].
Untuk pemimpin biduan. Menurut: Yedutun. Mazmur Daud. Hanya dekat Allah saja aku tenang, dari pada-Nyalah keselamatanku.
2 Only he is like an [overhanging] rock [under which I can be safe] [MET]; he will be [like] a shelter, [with the result that] I will never be defeated [MET].
Hanya Dialah gunung batuku dan keselamatanku, kota bentengku, aku tidak akan goyah.
3 When will you, [my enemies], stop attacking me [RHQ]? I feel that I am [as useless against you as] a wall that is about to fall over or a broken-down fence [MET].
Berapa lamakah kamu hendak menyerbu seseorang, hendak meremukkan dia, hai kamu sekalian, seperti terhadap dinding yang miring, terhadap tembok yang hendak roboh?
4 My enemies plan to remove me from my important position so that people no longer honor me. They delight in telling lies. They bless people by what they say [MTY], but in their inner beings they curse [those people].
Mereka hanya bermaksud menghempaskan dia dari kedudukannya yang tinggi; mereka suka kepada dusta; dengan mulutnya mereka memberkati, tetapi dalam hatinya mereka mengutuki. (Sela)
5 God is the only one who gives me peace in my inner being; he is the one whom I confidently expect [to help me].
Hanya pada Allah saja kiranya aku tenang, sebab dari pada-Nyalah harapanku.
6 Only he is [like an overhanging] rock [under which I can be safe] [MET]; he is [like] a shelter, and [as a result] I will never be defeated.
Hanya Dialah gunung batuku dan keselamatanku, kota bentengku, aku tidak akan goyah.
7 God is the one who saves me and honors me. He is [like an overhanging] strong rock under which I [can] find shelter [MET].
Pada Allah ada keselamatanku dan kemuliaanku; gunung batu kekuatanku, tempat perlindunganku ialah Allah.
8 [You my] people, always trust in him. Tell him all your troubles, because he is (our refuge/the one who protects us) [MET].
Percayalah kepada-Nya setiap waktu, hai umat, curahkanlah isi hatimu di hadapan-Nya; Allah ialah tempat perlindungan kita. (Sela)
9 People who are considered to be unimportant are [as worthless/unreliable as] a breath of air; people who are considered to be important [also] really (amount to nothing/cannot be trusted [to help us)]. If you put them all on a scale, [it would be as if] they weighed less than a puff of air.
Hanya angin saja orang-orang yang hina, suatu dusta saja orang-orang yang mulia. Pada neraca mereka naik ke atas, mereka sekalian lebih ringan dari pada angin.
10 Do not trust in money gained by extorting it from others; do not try to gain anything by robbing others. If you become very wealthy, do not trust in [IDM] your money.
Janganlah percaya kepada pemerasan, janganlah menaruh harap yang sia-sia kepada perampasan; apabila harta makin bertambah, janganlah hatimu melekat padanya.
11 I have heard God say more than once that he is the one who [really] has power,
Satu kali Allah berfirman, dua hal yang aku dengar: bahwa kuasa dari Allah asalnya,
12 and that he is the one who faithfully loves [us]. He rewards every one [of us] according to the deeds that we do.
dan dari pada-Mu juga kasih setia, ya Tuhan; sebab Engkau membalas setiap orang menurut perbuatannya.
