Mazmur 28
1 Mazmur Daud. Ya TUHAN, kepada-Mu aku berseru, Engkau pembelaku, dengarlah seruanku. Bila Engkau membisu terhadapku, aku seperti orang yang turun ke liang kubur.
A Psalm of David himself. To you, Lord, I will cry out. My God, do not be silent toward me. For if you remain silent toward me, I will become like those who descend into the pit.
2 Dengarlah permohonanku bila aku berteriak minta tolong, dan mengangkat tanganku ke arah Rumah-Mu yang suci.
Hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication, when I pray to you, when I lift up my hands toward your holy temple.
3 Jangan menumpas aku bersama orang durhaka, bersama orang yang melakukan kejahatan. Mereka berbicara dengan ramah, tetapi hati mereka penuh kebusukan.
Do not draw me away together with sinners; and let me not perish with those who work iniquity, who speak peacefully to their neighbor, yet evils are in their hearts.
4 Hukumlah mereka karena perbuatan mereka, karena kejahatan yang mereka lakukan. Hukumlah mereka sesuai dengan perbuatan mereka; berilah mereka hukuman yang setimpal.
Give to them according to their works and according to the wickedness of their inventions. Assign to them according to the works of their hands. Repay them with their own retribution.
5 Mereka tidak mengindahkan perbuatan TUHAN, atau apa yang dikerjakan-Nya. Maka Ia akan menghukum mereka, dan membinasakan mereka untuk selama-lamanya.
Since they have not understood the works of the Lord and the works of his hands, you will destroy them, and you will not build them up.
6 Terpujilah TUHAN, sebab Ia telah mendengar permohonanku.
Blessed is the Lord, for he has heard the voice of my supplication.
7 TUHAN pelindung dan pembelaku, aku percaya kepada-Nya. Ia menolong dan menggirangkan hatiku, aku memuji Dia dengan lagu syukur.
The Lord is my helper and my protector. In him, my heart has hoped and I have been helped. And my flesh has flourished again. And from my will, I shall confess to him.
8 TUHAN memberi kekuatan kepada umat-Nya, Ia membela dan menyelamatkan raja pilihan-Nya.
The Lord is the strength of his people and the protector of the salvation of his Christ.
9 Selamatkanlah umat-Mu, ya TUHAN, berkatilah orang-orang milik-Mu. Jadilah seperti seorang gembala bagi mereka, dan jagalah mereka untuk selama-lamanya.
O Lord, save your people and bless your inheritance, and reign over them and exalt them, even unto eternity.
