Mazmur 66
1 Untuk pemimpin kor. Sebuah nyanyian. Bersorak-sorailah untuk Allah, hai seluruh bumi!
For the leader. A song. A psalm. Shout to God, all the earth,
2 Bernyanyilah dan agungkanlah nama-Nya, muliakanlah Dia dengan puji-pujian.
sing praise to his glorious name, sing his glorious praise.
3 Katakanlah kepada Allah, "Sungguh mengagumkan perbuatan-Mu! Musuh tunduk kepada-Mu penuh ketakutan, sebab sangat besarlah kuasa-Mu.
Say to God, ‘How dread are your works, so great is your might that your enemies cringe to you.
4 Seluruh bumi sujud menyembah Engkau, mereka menyanyi memuji nama-Mu."
All the earth does homage to you, singing praises to you, singing praise to your name.’ (Selah)
5 Datanglah dan pandanglah perbuatan Allah, sungguh mengagumkan karya-karya-Nya di antara manusia!
Come and see what God has done, awe-inspiring is he in his works among people.
6 Laut diubah-Nya menjadi tanah kering, leluhur kami menyeberanginya dengan berjalan kaki. Maka kami bergembira karena perbuatan-Nya.
He turns the sea into dry land, and people cross the river on foot. Let us therefore rejoice in him,
7 Ia memerintah dengan perkasa untuk selama-lamanya. Bangsa-bangsa diawasi-Nya, supaya pemberontak tak dapat menyombong terhadap-Nya.
the mighty Ruler eternal, whose eyes keep watch on the nations, that no rebel lift up his head. (Selah)
8 Pujilah Allah kami, hai bangsa-bangsa, serukanlah pujianmu kepada-Nya!
O bless our God, you peoples; sound aloud his praise,
9 Ia telah menjaga kami supaya tetap hidup, dan tidak membiarkan kami jatuh.
who keeps us in life, and keeps our feet from slipping.
10 Ya Allah, Engkau telah menguji kami seperti orang memurnikan perak di dalam api.
For you, God, have tested us, have tried us, as silver is tried.
11 Kaubiarkan kami jatuh ke dalam perangkap, dan Kauberi beban yang sangat berat.
You did bring us into prison, and put chains upon us,
12 Kaubiarkan kami diinjak-injak musuh; kami melintasi banjir dan api. Tetapi sekarang kami telah Kaubawa ke tempat yang makmur.
you did let people ride over our head. We went through fire and through water, but you led us out to a spacious place.
13 Aku akan membawa kurban bakaran ke Rumah-Mu dan menepati janjiku kepada-Mu,
I will enter your house with burnt-offerings, I will pay to you my vows,
14 janji yang kuucapkan waktu aku dalam kesusahan.
which my open lips have uttered, arid my mouth has declared in my straits.
15 Kupersembahkan kepada-Mu kurban bakaran dari binatang pilihan, kambing domba dan sapi jantan, asapnya membubung ke langit.
I will offer you offerings of fatlings, with the odour of burning rams, I will sacrifice bullocks with goats. (Selah)
16 Datanglah dan dengarlah, hai semua orang takwa, akan kuceritakan apa yang dilakukan Allah bagiku.
Come and hear my story all who fear God – of what he has done for me.
17 Aku telah berseru minta tolong kepada-Nya; sekarang kunyanyikan pujian bagi-Nya.
For my mouth had no sooner invoked him than his praise was under my tongue.
18 Sekiranya aku senang memikirkan kejahatan, pasti TUHAN tak mau mendengarkan.
Had I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would never have listened.
19 Tetapi Allah sudah mendengar aku, Ia memperhatikan permohonanku.
But assuredly God has listened, and attended to my loud prayer.
20 Aku memuji Allah sebab Ia tidak menolak doaku, dan tidak berhenti mengasihi aku.
Blessed be God, who turned not aside my prayer, nor withdrew his kindness from me.
