Mazmur 76

1 Untuk pemimpin kor. Dengan iringan kecapi. Mazmur Asaf. Nyanyian. Allah terkenal di Yehuda; nama-Nya termasyhur di Israel.

People in Judah know God; the Israeli people honor him [MTY].

2 Yerusalem adalah tempat kediaman-Nya; Bukit Sion tempat tinggal-Nya.

His home is in Jerusalem; he lives on Zion [Hill].

3 Di sana Ia menghancurkan semua alat perang, semua panah berkilat, perisai dan pedang.

There he broke the flaming arrows [that his enemies shot], [and he also broke] their shields and swords and other weapons that they used in battles.

4 Sungguh agunglah Engkau, dan cemerlang, melebihi gunung-gunung purbakala.

God, you are glorious! You are like a king [as you return from] the mountains [where you defeated your enemies].

5 Orang-orang yang berani sudah dirampasi; mereka tertidur dan tak akan bangun lagi. Prajurit-prajurit yang gagah perkasa sudah kehilangan kekuatannya.

Their brave soldiers [were killed, and then those who killed them] took away everything that those soldiers had. Those enemies died [EUP], [so] they were unable to use their weapons [any more]!

6 Semua kuda dan pengendaranya jatuh mati oleh hardik-Mu, ya Allah Yakub!

When you, the God whom Jacob [worshiped], rebuked [your enemies], [the result was that their] horses and their riders fell down dead.

7 Sungguh dahsyatlah Engkau! Jika Engkau marah, siapa dapat bertahan?

But you cause everyone to be afraid. When you are angry [and you punish people], no one can [RHQ] endure it.

8 Dari langit Engkau menyatakan keputusan-Mu; bumi takut dan diam.

From heaven you proclaimed that you would judge people, [and then everyone on] the earth was afraid and did not say [anything more],

9 Ketika Engkau bangkit hendak mengadili untuk menyelamatkan orang tertindas di bumi.

when you arose to declare that you would punish [wicked people] and rescue all those whom they had oppressed.

10 Orang-orang yang paling buas pun memuji Engkau, dan yang masih marah memakai kain karung tanda berkabung.

When [you punish those] with whom you are angry, your people will praise you, and [your enemies] who (survive/are not killed) will worship you on your festival days.

11 Tepatilah janjimu kepada TUHAN Allahmu. Hendaklah semua bangsa yang tinggal dekat membawa persembahan bagi Allah yang ditakuti.

[So] give to Yahweh the offerings that you promised to give to him; all the people of nearby people-groups should also bring gifts to him, the one who is awesome.

12 Ia mematahkan semangat para penguasa; raja-raja merasa gentar terhadap-Nya.

He humbles [IDM] princes, and [even] causes [great] kings to be terrified.
