¹O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

¹"Bersyukurlah kepada TUHAN sebab Ia baik, kasih-Nya kekal abadi."

²Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

²Katakanlah itu berulang-ulang, hai kamu yang sudah diselamatkan dari kesusahan.

³And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.

³Kamu sudah dikumpulkan-Nya dari negeri-negeri asing, dari timur dan barat, utara dan selatan.

⁴They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.

⁴Ada yang mengembara di padang belantara, dan tak tahu jalan ke tempat kediaman di kota.

⁵Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

⁵Mereka kelaparan dan kehausan dan kehilangan segala harapan.

⁶Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.

⁶Dalam kesusahan mereka berseru kepada TUHAN, dan Ia membebaskan mereka dari kesesakan.

⁷And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

⁷Ia membimbing mereka melalui jalan yang lurus ke tempat kediaman di kota.

⁸Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

⁸Pantaslah mereka bersyukur kepada TUHAN karena kasih-Nya, karena karya-karya-Nya yang mengagumkan bagi manusia.

⁹For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

⁹Sebab Ia memuaskan orang yang haus, dan melimpahi orang lapar dengan segala yang baik.

¹⁰Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;

¹⁰Ada yang meringkuk di dalam kegelapan, orang tahanan yang menderita dalam belenggu besi,

¹¹Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:

¹¹sebab mereka telah berontak terhadap Allah dan tidak mengindahkan perintah Yang Mahatinggi.

¹²Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.

¹²Ia meremukkan hati mereka dengan kerja berat; mereka jatuh dan tak ada yang menolong.

¹³Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.

¹³Dalam kesusahan mereka berseru kepada TUHAN, dan Ia membebaskan mereka dari kesesakan.

¹⁴He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.

¹⁴Ia membawa mereka keluar dari kegelapan, dan mematahkan belenggu mereka.

¹⁵Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

¹⁵Pantaslah mereka bersyukur kepada TUHAN karena kasih-Nya, karena karya-karya-Nya yang mengagumkan bagi manusia.

¹⁶For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.

¹⁶Sebab Ia merobohkan pintu-pintu tembaga, dan meremukkan palang-palang besi.

¹⁷Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

¹⁷Ada yang dungu dan menderita karena dosa-dosa mereka, serta disiksa karena kesalahan mereka.

¹⁸Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.

¹⁸Mereka muak terhadap segala makanan, ajal mereka sudah dekat.

¹⁹Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.

¹⁹Dalam kesusahan mereka berseru kepada TUHAN, dan Ia membebaskan mereka dari kesesakan.

²⁰He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

²⁰Ia menyembuhkan mereka dengan perintah-Nya, dan meluputkan mereka dari liang kubur.

²¹Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

²¹Pantaslah mereka bersyukur kepada TUHAN karena kasih-Nya, karena karya-karya-Nya yang mengagumkan bagi manusia.

²²And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.

²²Biarlah mereka bersyukur dengan membawa persembahan, dan mewartakan perbuatan-Nya dengan lagu-lagu gembira.

²³They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;

²³Ada lagi yang mengarungi laut dengan kapal, untuk mencari nafkah di laut yang luas.

²⁴These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.

²⁴Mereka melihat perbuatan-perbuatan TUHAN, karya-Nya yang ajaib di lautan.

²⁵For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.

²⁵Atas perintah-Nya bertiuplah angin topan dan menggelorakan ombak-ombak.

²⁶They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.

²⁶Kapal-kapal terangkat tinggi ke udara, lalu dihempaskan ke dasar samudra. Orang-orang kehilangan keberanian menghadapi bahaya sebesar itu.

²⁷They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end.

²⁷Mereka pusing dan terhuyung-huyung seperti orang mabuk dan kehilangan akal.

²⁸Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.

²⁸Dalam kesusahan mereka berseru kepada TUHAN, dan Ia membebaskan mereka dari kesesakan.

²⁹He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.

²⁹Badai yang mengamuk disuruh-Nya diam, ombak-ombak pun menjadi tenang.

³⁰Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

³⁰Mereka senang sebab topan sudah berlalu; dibawa-Nya mereka ke pelabuhan yang dituju.

³¹Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

³¹Pantaslah mereka bersyukur kepada TUHAN karena kasih-Nya, karena karya-karya-Nya yang mengagumkan bagi manusia.

³²Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

³²Mereka memasyhurkan keagungan TUHAN di tengah umat-Nya, dan memuji Dia dalam majelis kaum tua.

³³He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;

³³Sungai-sungai diubah-Nya menjadi padang gurun mata air menjadi tanah yang gersang.

³⁴A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

³⁴Tanah subur dijadikan-Nya padang asin, karena kejahatan orang-orang yang mendiaminya.

³⁵He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.

³⁵Padang gurun diubah-Nya menjadi kolam air, tanah kering menjadi mata air.

³⁶And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;

³⁶Orang-orang lapar ditempatkan-Nya di sana; mereka mendirikan kota untuk kediaman mereka.

³⁷And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.

³⁷Mereka menaburi ladang-ladang dan menanam pohon anggur, lalu mengumpulkan hasil yang berlimpah.

³⁸He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

³⁸TUHAN menganugerahi mereka banyak anak, dan hewan mereka terus berkembang biak.

³⁹Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.

³⁹Tetapi mereka dikalahkan dan tinggal sedikit karena sengsara dan penindasan yang kejam.

⁴⁰He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.

⁴⁰TUHAN merendahkan para penguasa mereka, dan menyuruh mereka mengembara di padang belantara yang tidak ada jalannya.

⁴¹Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.

⁴¹Tetapi orang miskin dibebaskan-Nya dari kesusahan mereka, keluarga mereka bertambah seperti kawanan domba.

⁴²The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

⁴²Orang jujur melihatnya dan bergembira, tetapi orang jahat dibungkamkan.

⁴³Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.

⁴³Semoga orang bijaksana memikirkan semua hal itu dan mengakui bahwa TUHAN tetap mengasihi.
