¹Praise ye Jehovah. Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness [endureth] forever.

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

²Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah, Or show forth all his praise?

²Siapa dapat mewartakan keperkasaan TUHAN, dan memberi pujian yang layak bagi-Nya?

³Blessed are they that keep justice, And he that doeth righteousness at all times.

³Berbahagialah orang yang mentaati perintah-perintah-Nya, dan selalu benar dalam tindakannya.

⁴Remember me, O Jehovah, with the favor that thou bearest unto thy people; Oh visit me with thy salvation,

⁴Ingatlah aku, ya TUHAN, demi kebaikan-Mu bagi umat-Mu, tolonglah aku juga bila Engkau menyelamatkan mereka.

⁵That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen, That I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, That I may glory with thine inheritance.

⁵Semoga aku melihat kemakmuran orang-orang pilihan-Mu dan bersukacita bersama umat-Mu. Semoga aku berbangga dan bergembira bersama orang-orang yang menjadi milik-Mu.

⁶We have sinned with our fathers, We have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

⁶Kami telah berdosa seperti leluhur kami; kami sudah berbuat jahat dan mendurhaka.

⁷Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; They remembered not the multitude of thy lovingkindnesses, But were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

⁷Waktu di Mesir nenek moyang kami tidak mengerti; karya-Mu yang mengagumkan tidak mereka pahami. Mereka lupa akan kasih-Mu yang berlimpah, dan di dekat Laut Gelagah mereka berontak terhadap Yang Mahatinggi.

⁸Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, That he might make his mighty power to be known.

⁸Tetapi TUHAN menyelamatkan mereka demi diri-Nya sendiri, supaya keperkasaan-Nya menjadi nyata.

⁹He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up: So he led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.

⁹Atas perintah-Nya Laut Gelagah menjadi kering, Ia membawa umat-Nya berjalan melalui laut, seperti melalui padang gurun.

¹⁰And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

¹⁰Dengan demikian diselamatkan-Nya mereka dari tangan lawan, dibebaskan-Nya mereka dari kuasa musuh.

¹¹And the waters covered their adversaries; There was not one of them left.

¹¹Tetapi air menenggelamkan lawan mereka; tak seorang pun ketinggalan.

¹²Then believed they his words; They sang his praise.

¹²Lalu umat-Nya percaya kepada janji-Nya dan menyanyikan pujian bagi-Nya.

¹³They soon forgat his works; They waited not for his counsel,

¹³Tetapi mereka segera melupakan perbuatan TUHAN dan bertindak tanpa minta nasihat-Nya.

¹⁴But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert.

¹⁴Di padang gurun mereka dirangsang nafsu, dan mencobai Allah.

¹⁵And he gave them their request, But sent leanness into their soul.

¹⁵Ia memberi apa yang mereka minta, tetapi juga wabah penyakit yang menyerang mereka.

¹⁶They envied Moses also in the camp, [And] Aaron the saint of Jehovah.

¹⁶Di padang gurun itu mereka iri hati kepada Musa dan kepada Harun hamba-Nya yang suci.

¹⁷The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And covered the company of Abiram.

¹⁷Lalu bumi terbelah menelan Datan, menutupi Abiram dan keluarganya.

¹⁸And a fire was kindled in their company; The flame burned up the wicked.

¹⁸Api turun menyambar kelompok mereka, menghanguskan semua yang telah mendurhaka.

¹⁹They made a calf in Horeb, And worshipped a molten image.

¹⁹Di Gunung Sinai mereka membuat anak lembu emas, dan menyembah patung tuangan itu.

²⁰Thus they changed their glory For the likeness of an ox that eateth grass.

²⁰Mereka menukar Allah yang agung dengan patung sapi pemakan rumput.

²¹They forgat God their Saviour, Who had done great things in Egypt,

²¹Mereka lupa akan Allah penyelamat mereka yang telah melakukan hal-hal yang besar di Mesir.

²²Wondrous works in the land of Ham, [And] terrible things by the Red Sea.

²²Sungguh dahsyat perbuatan-perbuatan-Nya di negeri itu, menakjubkan tindakan-Nya di Laut Gelagah.

²³Therefore he said that he would destroy them, Had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy [them].

²³Maka Allah berniat membinasakan umat-Nya, tetapi dicegah oleh Musa, orang pilihan-Nya. Musa menjadi penengah mereka, sehingga kemarahan Allah reda.

²⁴Yea, they despised the pleasant land, They believed not his word,

²⁴Kemudian mereka menolak negeri yang indah itu karena tak percaya kepada janji Allah.

²⁵But murmured in their tents, And hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah.

²⁵Mereka menggerutu di dalam kemah mereka dan tak mau mendengarkan suara TUHAN.

²⁶Therefore he sware unto them, That he would overthrow them in the wilderness,

²⁶Maka dengan sumpah Ia berjanji akan membunuh mereka di padang gurun.

²⁷And that he would overthrow their seed among the nations, And scatter them in the lands.

²⁷Keturunan mereka akan dibuang-Nya di antara bangsa-bangsa dan diceraiberaikan di negeri-negeri asing.

²⁸They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, And ate the sacrifices of the dead.

²⁸Kemudian di Peor mereka menyembah Baal, dan makan persembahan untuk dewa-dewa.

²⁹Thus they provoked him to anger with their doings; And the plague brake in upon them.

²⁹Perbuatan itu membangkitkan kemarahan TUHAN, sehingga mereka diserang wabah yang mengerikan.

³⁰Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment; And so the plague was stayed.

³⁰Tetapi Pinehas bangkit menghukum yang bersalah, maka berhentilah wabah itu.

³¹And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness, Unto all generations for evermore.

³¹Perbuatan itu dianggap sebagai jasa baginya, dan dikenang untuk selama-lamanya.

³²They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, So that it went ill with Moses for their sakes;

³²Di sumur-sumur Meriba mereka membuat TUHAN marah, dan menyusahkan Musa dengan perbuatan mereka.

³³Because they were rebellious against his spirit, And he spake unadvisedly with his lips.

³³Mereka membuat hatinya kesal, sehingga ia bicara tanpa berpikir.

³⁴They did not destroy the peoples, As Jehovah commanded them,

³⁴Bangsa-bangsa lain tidak mereka musnahkan, seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN.

³⁵But mingled themselves with the nations, And learned their works,

³⁵Mereka malah berbaur dengan bangsa-bangsa itu, dan meniru cara-cara orang yang tak mengenal Allah.

³⁶And served their idols, Which became a snare unto them.

³⁶Lalu mereka menyembah berhala-berhala, dan itu menjadi sebab keruntuhan mereka.

³⁷Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,

³⁷Mereka mengurbankan anak-anak mereka kepada berhala-berhala Kanaan.

³⁸And shed innocent blood, Even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with blood.

³⁸Mereka menumpahkan darah orang tak bersalah, darah anak-anak mereka sendiri, untuk dikurbankan kepada berhala-berhala; sehingga negeri itu mereka cemarkan.

³⁹Thus were they defiled with their works, And played the harlot in their doings.

³⁹Karena perbuatan-perbuatan itu mereka menjadi najis, dan tidak setia kepada Allah.

⁴⁰Therefore was the wrath of Jehovah kindled against his people, And he abhorred his inheritance.

⁴⁰Lalu kemarahan TUHAN menyala terhadap mereka, Ia muak dengan milik-Nya sendiri.

⁴¹And he gave them into the hand of the nations; And they that hated them ruled over them.

⁴¹Maka diserahkan-Nya mereka kepada bangsa-bangsa, dibiarkan-Nya mereka dikuasai musuh.

⁴²Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were brought into subjection under their hand.

⁴²Lalu mereka ditindas oleh musuh-musuh mereka, dan ditaklukkan di bawah kuasa mereka.

⁴³Many times did he deliver them; But they were rebellious in their counsel, And were brought low in their iniquity.

⁴³Berulang kali TUHAN membebaskan mereka, tetapi mereka lebih suka memberontak, sehingga mereka binasa dalam dosa-dosa mereka.

⁴⁴Nevertheless he regarded their distress, When he heard their cry:

⁴⁴Tetapi TUHAN mendengar teriakan mereka, Ia memperhatikan kesusahan mereka.

⁴⁵And he remembered for them his covenant, And repented according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.

⁴⁵Demi mereka Ia ingat akan perjanjian-Nya dan menyayangi mereka karena kasih-Nya yang besar.

⁴⁶He made them also to be pitied Of all those that carried them captive.

⁴⁶Ia membuat mereka dikasihani oleh semua orang yang menawan mereka.

⁴⁷Save us, O Jehovah our God, And gather us from among the nations, To give thanks unto thy holy name, And to triumph in thy praise.

⁴⁷Selamatkanlah kami, ya TUHAN Allah kami, kumpulkanlah kami dari antara bangsa-bangsa, supaya kami dapat bersyukur dan memuji nama-Mu yang suci.

⁴⁸Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. And let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye Jehovah. BOOK V

⁴⁸Pujilah TUHAN, Allah Israel, sekarang dan selama-lamanya. Biarlah semua orang mengatakan, "Amin!" Pujilah TUHAN!
