¹Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

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

²Let the redeemed of Jehovah say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the oppressor,

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

³And gathered out of the countries, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the sea.

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

⁴They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way, they found no city of habitation;

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 Jehovah 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 a right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

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

⁸Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men;

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

⁹For he hath satisfied the longing soul and filled the hungry soul with good.

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

¹⁰Such as inhabit darkness and the shadow of death, bound in affliction and iron,

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

¹¹Because they had rebelled against the words of ùGod, and had despised the counsel of the Most High; ...

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

¹²And he bowed down their heart with labour; they stumbled, and there was none to help:

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

¹³Then they cried unto Jehovah 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 broke their bands in sunder.

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

¹⁵Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous 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 bronze, and cut asunder the bars of iron.

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

¹⁷Fools, because of their way of 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 food, and they draw near unto the gates of death:

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

¹⁹Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, [and] he saveth them out of their distresses;

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

²⁰He sendeth his word, and healeth them, and delivereth them from their destructions.

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

²¹Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous 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 offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works in joyful song.

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 Jehovah, and his wonders in the deep.

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

²⁵For he speaketh, 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 heavens, they go down 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 they are at their wits' end:

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

²⁸Then they cry unto Jehovah 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, and the waves thereof are still:

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

³⁰And they rejoice because they are quiet; and he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

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

³¹Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous 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 session of the elders.

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

³³He maketh rivers into a wilderness, and water-springs into dry ground;

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

³⁴A fruitful land into a plain of salt, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

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

³⁵He maketh the wilderness into a pool of water, and the dry land into water-springs;

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

³⁶And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, and they establish a city of habitation;

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

³⁷And sow fields, and plant vineyards, which yield fruits of increase;

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

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

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

³⁹And they are diminished and brought low, through oppression, adversity, and sorrow:

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

⁴⁰He poureth contempt upon nobles, and causeth them to wander in a pathless waste;

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

⁴¹But he secureth the needy one on high from affliction, and maketh [him] families like flocks.

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

⁴²The upright shall see it, and rejoice; and all unrighteousness shall stop its mouth.

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

⁴³Whoso is wise, let him observe these things, and let them understand the loving-kindnesses of Jehovah.

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