1Praise Yah, for it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant and fitting to praise him.
1Pujilah TUHAN! Sebab baiklah memuji Dia, dan menyenangkan untuk menyanyikan pujian bagi-Nya!
2Yahweh builds up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
2TUHAN akan memulihkan Yerusalem; orang-orang buangan akan dibawa-Nya pulang.
3He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.
3Ia menyembuhkan orang yang patah hati, dan membalut luka-luka mereka.
4He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by their names.
4Ia menentukan jumlah bintang di angkasa, dan masing-masing diberi-Nya nama.
5Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite.
5Sungguh besar dan hebat TUHAN kita, kebijaksanaan-Nya tidak terhingga.
6Yahweh upholds the humble. He brings the wicked down to the ground.
6Ia menegakkan orang yang tertindas, tetapi orang jahat dicampakkan-Nya ke tanah.
7Sing to Yahweh with thanksgiving. Sing praises on the harp to our God,
7Nyanyikanlah puji-pujian bagi TUHAN, mainkanlah kecapi bagi Allah kita.
8who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass grow on the mountains.
8Dialah yang membentangkan awan di langit; Ia menyediakan hujan bagi bumi, dan membuat rumput tumbuh di bukit.
9He provides food for the livestock, and for the young ravens when they call.
9Ia memberi makanan kepada hewan, dan kepada anak burung gagak yang memanggil-manggil.
10He doesn’t delight in the strength of the horse. He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.
10Kesukaan TUHAN bukanlah kuda yang kuat; bukan juga pejuang yang berani.
11Yahweh takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his loving kindness.
11TUHAN senang kepada orang yang takwa, kepada orang yang tetap mengharapkan kasih-Nya.
12Praise Yahweh, Jerusalem! Praise your God, Zion!
12Pujilah TUHAN, hai Yerusalem! Pujilah Allahmu, hai Sion!
13For he has strengthened the bars of your gates. He has blessed your children within you.
13Sebab Ia mengukuhkan pintu-pintu gerbangmu, dan memberkati pendudukmu.
14He makes peace in your borders. He fills you with the finest of the wheat.
14Ia menjaga daerahmu supaya tetap aman, dan mengenyangkan engkau dengan gandum yang terbaik.
15He sends out his commandment to the earth. His word runs very swiftly.
15Ia memberi perintah kepada bumi, dan perkataan-Nya segera dilakukan.
16He gives snow like wool, and scatters frost like ashes.
16Ia menurunkan salju seperti kapas, dan menghamburkan embun beku seperti abu.
17He hurls down his hail like pebbles. Who can stand before his cold?
17Ia menurunkan hujan es seperti kerikil; tak ada yang tahan menghadapi dinginnya.
18He sends out his word, and melts them. He causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
18Lalu atas perintah-Nya es itu mencair; Ia meniupkan angin, maka air pun mengalir.
19He shows his word to Jacob; his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.
19Ia menyampaikan pesan-Nya kepada umat-Nya, ketetapan dan hukum-Nya kepada umat pilihan-Nya.
20He has not done this for just any nation. They don’t know his ordinances. Praise Yah!
20Ia tidak berbuat begitu kepada bangsa-bangsa lain, mereka tidak mengenal hukum-hukum-Nya. Pujilah TUHAN!
