< Psalms 111 >
1 Hallelujah! I will celebrate Jehovah with [my] whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the assembly.
Pujilah TUHAN! Dengan segenap hati aku bersyukur kepada TUHAN di tengah himpunan umat-Nya.
2 Great are the works of Jehovah; sought out of all that delight in them.
Sungguh ajaib perbuatan-perbuatan TUHAN, layak diselidiki oleh orang-orang yang menyukainya.
3 His work is majesty and splendour, and his righteousness abideth for ever.
Pekerjaan TUHAN agung dan terpuji, keadilan-Nya kekal abadi.
4 He hath made his wonders to be remembered: Jehovah is gracious and merciful.
TUHAN itu pengasih dan penyayang, Ia melakukan perbuatan-perbuatan yang mengagumkan, supaya kita tetap mengingatnya.
5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant.
Ia memberi rezeki kepada orang yang takwa, dan selalu ingat akan perjanjian-Nya.
6 He hath shewn his people the power of his works, to give them the heritage of the nations.
Ia telah menunjukkan kuasa-Nya kepada umat-Nya, dengan memberi mereka tanah pusaka bangsa-bangsa.
7 The works of his hands are truth and judgment; all his precepts are faithful:
TUHAN adil dan setia dalam segala tindakan-Nya, segala perintah-Nya dapat diandalkan.
8 Maintained for ever and ever, done in truth and uprightness.
Hukum-Nya bertahan sepanjang masa, diberikan dalam kebenaran dan keadilan.
9 He sent deliverance unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and terrible is his name.
Ia membebaskan umat-Nya, dan mengadakan perjanjian kekal dengan mereka. Dialah TUHAN yang kudus dan perkasa!
10 The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do [his precepts]: his praise abideth for ever.
Barangsiapa ingin menjadi bijaksana harus menghormati TUHAN, Ia memberi pengertian kepada semua orang yang taat. Terpujilah TUHAN sepanjang masa!
