< Mazmur 111 >
1 Pujilah TUHAN! Dengan segenap hati aku bersyukur kepada TUHAN di tengah himpunan umat-Nya.
Praise ye the LORD! I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, In the assembly of the righteous, and in the congregation.
2 Sungguh ajaib perbuatan-perbuatan TUHAN, layak diselidiki oleh orang-orang yang menyukainya.
The works of the LORD are great, Sought out by all who have pleasure in them.
3 Pekerjaan TUHAN agung dan terpuji, keadilan-Nya kekal abadi.
His deeds are honorable and glorious, And his righteousness endureth for ever.
4 TUHAN itu pengasih dan penyayang, Ia melakukan perbuatan-perbuatan yang mengagumkan, supaya kita tetap mengingatnya.
He hath established a memorial of his wonders; The LORD is gracious and full of compassion.
5 Ia memberi rezeki kepada orang yang takwa, dan selalu ingat akan perjanjian-Nya.
He giveth meat to them that fear him; He is ever mindful of his covenant.
6 Ia telah menunjukkan kuasa-Nya kepada umat-Nya, dengan memberi mereka tanah pusaka bangsa-bangsa.
He showed his people the greatness of his works, When he gave them the inheritance of the heathen.
7 TUHAN adil dan setia dalam segala tindakan-Nya, segala perintah-Nya dapat diandalkan.
The deeds of his hands are truth and justice; All his commandments are sure;
8 Hukum-Nya bertahan sepanjang masa, diberikan dalam kebenaran dan keadilan.
They stand firm for ever and ever, Being founded in truth and justice.
9 Ia membebaskan umat-Nya, dan mengadakan perjanjian kekal dengan mereka. Dialah TUHAN yang kudus dan perkasa!
He sent redemption to his people; He established his covenant for ever; Holy, and to be had in reverence, is his name.
10 Barangsiapa ingin menjadi bijaksana harus menghormati TUHAN, Ia memberi pengertian kepada semua orang yang taat. Terpujilah TUHAN sepanjang masa!
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all they who keep his commandments; His praise endureth for ever.
