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 upright, 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 them that have pleasure in them.
3 Pekerjaan TUHAN agung dan terpuji, keadilan-Nya kekal abadi.
His work [is] 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 made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD [is] gracious and full of compassion.
5 Ia memberi rezeki kepada orang yang takwa, dan selalu ingat akan perjanjian-Nya.
He hath given food to them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

The works of his hands [are] verity and judgment; all his commandments [are] sure.
8 Hukum-Nya bertahan sepanjang masa, diberikan dalam kebenaran dan keadilan.
They stand fast for ever and ever, [and are] done in truth and uprightness.
9 Ia membebaskan umat-Nya, dan mengadakan perjanjian kekal dengan mereka. Dialah TUHAN yang kudus dan perkasa!

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 that do [his commandments]: his praise endureth for ever.
