7 Bernyanyilah bagi TUHAN dengan nyanyian syukur, bermazmurlah bagi Allah kita dengan kecapi!
Sing to Jehovah with thanksgiving. Sing praises upon the harp to our God,
8 Dia, yang menutupi langit dengan awan-awan, yang menyediakan hujan bagi bumi, yang membuat gunung-gunung menumbuhkan rumput.
who covers the heavens with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow upon the mountains.
9 Dia, yang memberi makanan kepada hewan, kepada anak-anak burung gagak, yang memanggil-manggil.
He gives to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
10 Ia tidak suka kepada kegagahan kuda, Ia tidak senang kepada kaki laki-laki;

He shows his word to Jacob, his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.
20 Ia tidak berbuat demikian kepada segala bangsa, dan hukum-hukum-Nya tidak mereka kenal. Haleluya!
He has not dealt so with any nation. And as for his ordinances, they have not known them. Praise ye Jehovah.
