2 TUHAN membangun Yerusalem, Ia mengumpulkan orang-orang Israel yang tercerai-berai;
The Lord builds up Jerusalem. He will gather together the dispersed of Israel.

Great is our Lord, and great is his virtue. And of his wisdom, there is no number.
6 TUHAN menegakkan kembali orang-orang yang tertindas, tetapi merendahkan orang-orang fasik sampai ke bumi.
The Lord lifts up the meek, but he brings down the sinner, even to the ground.
7 Bernyanyilah bagi TUHAN dengan nyanyian syukur, bermazmurlah bagi Allah kita dengan kecapi!
Sing before the Lord with confession. Play psalms to our God on a stringed instrument.
8 Dia, yang menutupi langit dengan awan-awan, yang menyediakan hujan bagi bumi, yang membuat gunung-gunung menumbuhkan rumput.

He will send forth his word, and it will melt them. His Spirit will breathe out, and the waters will flow.
19 Ia memberitakan firman-Nya kepada Yakub, ketetapan-ketetapan-Nya dan hukum-hukum-Nya kepada Israel.
He announces his word to Jacob, his justices and his judgments to Israel.
