¹⁵ 只是你仗著自己的美貌，又因你的名聲就行邪淫。你縱情淫亂，使過路的任意而行。

¹ 你們要讚美耶和華！因歌頌我們的神為善為美；讚美的話是合宜的。

² 耶和華建造耶路撒冷，聚集以色列中被趕散的人。

³ 他醫好傷心的人，裹好他們的傷處。

⁴ 他數點星宿的數目，一一稱他的名。

⁵ 我們的主為大，最有能力；他的智慧無法測度。

⁶ 耶和華扶持謙卑人，將惡人傾覆於地。

⁷ 你們要以感謝向耶和華歌唱，用琴向我們的神歌頌。

⁸ 他用雲遮天，為地降雨，使草生長在山上。

⁹ 他賜食給走獸和啼叫的小烏鴉。

¹⁰ 他不喜悅馬的力大，不喜愛人的腿快。

¹¹ 耶和華喜愛敬畏他和盼望他慈愛的人。

¹² 耶路撒冷啊，你要頌讚耶和華！錫安哪，你要讚美你的神！

¹³ 因為他堅固了你的門閂，賜福給你中間的兒女。

¹⁴ 他使你境內平安，用上好的麥子使你滿足。

¹⁵ 他發命在地；他的話頒行最快。

¹⁶ 他降雪如羊毛，撒霜如爐灰。

¹⁷ 他擲下冰雹如碎渣；他發出寒冷，誰能當得起呢？

¹⁸ 他一出令，這些就都消化；他使風颳起，水便流動。

¹⁹ 他將他的道指示雅各，將他的律例典章指示以色列。

²⁰ 別國他都沒有這樣待過；至於他的典章，他們向來沒有知道。你們要讚美耶和華！

¹ Yahweh spoke to Moses, "Depart, go up from here, you and the people that you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, 'I will give it to your seed.'

² I will send an angel before you; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:

³ to a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of you, for you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you in the way."

⁴ When the people heard this evil news, they mourned: and no one put on his jewelry.

⁵ Yahweh said to Moses, "Tell the children of Israel, 'You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go up into your midst for one moment, I would consume you. Therefore now take off your jewelry from you, that I may know what to do to you.'"

⁶ The children of Israel stripped themselves of their jewelry from Mount Horeb onward.

⁷ Now Moses used to take the tent and to pitch it outside the camp, far away from the camp, and he called it "The tent of Meeting." It happened that everyone who sought Yahweh went out to the tent of Meeting, which was outside the camp.

⁸ It happened that when Moses went out to the Tent, that all the people rose up, and stood, everyone at their Tent door, and watched Moses, until he had gone into the Tent.

⁹ It happened, when Moses entered into the Tent, that the pillar of cloud descended, stood at the door of the Tent, and spoke with Moses.

¹⁰ All the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the Tent, and all the people rose up and worshiped, everyone at their Tent door.

¹¹ Yahweh spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. He turned again into the camp, but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, didn't depart out of the Tent.

¹² Moses said to Yahweh, "Behold, you tell me, 'Bring up this people:' and you haven't let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, 'I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.'

¹³ Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show me now your ways, that I may know you, so that I may find favor in your sight: and consider that this nation is your people."

¹⁴ He said, "My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."

¹⁵ He said to him, "If your presence doesn't go with me, don't carry us up from here.

¹⁶ For how would people know that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Isn't it in that you go with us, so that we are separated, I and your people, from all the people who are on the surface of the earth?"

¹⁷ Yahweh said to Moses, "I will do this thing also that you have spoken; for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name."

¹⁸ He said, "Please show me your glory."

¹⁹ He said, "I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of Yahweh before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy."

²⁰ He said, "You cannot see my face, for man may not see me and live."

²¹ Yahweh also said, "Behold, there is a place by me, and you shall stand on the rock.

²² It will happen, while my glory passes by, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and will cover you with my hand until I have passed by;

²³ then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back; but my face shall not be seen."
