< സങ്കീർത്തനങ്ങൾ 103 >
1 ദാവീദിന്റെ ഒരു സങ്കീർത്തനം. എൻ മനമേ, യഹോവയെ വാഴ്ത്തുക; എന്റെ സർവാന്തരംഗവുമേ, അവിടത്തെ വിശുദ്ധനാമത്തെ വാഴ്ത്തുക.
౧దావీదు కీర్తన. నా ప్రాణమా, యెహోవాను స్తుతించు. నా అంతరంగమా, ఆయన పవిత్ర నామాన్ని స్తుతించు.
2 എൻ മനമേ, യഹോവയെ വാഴ്ത്തുക; അവിടത്തെ ഉപകാരങ്ങളൊന്നും മറക്കരുത്—
౨నా ప్రాణమా, యెహోవాను స్తుతించు, ఆయన చేసిన ఉపకారాలన్నీ మరచిపోవద్దు.
3 അവിടന്നു നിന്റെ സകലപാപങ്ങളും ക്ഷമിക്കുന്നു നിന്റെ സർവരോഗത്തിനും സൗഖ്യമേകുന്നു.
౩ఆయన నీ పాపాలన్నీ క్షమిస్తాడు. నీ జబ్బులన్నీ బాగుచేస్తాడు.
4 അവിടന്നു നിന്റെ ജീവനെ പാതാളത്തിൽനിന്ന് വീണ്ടെടുക്കുകയും നിന്നെ സ്നേഹവും മനസ്സലിവുംകൊണ്ട് മകുടമണിയിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നു,
౪నాశనాన్నుంచి నీ ప్రాణాన్ని విడుదల చేస్తాడు. కృప, వాత్సల్యం నీకు కిరీటంగా ఉంచాడు.
5 നിന്റെ യുവത്വം കഴുകനെപ്പോലെ നവീകരിക്കപ്പെടേണ്ടതിന് അവിടന്ന് നിന്റെ ജീവിതം നന്മകൊണ്ട് സംതൃപ്തമാക്കുന്നു.
౫నీ యవ్వనం గరుడ పక్షిలాగా కొత్తదనం సంతరించుకున్నట్టు మేలైన వాటితో నీ జీవితాన్ని తృప్తిపరుస్తాడు.
6 പീഡിതരായ എല്ലാവർക്കുംവേണ്ടി യഹോവ നീതിയും ന്യായവും ഉറപ്പാക്കുന്നു.
౬యెహోవా న్యాయమైన దాన్ని జరిగిస్తాడు. అణగారిన వారందరికీ న్యాయం చేస్తాడు.
7 അവിടന്നു തന്റെ വഴികളെ മോശയ്ക്കും തന്റെ പ്രവൃത്തികളെ ഇസ്രായേൽജനതയ്ക്കും വെളിപ്പെടുത്തി:
౭ఆయన మోషేకు తన విధానాలూ ఇశ్రాయేలు వంశస్థులకు తన కార్యాలూ తెలియచేశాడు.
8 യഹോവ കരുണാമയനും ആർദ്രഹൃദയനും ക്ഷമാശീലനും സ്നേഹസമ്പന്നനും ആകുന്നു.
౮యెహోవా దయాళువు, కృపాభరితుడు. ఆయన సహనశీలి, నిబంధన సంబంధమైన నమ్మకత్వం ఆయనలో ఉంది.
9 അവിടന്നു സദാ കുറ്റപ്പെടുത്തുന്നില്ല, അവിടത്തെ കോപം എന്നേക്കും നിലനിർത്തുകയുമില്ല.
౯ఆయన ఎప్పుడూ అదుపులో పెట్టేవాడు కాదు. ఆయన అస్తమానం కోపంగా ఉండడు.
10 അവിടന്നു നമ്മുടെ പാപങ്ങൾക്കൊത്തവണ്ണം നമ്മെ ശിക്ഷിക്കുന്നില്ല; നമ്മുടെ അനീതികൾക്കനുസൃതമായി പകരം ചെയ്യുന്നതുമില്ല.
౧౦మన పాపాలకు తగినట్టు ఆయన మనతో వ్యవహరించలేదు. మన పాపాలకు సరిపోయినంతగా మనకు ప్రతీకారం చేయలేదు.
11 ആകാശം ഭൂമിക്കുമേൽ ഉയർന്നിരിക്കുന്നതുപോലെ, തന്നെ ഭയപ്പെടുന്നവരോടുള്ള അവിടത്തെ സ്നേഹം ഉന്നതമാണ്.
౧౧భూమికంటే ఆకాశం ఎంత ఉన్నతమో తనను గౌరవించేవారి పట్ల ఆయన కృప అంత ఉన్నతం.
12 കിഴക്ക് പടിഞ്ഞാറിൽനിന്നും അകന്നിരിക്കുന്നത്ര അകലത്തിൽ, അവിടന്ന് നമ്മുടെ ലംഘനങ്ങളെ നമ്മിൽനിന്നും അകറ്റിയിരിക്കുന്നു.
౧౨పడమటికి తూర్పు ఎంత దూరమో ఆయన మన పాపాల అపరాధ భావన కూడా మననుంచి అంత దూరం చేశాడు.
13 ഒരു പിതാവിനു തന്റെ മക്കളോടു മനസ്സലിവു തോന്നുന്നതുപോലെതന്നെ, യഹോവയ്ക്ക് തന്നെ ഭയപ്പെടുന്നവരോടു മനസ്സലിവു തോന്നുന്നു;
౧౩తండ్రి తన పిల్లలను జాలితో చూసినట్టు, యెహోవా తనను గౌరవించే వాళ్ళను జాలితో చూసుకుంటాడు.
14 കാരണം അവിടന്ന് നമ്മുടെ പ്രകൃതി അറിയുന്നു; നാം പൊടിയെന്ന് അവിടന്ന് ഓർക്കുന്നു.
౧౪మనం ఎలా సృష్టి అయ్యామో ఆయనకు తెలుసు, మనం మట్టి అని ఆయనకు తెలుసు.
15 മനുഷ്യായുസ്സ് പുല്ലിനു സമമാകുന്നു, വയലിലെ പൂപോലെ അതു തഴയ്ക്കുന്നു;
౧౫మనిషి రోజులు గడ్డి మొక్కలాంటివి. పొలంలో పూసే పువ్వులాగా అతడు పూస్తాడు.
16 അതിന്മേൽ കാറ്റടിക്കുന്നു, അതു വിസ്മൃതമാകുന്നു, അതു നിന്നയിടംപോലും പിന്നെയത് ഓർക്കുന്നില്ല.
౧౬దానిమీద గాలి వీస్తే అది ఇక ఉండదు.
17 എന്നാൽ, യഹോവയുടെ സ്നേഹം തന്നെ ഭയപ്പെടുന്നവരുടെമേൽ നിതാന്തകാലം നിലനിൽക്കും അവിടത്തെ നീതി അവരുടെ മക്കളുടെ മക്കൾക്കും ഉണ്ടാകും—
౧౭యెహోవాను గౌరవించే వారి పట్ల ఆయన కృప తరతరాలకూ ఉంటుంది. ఆయన నీతి వారి వారసులకు కొనసాగుతుంది.
18 അവിടത്തെ ഉടമ്പടികൾ പാലിക്കുകയും അവിടത്തെ പ്രമാണങ്ങൾ ഓർത്ത് അനുസരിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നവരുടെമേൽതന്നെ.
౧౮వాళ్ళు ఆయన నిబంధన పాటిస్తారు. ఆయన ఆదేశాలను మనసులో ఉంచుకుంటారు.
19 യഹോവ തന്റെ സിംഹാസനം സ്വർഗത്തിൽ സ്ഥാപിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു, സകലതും അവിടത്തെ ആധിപത്യത്തിൻകീഴിലാകുന്നു.
౧౯యెహోవా పరలోకంలో తన సింహాసనాన్ని సుస్థిరం చేశాడు. ఆయన రాజ్యం అందరినీ పాలిస్తూ ఉంది.
20 അവിടത്തെ അരുളപ്പാടുകൾ ശ്രവിച്ച്, അവിടത്തെ ആജ്ഞകൾ നിറവേറ്റുന്ന ദൂതന്മാരേ, ശക്തരായ ദൂതന്മാരേ, യഹോവയെ വാഴ്ത്തുക.
౨౦యెహోవా దూతలారా, ఆయన ఆజ్ఞకు లోబడి ఆయన మాట వినే బలాశాలురైన మీరంతా, ఆయనను స్తుతించండి.
21 അവിടത്തെ ഹിതം അനുഷ്ഠിക്കുന്ന സകലസേവകവൃന്ദമേ, സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവയെ വാഴ്ത്തുക.
౨౧యెహోవా సేనలారా, ఆయన సంకల్పం నెరవేర్చే సేవకులైన మీరంతా ఆయనను స్తుతించండి.
22 അവിടത്തെ ആധിപത്യത്തിലെങ്ങുമുള്ള സകലസൃഷ്ടികളുമേ, യഹോവയെ വാഴ്ത്തുക. എൻ മനമേ, യഹോവയെ വാഴ്ത്തുക.
౨౨యెహోవా చేసిన జీవులారా, ఆయనను స్తుతించండి. ఆయన రాజ్యంలోని ప్రతి ప్రదేశంలో ఉన్న మీరంతా ఆయనను స్తుతించండి. నా ప్రాణమా, యెహోవాను స్తుతించు.
