1 ഞങ്ങൾക്കല്ല യഹോവേ, ഞങ്ങൾക്കല്ല; അവിടത്തെ അചഞ്ചലസ്നേഹവും വിശ്വസ്തതയുംനിമിത്തം തിരുനാമത്തിനുതന്നെ മഹത്ത്വം ഉണ്ടാകട്ടെ.
౧దావీదు కీర్తన మాకు కాదు యెహోవా, మాకు కాదు. నీ నిబంధన విశ్వాస్యత, అధారపడ దగిన నీ గుణాన్ని బట్టి నీ నామానికే మహిమ కలుగు గాక.
2 ജനതകളെക്കൊണ്ട് “അവരുടെ ദൈവം എവിടെ,” എന്നു ചോദിപ്പിക്കുന്നതെന്തിന്?
౨వారి దేవుడు ఎక్కడ, అని అన్యజాతులు ఎందుకు చెప్పుకుంటున్నారు?
3 ഞങ്ങളുടെ ദൈവം സ്വർഗത്തിലുണ്ട്; അവിടന്ന് തനിക്ക് ഇഷ്ടമുള്ളതൊക്കെയും ചെയ്യുന്നു.
౩మా దేవుడు ఆకాశంలో ఉన్నాడు. తన ఇష్టప్రకారం సమస్తాన్నీ ఆయన చేస్తున్నాడు
4 എന്നാൽ അവരുടെ വിഗ്രഹങ്ങൾ വെള്ളിയും സ്വർണവുമാണ്; മനുഷ്യകരങ്ങളാൽ നിർമിതവുമാണ്.
౪వారి విగ్రహాలు వెండి బంగారువి. అవి మనుష్యుల చేతిపనులు.
5 അവയ്ക്കു വായുണ്ട്, എന്നാൽ സംസാരിക്കാൻ കഴിയുന്നില്ല; കണ്ണുണ്ട്, എന്നാൽ കാണാൻ കഴിയുന്നില്ല.
౫వాటికి నోరుండి కూడా పలకవు. కళ్ళుండి కూడా చూడవు.
6 അവയ്ക്ക് കാതുണ്ട്, എന്നാൽ കേൾക്കാൻ കഴിയുന്നില്ല; മൂക്കുണ്ട് എങ്കിലും മണക്കുന്നില്ല.
౬చెవులుండి కూడా వినవు. ముక్కులుండి కూడా వాసన చూడవు.
7 അവയ്ക്കു കൈയുണ്ട്, എങ്കിലും സ്പർശിക്കുന്നില്ല; കാലുണ്ട്, എങ്കിലും നടക്കുന്നില്ല; തൊണ്ടകൊണ്ട് സംസാരിക്കുന്നതിനും അവയ്ക്കു കഴിവില്ല.
౭చేతులుండి కూడా ముట్టుకోవు. పాదాలుండి కూడా నడవవు. గొంతుకతో మాటలాడవు.
8 അവയെ നിർമിക്കുന്നവർ അവയെപ്പോലെയാകുന്നു, അവയിൽ ആശ്രയിക്കുന്ന എല്ലാവരും അങ്ങനെതന്നെ.
౮వాటిని చేసే వారు, వాటిపై నమ్మిక ఉంచే వారు వాటివంటి వారే.
9 ഇസ്രായേലേ, യഹോവയിൽ ആശ്രയിക്കുക— അവിടന്ന് അവരുടെ സഹായവും പരിചയും ആകുന്നു.
౯ఇశ్రాయేలీయులారా, యెహోవాపై నమ్మకం ఉంచండి. ఆయన వారికి సహాయం, వారికి కవచం.
10 അഹരോൻഗൃഹമേ, യഹോവയിൽ ആശ്രയിക്കുക— അവിടന്ന് അവരുടെ സഹായവും പരിചയും ആകുന്നു.
౧౦అహరోను వంశస్థులారా, యెహోవాపై నమ్మకం ఉంచండి. ఆయన వారికి సహాయం, వారి కవచం.
11 യഹോവയെ ഭയപ്പെടുന്ന എല്ലാവരുമേ, യഹോവയിൽ ആശ്രയിക്കുക— അവിടന്ന് അവരുടെ സഹായവും പരിചയും ആകുന്നു.
౧౧యెహోవా పట్ల భయభక్తులున్న వారంతా యెహోవాపై నమ్మిక ఉంచండి. ఆయన వారికి సహాయం, వారికి డాలు.
12 യഹോവ നമ്മെ ഓർക്കുകയും അനുഗ്രഹിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യും: അവിടന്ന് ഇസ്രായേൽഗൃഹത്തെ അനുഗ്രഹിക്കും അവിടന്ന് അഹരോൻഗൃഹത്തെ അനുഗ്രഹിക്കും
౧౨యెహోవా మమ్మల్ని మర్చిపోలేదు. ఆయన మమ్మల్ని ఆశీర్వదిస్తాడు. ఆయన ఇశ్రాయేలీయులను ఆశీర్వదిస్తాడు. అహరోను వంశస్థులనాశీర్వదిస్తాడు.
13 യഹോവയെ ഭയപ്പെടുന്ന എല്ലാവരെയും അവിടന്ന് അനുഗ്രഹിക്കും— ചെറിയവരെയും വലിയവരെയും ഒരുപോലെതന്നെ.
౧౩పిన్నలనేమి, పెద్దలనేమి తన పట్ల భయభక్తులు గల వారిని యెహోవా ఆశీర్వదిస్తాడు.
14 യഹോവ നിങ്ങളെ വർധിപ്പിക്കട്ടെ; നിങ്ങളെയും നിങ്ങളുടെ മക്കളെയുംതന്നെ.
౧౪యెహోవా మిమ్మల్ని, మీ పిల్లలను వృద్ధి పొందిస్తాడు.
15 ആകാശവും ഭൂമിയും നിർമിച്ച യഹോവയാൽ നിങ്ങൾ അനുഗ്രഹിക്കപ്പെടുമാറാകട്ടെ.
౧౫భూమ్యాకాశాలను సృష్టించిన యెహోవా చేత మీరు దీవెన పొందారు.
16 സ്വർഗം യഹോവയുടേതാകുന്നു, എന്നാൽ ഭൂമി അവിടന്ന് മനുഷ്യർക്കു നൽകിയിരിക്കുന്നു.
౧౬ఆకాశాలు యెహోవా వశం. భూమిని ఆయన మనుషులకు ఇచ్చాడు.
17 മരിച്ചവരാരും യഹോവയെ വാഴ്ത്തുന്നില്ല, നിശ്ശബ്ദതയിൽ ആണ്ടുപോയവരും അങ്ങനെതന്നെ;
౧౭మృతులు, మౌనస్థితిలోకి దిగిపోయే వారు యెహోవాను స్తుతించరు.
18 എന്നാൽ നാമാണ് യഹോവയെ പുകഴ്ത്തുന്നത്, ഇന്നും എന്നെന്നേക്കും. യഹോവയെ വാഴ്ത്തുക.
౧౮మేమైతే ఇప్పటినుండి నిత్యం యెహోవాను స్తుతిస్తాము. యెహోవాను స్తుతించండి.
