ਜ਼ਬੂਰ 66
[Tell] everyone on the earth that they should sing joyfully to praise God!
They should sing songs that say that God [MTY] is very great, and they should tell everyone that he is very glorious!
3 ੩ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਨੂੰ ਆਖੋ, ਵਾਹ, ਤੇਰੇ ਕੰਮ ਕੇਡੇ ਡਰਾਉਣੇ ਹਨ! ਤੇਰੀ ਮਹਾਂ ਸਮਰੱਥਾ ਦੇ ਕਾਰਨ ਤੇਰੇ ਵੈਰੀ ਤੇਰੇ ਅੱਗੇ ਹਿਚਕ ਕੇ ਆਉਣਗੇ!
They should say to God, “The things that you do are awesome! You are very powerful, with the result that your enemies (cringe/bow down) in front of you.”
Everyone on the earth [should] worship God and sing to praise him and honor him [MTY].
Come and think about what God has done! Think about the awesome things that he has done.
6 ੬ ਉਹ ਨੇ ਸਮੁੰਦਰ ਨੂੰ ਥਲ ਬਣਾ ਦਿੱਤਾ, ਓਹ ਦਰਿਆ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਸੁੱਕੇ ਪੈਰੀਂ ਲੰਘ ਗਏ, ਉੱਥੇ ਅਸੀਂ ਉਹ ਦੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਨਿਹਾਲ ਹੋਏ।
He caused the [Red] Sea to become dry land, [with the result that our] ancestors were able to walk right through it. There we rejoiced because of what he [had done].
7 ੭ ਉਹ ਆਪਣੀ ਸਮਰੱਥਾ ਨਾਲ ਸਦਾ ਤੱਕ ਰਾਜ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ, ਉਹ ਦੀਆਂ ਅੱਖਾਂ ਕੌਮਾਂ ਵੱਲ ਲੱਗੀਆਂ ਰਹਿੰਦੀਆਂ ਹਨ, ਆਕੀ ਲੋਕ ਸਿਰ ਨਾ ਚੁੱਕਣਗੇ!। ਸਲਹ।
By his great power he rules forever, and he keeps watching all the nations [to see what things they do], [so] those nations that want to rebel [against him] should not be proud.
You people [of all nations], praise our God! Praise him loudly in order that people will hear you as you praise him.
He has kept us alive, and he has not allowed us to (stumble/be defeated).
God, you have tested us; you have allowed us to experience great difficulties [to make our lives become pure] as [people] put precious metals in a hot fire [to burn out what is impure] [MET].
[It is as if] you allowed us to fall into traps [MET], and you [forced us to endure difficult things which were like] putting heavy loads on our backs [MET].
12 ੧੨ ਤੂੰ ਮਨੁੱਖਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਸਾਡੇ ਸਿਰਾਂ ਉੱਤੇ ਚੜ੍ਹਾ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਹੈ, ਅਸੀਂ ਅੱਗ ਅਤੇ ਪਾਣੀ ਦੇ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਦੀ ਲੰਘੇ, ਪਰ ਤੂੰ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਭਰਿਆ ਥਾਵਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਪਹੁੰਚਾ ਦਿੱਤਾ।
You allowed [our] enemies to trample on us; we [experienced difficulties/troubles that were like] [MET] walking through fires and floods, but now you have brought us into a place where we have plenty.
[Yahweh], I will bring to your temple offerings that are to be completely burned [on the altar]; I will offer to you what I promised.
When I was experiencing [much] trouble, I said that I would bring offerings to you [if you rescued me]; [and you did rescue me, so] I will bring to you what I promised.
I will bring sheep to be burned on the altar, and I will [also] sacrifice bulls and goats, and when they are burning, [you will be pleased when] the smoke [rises up] ([to you/to the sky]).
16 ੧੬ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਦਾ ਭੈਅ ਰੱਖਣ ਵਾਲਿਓ, ਆਓ, ਸੁਣੋ, ਅਤੇ ਮੈਂ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਦੱਸਾਂਗਾ ਕਿ ਉਹ ਨੇ ਮੇਰੀ ਜਾਨ ਲਈ ਕੀ ਕੁਝ ਕੀਤਾ ਹੈ।
All you [people] who revere God, come and listen, and I will tell you what he has done for me.
I called out to him to help me, and I praised him while I was speaking to him [MTY].
If I had ignored the sins that I had committed, the Lord would not have paid any attention to me.
But because [I confessed my sins], God has listened to me and he paid attention to my prayers.
I praise God because he has not ignored my prayers or stopped faithfully loving me.
