ਜ਼ਬੂਰ 89
1 ੧ ਏਥਾਨ ਅਜ਼ਰਾ ਵੰਸ਼ੀ ਦਾ ਮਸ਼ਕੀਲ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦੀਆਂ ਮਿਹਰਬਾਨੀਆਂ ਦੇ ਗੀਤ ਮੈਂ ਸਦਾ ਗਾਵਾਂਗਾ, ਮੈਂ ਤੇਰੀ ਵਫ਼ਾਦਾਰੀ ਸਾਰੀਆਂ ਪੀੜ੍ਹੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਆਪਣੇ ਮੂੰਹੋਂ ਸਮਝਾਵਾਂਗਾ।
A psalm (maskil) of Ethan the Ezraite I will sing of the Lord's trustworthy love forever; I will tell all generations of your faithfulness.
For I have said, “Your unfailing love lasts forever; your faithfulness endures as long as the heavens.”
You said, “I have made an agreement with my chosen one, I gave a binding promise to my servant David:
4 ੪ ਕਿ ਮੈਂ ਤੇਰੀ ਅੰਸ ਨੂੰ ਸਦਾ ਤੱਕ ਕਾਇਮ ਰੱਖਾਂਗਾ, ਅਤੇ ਤੇਰੀ ਰਾਜ ਗੱਦੀ ਨੂੰ ਪੀੜ੍ਹੀਓਂ ਪੀੜ੍ਹੀ ਬਣਾਈ ਰੱਖਾਂਗਾ। ਸਲਹ।
I will make sure your lineage lasts forever; I will keep your throne secure for all generations.” (Selah)
All the heavenly beings will sing of the wonderful things you have done, Lord; angels will gather to sing of your faithfulness.
For who in heaven can compare to the Lord? Who is like the Lord even among the angels?
The heavenly council are in awe of God; all who surround him are overwhelmed by him.
8 ੮ ਹੇ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ, ਸੈਨਾਂ ਦੇ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ, ਹੇ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ, ਤੇਰੇ ਤੁੱਲ ਸ਼ਕਤੀਮਾਨ ਕੌਣ ਹੈ? ਤੇਰੀ ਵਫ਼ਾਦਾਰੀ ਤੇਰੇ ਆਲੇ-ਦੁਆਲੇ ਹੈ,
Lord God Almighty, who is as powerful as you? In all this, Lord, you are completely trustworthy.
9 ੯ ਤੂੰ ਹੀ ਸਮੁੰਦਰ ਦੇ ਉਛਾਲ ਉੱਤੇ ਹਕੂਮਤ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈਂ, ਜਾਂ ਉਹ ਦੀਆਂ ਠਾਠਾਂ ਉੱਠ ਪੈਂਦੀਆਂ ਹਨ, ਤਾਂ ਤੂੰ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਥੰਮ੍ਹ ਦਿੰਦਾ ਹੈਂ।
You rule the restless seas; you calm their stormy waves.
10 ੧੦ ਤੂੰ ਰਹਬ ਨੂੰ ਕਿਸੇ ਵੱਢੇ ਹੋਏ ਵਾਂਗੂੰ ਚੂਰ-ਚੂਰ ਕਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਹੈ, ਅਤੇ ਆਪਣੀਆਂ ਬਾਂਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਬਲ ਨਾਲ ਤੂੰ ਆਪਣੇ ਵੈਰੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਛਿੰਨ ਭਿੰਨ ਕਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਹੈ!
You crushed Rahab the sea-monster to death; by your power you scattered your enemies.
The heavens belong to you, and the earth too; you made the world and everything in it.
You created north and south; Mount Tabor and Mount Hermon celebrate you.
Your arm is powerful. Your hand is strong. Your right hand is held up high in command.
Your character of goodness and fairness is the basis for the way you rule; dependable love and trustworthiness are always with you.
15 ੧੫ ਧੰਨ ਓਹ ਲੋਕ ਹਨ ਜਿਹੜੇ ਅਨੰਦ ਦੀ ਲਲਕਾਰ ਦੇ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਨੂੰ ਜਾਣਦੇ ਹਨ, ਹੇ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ, ਓਹ ਤੇਰੇ ਚਿਹਰੇ ਦੇ ਚਾਨਣ ਵਿੱਚ ਤੁਰਦੇ ਹਨ!
How happy are those who know how to shout your praises, Lord. They live in the light of your presence.
They celebrate the person you are all day long, so glad that you do what's right.
They rely on you, their glory and strength; by your grace you lift us up.
Yes, the Lord is the one who shields us, and our king belongs to the Holy One of Israel.
19 ੧੯ ਤਦ ਮੈਂ ਦਰਸ਼ਣ ਵਿੱਚ ਆਪਣੇ ਸੰਤਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਬਚਨ ਕੀਤਾ, ਅਤੇ ਫ਼ਰਮਾਇਆ ਕਿ ਮੈਂ ਸਹਾਇਤਾ ਇੱਕ ਸੂਰਮੇ ਨੂੰ ਦਿੱਤੀ ਹੈ, ਮੈਂ ਪਰਜਾ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਚੁਣ ਕੇ ਇੱਕ ਨੂੰ ਉੱਚਿਆਂ ਕੀਤਾ ਹੈ।
Once you spoke in a vision to your faithful servant and said, “I have given strength to the warrior I have chosen from the people to become king.
I have selected David my servant, and I have anointed him with the oil of my holiness.
I have placed my hand on him to steady him; and I have made him strong by my powerful arm.
His enemies will not deceive him; the wicked will not bring him down.
I will wipe out his enemies before him; I will strike down those who hate him.
24 ੨੪ ਪਰ ਮੇਰੀ ਵਫ਼ਾਦਾਰੀ ਅਤੇ ਮੇਰੀ ਦਯਾ ਉਹ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਰਹੇਗੀ, ਅਤੇ ਮੇਰੇ ਨਾਮ ਦੇ ਕਾਰਨ ਉਹ ਦਾ ਸਿੰਗ ਉੱਚਾ ਕੀਤਾ ਜਾਵੇਗਾ,
My trustworthiness and unfailing love will be with him, and through me he will be victorious.
I will extend his rule from the Mediterranean Sea to the Euphrates River.
He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.’
I will also make him my first-born son, the highest of the kings of the earth.
I will love him faithfully forever; my agreement with him shall never come to an end.
I will make sure his royal line lasts forever; his dynasty will continue as long as the heavens endure.
But if his descendants abandon my laws, if they do not follow my rules,
if they break my decrees, and do not keep my commandments,
I will punish their rebellion by beating them with a rod, and their sin by lashing them with a whip.
However, I will not take away my love from him; I will not break my promise to him.
I will not annul the agreement I have with him; I will not alter a single word I've said.
By my holy character I have made a vow to David that I will not lie to him.
His royal line will last forever, and his dynasty will continue before me as long as the sun endures.
It will continue forever like the moon, an enduring witness in the heavens.” (Selah)
But you have rejected and abandoned him! You are angry with your chosen king!
You have broken the agreement you had with him; you have thrown his crown to the ground!
You have torn down his defensive walls; you have ruined his fortresses.
Everyone who passes by has robbed him; he has become an object of mockery to the nations nearby.
You have made his enemies strong; you have made them celebrate their victory.
You have repelled his sharp sword; you have not helped him in battle.
You took away his glory; you threw his throne to the ground.
You have made him grow old before his time; you have totally humiliated him. (Selah)
46 ੪੬ ਹੇ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ, ਕਦ ਤੱਕ? ਕੀ ਤੂੰ ਸਦਾ ਤੱਕ ਆਪਣੇ ਆਪ ਨੂੰ ਲੁਕਾਈ ਰੱਖੇਂਗਾ? ਕਦ ਤੱਕ ਤੇਰਾ ਕ੍ਰੋਧ ਅੱਗ ਵਾਂਗੂੰ ਭੱਖਦਾ ਰਹੇਗਾ?
How long, Lord? Will you hide yourself from us forever, your anger burning like fire?
Remember me—my life is so short! Why did you bother creating futile humanity?
48 ੪੮ ਕਿਹੜਾ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਜਿਉਂਦਾ ਰਹੇਗਾ ਅਤੇ ਮੌਤ ਨੂੰ ਨਾ ਵੇਖੇਗਾ, ਅਤੇ ਆਪਣੀ ਜਾਨ ਨੂੰ ਪਤਾਲ ਦੇ ਵੱਸ ਤੋਂ ਛੁਡਾਵੇਗਾ? ਸਲਹ। (Sheol h7585)
There's no one who doesn't die—no one can save themselves from the power of the grave. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
49 ੪੯ ਹੇ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ, ਤੇਰੀਆਂ ਓਹ ਪਹਿਲੀਆਂ ਦਿਆਲ਼ਗੀਆਂ ਕਿੱਥੇ ਹਨ, ਜਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਵਿਖੇ ਤੂੰ ਆਪਣੀ ਵਫ਼ਾਦਾਰੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਦਾਊਦ ਨਾਲ ਸਹੁੰ ਖਾਧੀ ਸੀ?
Where is the trustworthy love you used to have, Lord, that you faithfully promised to David?
50 ੫੦ ਹੇ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ, ਆਪਣੇ ਦਾਸਾਂ ਦੇ ਉਲਾਹਮਿਆਂ ਦਾ ਚੇਤਾ ਕਰ, ਮੈਂ ਆਪਣੀ ਛਾਤੀ ਉੱਤੇ ਬਹੁਤ ਸਾਰੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਦੇ ਉਲਾਹਮੇ ਚੁੱਕੀ ਬੈਠਾ ਹਾਂ,
Don't forget, Lord, how your servants are being humiliated! I'm burdened down with the insults of so many nations!
51 ੫੧ ਜਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ, ਹੇ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ, ਤੇਰੇ ਵੈਰੀਆਂ ਨੇ ਤਾਨੇ ਮਾਰੇ, ਜਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਤੇਰੇ ਮਸਹ ਕੀਤੇ ਹੋਏ ਦੇ ਖੁਰਿਆਂ ਉੱਤੇ ਤਾਨੇ ਮਾਰੇ।
Your enemies taunt me, Lord, mocking your king wherever he goes.
May the Lord be blessed for ever. Amen and amen.
