కీర్తనల~ గ్రంథము 135
Praise Yahweh! You who (do work for/serve) Yahweh, praise him!
You who stand in the temple of Yahweh our God and in the surrounding courtyard, praise him [MTY]!
Praise Yahweh, because he does good things [for us]; sing to him [MTY], because he is kind [to us].
He has chosen [us, the descendants of] Jacob; he has chosen [us] Israelis to belong to him [DOU].
I know that Yahweh is great; he is greater than all the gods.
Yahweh does whatever he desires to do, in heaven and on the earth and in the seas/oceans, [down] to the bottom of the seas.
7 ౭ భూమి అంచుల నుంచి ఆయన మేఘాలను రప్పిస్తాడు. వర్షంతో బాటు ఆకాశంలో మెరుపులు పుట్టిస్తాడు. తన గిడ్డంగిలోనుంచి గాలిని బయటికి తెస్తాడు.
He is the one who causes clouds to appear from very distant places on the earth; he sends lightning with the rain, and he brings the winds from the places where he stores them.
He is the one who killed [all] the firstborn [males] in Egypt, the firstborn of people and of animals.
9 ౯ ఐగుప్తూ, నీ మధ్య ఆయన సూచకక్రియలు, అద్భుతాలు కనపరచాడు. ఫరోకు, అతని పరివారానికీ వ్యతిరేకంగా వాటిని చేశాడు.
There he performed many kinds of miracles [DOU] to punish the king and all his officials.
He destroyed many nations and the powerful kings [who ruled them]:
Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, and Og, the king of Bashan [region], and all the other kings in Canaan [land].
Then he gave their land to [us] Israeli people to belong to us [forever].
13 ౧౩ యెహోవా, నీ నామం శాశ్వతంగా నిలుస్తుంది. యెహోవా, నిన్ను గూర్చిన జ్ఞాపకం తరతరాలకు నిలిచి ఉంటుంది.
Yahweh your name will endure forever, and people who are not yet born will remember the great things [that you have done].
Yahweh, [you] declare that we your people (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong), and you are merciful to us.
But the idols that the [other] people-groups [worship] are only [statues made of] silver and gold, things that humans have made.
Their idols have mouths, but they cannot say [anything]; they have eyes, but they cannot see [anything].
They have ears, but they cannot hear [anything], and they are not [even able to] breathe.
The people who make those idols are as [powerless as] those idols, and those who trust in those idols [can accomplish no more than] their idols can!
19 ౧౯ ఇశ్రాయేలు వంశానికి చెందిన ప్రజలారా, యెహోవాను కీర్తించండి. అహరోను వంశస్థులందరూ యెహోవాను స్తుతించండి.
[My fellow] Israelis, praise Yahweh! You [priests] who are descended from Aaron, praise Yahweh!

You [men] who are descended from Levi, [you who assist the priests], praise Yahweh! [All] you who revere Yahweh, praise him!
