కీర్తనల~ గ్రంథము 147
1 ౧ యెహోవాను స్తుతించండి. మన దేవుడైన యెహోవాను కీర్తిస్తూ గానం చేయడం మంచిది. అది మనోహరం. స్తోత్రగానం చేయడం ఎంతైనా తగినది.
Alleluia. Praise the Lord, because the psalm is good. Delightful and beautiful praise shall be for our God.
The Lord builds up Jerusalem. He will gather together the dispersed of Israel.
He heals the contrite of heart, and he binds up their sorrows.
He numbers the multitude of the stars, and he calls them all by their names.
Great is our Lord, and great is his virtue. And of his wisdom, there is no number.
The Lord lifts up the meek, but he brings down the sinner, even to the ground.
Sing before the Lord with confession. Play psalms to our God on a stringed instrument.
He covers heaven with clouds, and he prepares rain for the earth. He produces grass on the mountains and herbs for the service of men.
He gives their food to beasts of burden and to young ravens that call upon him.
He will not have good will for the strength of the horse, nor will he be well pleased with the legs of a man.
The Lord is well pleased with those who fear him and with those who hope in his mercy.
Alleluia. Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem. Praise your God, O Zion.
For he has reinforced the bars of your gates. He has blessed your sons within you.
14 ౧౪ నీ పొలిమేరల్లో శాంతి సమాధానాలు నిలిచి ఉండేలా చేసేది ఆయనే. నీకు ఆహారంగా మంచి గోదుమ పంటను ఇచ్చి నిన్ను తృప్తిపరచేవాడు ఆయనే.
He has stationed peace at your borders, and he has satisfied you with the fat of the grain.
He sends forth his eloquence to the earth. His word runs swiftly.
He provides snow like wool. He strews clouds like ashes.
He sends his ice crystals like morsels. Who can stand firm before the face of his cold?
He will send forth his word, and it will melt them. His Spirit will breathe out, and the waters will flow.
He announces his word to Jacob, his justices and his judgments to Israel.
20 ౨౦ మరి ఏ జనాంగం విషయంలోనూ ఆయన ఇలా చెయ్య లేదు. అయినా ఆయన న్యాయ నిర్ణయాలు వాళ్ళు గ్రహించలేదు. యెహోవాను స్తుతించండి.
He has not done so much for every nation, and he has not made his judgments manifest to them. Alleluia.
