కీర్తనల~ గ్రంథము 89
1 ౧ ఎజ్రా వంశం వాడైన ఏతాను దైవ ధ్యానం. యెహోవా కృపాకార్యాలను నేను కలకాలం గానం చేస్తాను. రాబోయే తరాలకు నీ నమ్మకత్వాన్ని ప్రకటిస్తాను.
Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.
2 ౨ నేను అంటున్నాను, నిబంధన విశ్వసనీయత శాశ్వతంగా స్థాపించావు. నీ సత్యం పరలోకంలో శాశ్వతంగా స్థిరపరచావు.
For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.
I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,
Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. (Selah)
5 ౫ యెహోవా, ఆకాశాలు నీ అద్భుతాలను ప్రస్తుతిస్తాయి, పవిత్రుల సమావేశంలో నీ విశ్వసనీయతకు స్తుతులు కలుగుతున్నాయి.
And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? [who] among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?
God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all [them that are] about him.
O LORD God of hosts, who [is] a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?
9 ౯ ఉప్పొంగే సముద్రాన్ని నువ్వు అదుపులో ఉంచుతావు, అలలు ఉవ్వెత్తుగా లేస్తే నువ్వు వాటిని అణచివేస్తావు.
Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.
10 ౧౦ చచ్చిన దానితో సమానంగా నువ్వు రాహాబును నలిపేశావు. నీ బాహుబలంతో నీ శత్రువులను చెదరగొట్టి వేశావు.
Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.
The heavens [are] thine, the earth also [is] thine: [as for] the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.
12 ౧౨ ఉత్తర దక్షిణ దిక్కులను నువ్వే సృష్టించావు. తాబోరు హెర్మోనులు నీ నామాన్నిబట్టి ఆనందిస్తున్నాయి.
The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.
Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, [and] high is thy right hand.
Justice and judgment [are] the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.
Blessed [is] the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.
In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.
For thou [art] the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.
For the LORD [is] our defence; and the Holy One of Israel [is] our king.
19 ౧౯ ఒకప్పుడు నువ్వు దర్శనంలో నీ భక్తులతో మాట్లాడావు. నువ్విలా అన్నావు, నేను ఒక శూరుడికి కిరీటం పెట్టాను. ప్రజల్లోనుంచి ఎన్నుకుని అతణ్ణి హెచ్చించాను.
Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon [one that is] mighty; I have exalted [one] chosen out of the people.
I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:
With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.
The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.
But my faithfulness and my mercy [shall be] with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
He shall cry unto me, Thou [art] my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
Also I will make him [my] firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.
My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.
His seed also will I make [to endure] for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;
Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.
It shall be established for ever as the moon, and [as] a faithful witness in heaven. (Selah)
But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.
Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown [by casting it] to the ground.
Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.
All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.
Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.
Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.
The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. (Selah)
How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?
Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?
48 ౪౮ చావకుండా బతికేవాడెవడు? లేక మృత్యులోకంనుంచి తన జీవాన్ని తప్పించుకోగల వాడెవడు? (సెలా) (Sheol h7585)
What man [is he that] liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
Lord, where [are] thy former lovingkindnesses, [which] thou swarest unto David in thy truth?
50 ౫౦ ప్రభూ, నీ సేవకులకు వచ్చిన నిందను బలమైన రాజ్యాలన్నిటి నుంచి వచ్చిన అవమానాన్ని నా గుండెలో నేనెలా భరిస్తున్నానో తలచుకో.
Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; [how] I do bear in my bosom [the reproach of] all the mighty people;
Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.
Blessed [be] the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
