ಕೀರ್ತನೆಗಳು 30
1 1 ಓ ಕರ್ತನೇ, ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಕೊಂಡಾಡುವೆನು; ನೀನು ನನ್ನ ಶತ್ರುಗಳು ನನ್ನ ವಿಷಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಂತೋಷಪಡದಂತೆ ಮಾಡಿ ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಮೇಲಕ್ಕೆ ಎತ್ತಿದ್ದೀ.
2 ನನ್ನ ದೇವರಾದ ಓ ಕರ್ತನೇ, ನಿನಗೆ ಮೊರೆಯಿಡಲು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಸ್ವಸ್ಥಮಾಡಿದ್ದೀ.
3 ಓ ಕರ್ತನೇ, ನನ್ನ ಪ್ರಾಣವನ್ನು ಸಮಾಧಿಯಿಂದ ಎತ್ತಿದ್ದೀ; ನಾನು ತಗ್ಗಿಗೆ ಇಳಿಯದಂತೆ ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಜೀವದಲ್ಲಿ ಕಾಪಾಡಿದ್ದೀ.
4 ಓ ಕರ್ತನ ಪರಿಶುದ್ಧರೇ, ಆತನನ್ನು ಕೀರ್ತಿಸಿರಿ; ಆತನ ಪರಿಶುದ್ಧತ್ವವನ್ನು ಜ್ಞಾಪಕಮಾಡಿ ಕೊಂಡಾಡಿರಿ.
5 ಆತನ ಕೋಪವು ಕ್ಷಣಮಾತ್ರ. ಆತನ ಕಟಾಕ್ಷವು ಜೀವವೇ; ರಾತ್ರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ದುಃಖವು ತಂಗಬಹುದಾದರೂ ಬೆಳಿಗ್ಗೆ ಆನಂದವು ಬರುವದು.
6 ನನ್ನ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಯಲ್ಲಿ--ನಾನು ಎಂದಿಗೂ ಕದಲು ವದಿಲ್ಲ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದೆನು.
7 ಕರ್ತನೇ, ನಿನ್ನ ಕಟಾ ಕ್ಷದಿಂದ ನನ್ನ ಬೆಟ್ಟವು ಸ್ಥಿರವಾಗಿ ನಿಲ್ಲುವಂತೆ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದೀ, ನಿನ್ನ ಮುಖವನ್ನು ಮರೆಮಾಡಲು ಕಳವಳಗೊಂಡೆನು.
8 ಓ ಕರ್ತನೇ, ನಾನು ನಿನಗೆ ಕೂಗಿಕೊಂಡೆನು; ಕರ್ತ ನಿಗೆ ವಿಜ್ಞಾಪನೆ ಮಾಡಿದೆನು.
9 ನಾನು ಕುಣಿಯಲ್ಲಿಳಿ ದರೆ ನನ್ನ ರಕ್ತದಲ್ಲಿ ಲಾಭವೇನು? ಧೂಳು ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಕೊಂಡಾಡುವದೋ? ಅದು ನಿನ್ನ ಸತ್ಯವನ್ನು ತಿಳಿಸು ವದೋ?
10 ಓ ಕರ್ತನೇ, ಕೇಳು; ನನ್ನ ಮೇಲೆ ಕರುಣೆಯಿಡು. ಕರ್ತನೇ, ನನಗೆ ಸಹಾಯಕನಾಗಿರು.
11 ನೀನು ನನ್ನ ಗೋಳಾಟವನ್ನು ಕುಣಿದಾಟಕ್ಕೆ ತಿರು ಗಿಸಿದ್ದೀ; ನನ್ನ ಗೋಣಿತಟ್ಟನ್ನು ತೆಗೆದುಹಾಕಿ ಸಂತೋಷ ದಿಂದ ನನ್ನ ನಡುವನ್ನು ಕಟ್ಟಿದ್ದೀ.
12 ಹೀಗೆ ನನ್ನ ಹೆಚ್ಚಳವು ಮೌನವಾಗಿರದೆ ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಕೀರ್ತಿಸುವದು. ನನ್ನ ದೇವರಾದ ಓ ಕರ್ತನೇ, ಯುಗಯುಗಕ್ಕೂ ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಕೊಂಡಾಡುವೆನು.
1 A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David.
2 I will extol thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
3 O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
4 O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
5 Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
6 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
7 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
8 Lord, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
9 I cried to thee, O Lord; and unto the Lord I made supplication.
10 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
11 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me: Lord, be thou my helper.
12 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
13 To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
1 Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.
2 A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.
3 When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.
4 The words of a man’s mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.
5 It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment.
6 A fool’s lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.
7 A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.
8 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
9 He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.
10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
11 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.
12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.
13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.
14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?
15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
16 A man’s gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
17 He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.
18 The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.
19 A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
20 A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord.
23 The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.
24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
