ಕೀರ್ತನೆಗಳು 47
1 ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಜನರೇ, ನೀವು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಕೈಗಳನ್ನು ತಟ್ಟಿರಿ; ಜಯಾರ್ಭಟದಿಂದ ದೇವರಿಗೆ ಧ್ವನಿಗೈಯಿರಿ.
2 ಮಹೋನ್ನತನಾದ ಕರ್ತನು ಭಯಂಕ ರನೂ ಭೂಮಿಯ ಮೇಲೆಲ್ಲಾ ಮಹಾಅರಸನೂ ಆಗಿದ್ದಾನೆ.
3 ಜನರನ್ನು ನಮ್ಮ ಕೆಳಗೂ ಜನಾಂಗಗಳನ್ನು ನಮ್ಮ ಪಾದಗಳ ಕೆಳಗೂ ಅಧೀನ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾನೆ.
4 ಆತನು ಪ್ರೀತಿಮಾಡುವ ಯಾಕೋಬನ ಘನತೆಯಾದ ನಮ್ಮ ಬಾಧ್ಯತೆಯನ್ನು ಆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಾನೆ--ಸೆಲಾ.
5 ದೇವರು ಮಹಾಧ್ವನಿಯಿಂದ, ಕರ್ತನು ತುತೂ ರಿಯ ಶಬ್ದದಿಂದ, ಮೇಲೆ ಹೋಗಿದ್ದಾನೆ.
6 ದೇವರಿಗೆ ಸ್ತುತಿಗಳನ್ನು ಹಾಡಿರಿ, ಸ್ತುತಿಗಳನ್ನು ಹಾಡಿರಿ; ನಮ್ಮ ಅರಸನಿಗೆ ಸ್ತುತಿಗಳನ್ನು ಹಾಡಿರಿ, ಸ್ತುತಿಗಳನ್ನು ಹಾಡಿರಿ;
7 ದೇವರು ಭೂಮಿಗೆಲ್ಲಾ ಅರಸನು; ತಿಳುವಳಿಕೆಯಿಂದ ಸ್ತುತಿಗಳನ್ನು ಹಾಡಿರಿ.
8 ಅನ್ಯಜನಾಂಗವನ್ನು ಆಳುತ್ತಾನೆ; ತನ್ನ ಪರಿಶುದ್ಧ ಸಿಂಹಾಸನದಲ್ಲಿ ಕೂತಿದ್ದಾನೆ.
9 ಜನರ ಅಧಿಪತಿಗಳು ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನ ದೇವರ ಪ್ರಜೆಯ ಸಂಗಡ ಕೂಡಿ ಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ; ಭೂಮಿಯ ಗುರಾಣಿಗಳು ದೇವರ ವಶದಲ್ಲಿವೆ; ಆತನು ಬಹಳವಾಗಿ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟಿದ್ದಾನೆ.
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.
2 O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.
3 For the Lord most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.
4 He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.
5 He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.
6 God is gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.
7 Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.
8 For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.
9 God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.
10 The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto God: he is greatly exalted.
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.
