కీర్తనల గ్రంథము 76
1 యూదాలో దేవుడు ప్రసిద్ధుడు ఇశ్రాయేలులో ఆయన నామము గొప్పది.
2 షాలేములో ఆయన గుడారమున్నది సీయోనులో ఆయన ఆలయమున్నది.
3 అక్కడ వింటి అగ్ని బాణములను కేడెములను కత్తులను యుద్ధాయుధములను ఆయన విరుగగొట్టెను.(సెలా.)
4 దుష్టమృగములుండు పర్వతముల సౌందర్యముకంటె నీవు అధిక తేజస్సుగలవాడవు.
5 కఠినహృదయులు దోచుకొనబడి యున్నారు వారు నిద్రనొంది యున్నారు పరాక్రమశాలులందరి బాహుబలము హరించెను.
6 యాకోబు దేవా, నీ గద్దింపునకు రథసారథులకును గుఱ్ఱములకును గాఢనిద్ర కలిగెను.
7 నీవు, నీవే భయంకరుడవు నీవు కోపపడు వేళ నీ సన్నిధిని నిలువగలవాడెవడు?
8 నీవు తీర్చిన తీర్పు ఆకాశములోనుండి వినబడజేసితివి
9 దేశములో శ్రమనొందిన వారినందరిని రక్షించుటకై న్యాయపుతీర్పునకు దేవుడు లేచినప్పుడు భూమి భయపడి ఊరకుండెను.(సెలా.)
10 నరుల ఆగ్రహము నిన్ను స్తుతించును ఆగ్రహశేషమును నీవు ధరించుకొందువు.
11 మీ దేవుడైన యెహోవాకు మ్రొక్కుకొని మీ మ్రొక్కుబడులను చెల్లించుడి ఆయన చుట్టునున్నవారందరు భయంకరుడగు ఆయనకు కానుకలు తెచ్చి అర్పింపవలెను.
12 అధికారుల పొగరును ఆయన అణచివేయువాడు భూరాజులకు ఆయన భీకరుడు.
1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm or Song of Asaph.
2 In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.
3 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.
4 There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.
5 Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.
6 The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.
7 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
8 Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
9 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
10 When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.
11 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.
12 Vow, and pay unto the Lord your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
13 He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
1 The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.
2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts.
3 To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.
4 An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.
5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.
6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.
7 The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment.
8 The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.
9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.
10 The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.
11 When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
12 The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.
13 Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
14 A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.
15 It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
16 The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.
17 He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.
18 The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.
19 It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.
20 There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.
21 He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.
22 A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.
23 Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.
24 Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.
25 The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.
26 He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.
27 The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?
28 A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.
29 A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his way.
30 There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the Lord.
31 The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the Lord.
