Psalm 103
1 ಓ ನನ್ನ ಮನವೇ, ಕರ್ತನನ್ನೂ ನನ್ನ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಅಂತರಂಗವೇ, ಆತನ ಪರಿಶುದ್ಧವಾದ ಹೆಸರನ್ನೂ ಸ್ತುತಿಸು.
2 ಓ ನನ್ನ ಮನವೇ, ಕರ್ತನನ್ನು ಸ್ತುತಿಸು. ಆತನ ಉಪಕಾರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದನ್ನೂ ಮರೆತುಬಿಡಬೇಡ.
3 ಆತನು ನಿನ್ನ ಅಪ ರಾಧಗಳನ್ನೆಲ್ಲಾ ಮನ್ನಿಸಿ ನಿನ್ನ ರೋಗಗಳನ್ನೆಲ್ಲಾ ಸ್ವಸ್ಥ ಮಾಡಿ
4 ನಿನ್ನ ಜೀವವನ್ನು ನಾಶದೊಳಗಿಂದ ವಿಮೋ ಚಿಸಿ ಪ್ರೀತಿ ಕೃಪೆಯನ್ನೂ ಅಂತಃಕರಣಗಳನ್ನೂ ನಿನಗೆ ಕಿರೀಟವಾಗಿ ಇಟ್ಟು
5 ನಿನ್ನ ಯೌವನವು ಹದ್ದಿನಂತೆ ಹೊಸದಾಗುವ ಹಾಗೆ ನಿನ್ನ ಬಾಯಿಯನ್ನು ಒಳ್ಳೇದ ರಿಂದ ತೃಪ್ತಿಪಡಿಸುತ್ತಾನೆ.
6 ಕುಗ್ಗಿಸಲ್ಪಡುವವರೆಲ್ಲರಿಗೆ ಕರ್ತನು ನೀತಿಯನ್ನೂ ನ್ಯಾಯವನ್ನೂ ನಡಿಸುತ್ತಾನೆ.
7 ಆತನು ತನ್ನ ಮಾರ್ಗಗಳನ್ನು ಮೋಶೆಗೂ ತನ್ನ ಕ್ರಿಯೆಗಳನ್ನು ಇಸ್ರಾಯೇಲಿನ ಮಕ್ಕಳಿಗೂ ತಿಳಿಯಮಾಡಿದನು.
8 ಕರ್ತನು ಅಂತಃಕರಣವೂ ದಯೆಯೂ ದೀರ್ಘಶಾಂತಿಯೂ ಬಹಳ ಕೃಪೆಯೂ ಉಳ್ಳವನಾಗಿದ್ದಾನೆ.
9 ಆತನು ಸದಾಕಾಲಕ್ಕೂ ಗದರಿಸುವದಿಲ್ಲ; ನಿತ್ಯವೂ ಕೋಪಿ ಸುವಾತನಲ್ಲ;
10 ನಮ್ಮ ಪಾಪಗಳಿಗೆ ತಕ್ಕಂತೆ ನಮಗೆ ಶಿಕ್ಷಿಸಲಿಲ್ಲ; ನಮ್ಮ ಅಪರಾಧಗಳ ಪ್ರಕಾರ ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ದಂಡಿಸಲಿಲ್ಲ.
11 ಭೂಮಿಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಆಕಾಶವು ಎಷ್ಟು ಉನ್ನತವೋ ಆತನ ಕೃಪೆಯು ಆತನಿಗೆ ಭಯಪಡುವವರ ಮೇಲೆ ಅಷ್ಟು ಅಪಾರವಾಗಿದೆ.
12 ಪೂರ್ವಕ್ಕೂ ಪಶ್ಚಿಮಕ್ಕೂ ಎಷ್ಟು ದೂರವೋ ನಮ್ಮ ದ್ರೋಹಗಳನ್ನು ನಮ್ಮಿಂದ ಅಷ್ಟು ದೂರ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾನೆ.
13 ತಂದೆಯು ಮಕ್ಕಳ ಮೇಲೆ ಅಂತಃಕರಣ ಪಡುವ ಪ್ರಕಾರ ಕರ್ತನು ತನಗೆ ಭಯಪಡುವವರ ಮೇಲೆ ಅಂತಃಕರಣಪಡುವವನಾಗಿದ್ದಾನೆ.
14 ಆತನು ನಮ್ಮ ಪ್ರಕೃತಿಯನ್ನು ತಿಳುಕೊಂಡು ನಾವು ಧೂಳಿ ಯಾಗಿದ್ದೇವೆಂದು ಜ್ಞಾಪಕಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಾನೆ;
15 ಮನುಷ್ಯನ ದಿವಸಗಳೋ ಹುಲ್ಲಿನ ಹಾಗೆ ಅವೆ; ಅವನು ಹೊಲದ ಹೂವಿನ ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಶೋಭಿಸುತ್ತಾನೆ.
16 ಆದಾಗ್ಯೂ ಗಾಳಿಯು ಅದರ ಮೇಲೆ ಬೀಸುತ್ತಲೇ ಅದು ಇಲ್ಲದೆ ಹೋಗುತ್ತದೆ; ಅದರ ಸ್ಥಳವು ಅದನ್ನು ಇನ್ನು ಅರಿಯದು.
17 ಆದರೆ ಕರ್ತನ ಕೃಪೆಯು ಆತನಿಗೆ ಭಯಪಡುವವರ ಮೇಲೆಯೂ ಆತನ ನೀತಿಯು ಮಕ್ಕಳ ಮಕ್ಕಳಿಗೂ
18 ಆತನ ಒಡಂಬಡಿಕೆಯನ್ನು ಕೈಕೊಂಡು ಆತನ ಕಟ್ಟಳೆಗಳನ್ನು ನೆನಸಿ ಅದರಂತೆ ಮಾಡುವವರಿಗೂ ನಿತ್ಯತ್ವದಿಂದ ನಿತ್ಯತ್ವಕ್ಕೂ ಇರುವದು.
19 ಕರ್ತನು ಆಕಾಶಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ತನ್ನ ಸಿಂಹಾಸನವನ್ನು ಸ್ಥಾಪಿಸಿದ್ದಾನೆ; ಆತನ ರಾಜ್ಯವು ಎಲ್ಲರ ಮೇಲೆ ಆಳುತ್ತದೆ.
20 ಆತನ ದೂತರೇ, ಆತನ ಮಾತಿನ ಸ್ವರವನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿ, ಆತನ ಆಜ್ಞೆಗಳನ್ನು ನಡಿಸುವ ಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠರಾದ ಶೂರರೇ,
21 ಕರ್ತನನ್ನು ಸ್ತುತಿಸಿರಿ. ಆತನ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಸೈನ್ಯಗಳೇ, ಆತನ ಇಷ್ಟವನ್ನು ನಡಿಸುವ ಆತನ ಸೇವಕರೇ, ಕರ್ತನನ್ನು ಸ್ತುತಿಸಿರಿ.
22 ಆತನ ಆಳಿಕೆಯ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಸ್ಥಳಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಇರುವ ಆತನ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಕೆಲಸಗಳೇ. ಕರ್ತನನ್ನು ಸ್ತುತಿಸಿರಿ. ನನ್ನ ಮನವೇ, ಕರ್ತನನ್ನು ಸ್ತುತಿಸು.
1 A Psalm of David.
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
3 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
4 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
5 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
6 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
7 The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
8 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
9 The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
10 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
11 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
12 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
13 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
14 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.
15 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
16 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
17 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
18 But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children;
19 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
20 The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
21 Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
22 Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
23 Bless the Lord, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.
1 O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6 Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
8 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:
12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.
13 Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.
15 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
16 For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
17 Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.
19 Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.
20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
21 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;
24 These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.
25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.
26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end.
28 Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
31 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;
34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.
36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;
37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
39 Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
40 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.
41 Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.
42 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
43 Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the Lord.
