Psalm 77
1 ನನ್ನ ಸ್ವರದಿಂದ ದೇವರಿಗೆ ಮೊರೆಯಿಟ್ಟೆನು, ದೇವರಿಗೆ ನನ್ನ ಸ್ವರದಿಂದ ಮೊರೆಯಿಟ್ಟೆನು; ಆತನು ನನ್ನ ಮೊರೆಯನ್ನು ಆಲೈಸಿದನು.
2 ನನ್ನ ಇಕ್ಕ ಟ್ಟಿನ ದಿವಸದಲ್ಲಿ ಕರ್ತನನ್ನು ಹುಡುಕಿದೆನು; ನಾನು ರಾತ್ರಿಯೆಲ್ಲಾ ವ್ಯಥೆಪಟ್ಟದ್ದರಿಂದ ನನ್ನ ಪ್ರಾಣವು ಆದರಣೆ ಹೊಂದಲೊಲ್ಲದು.
3 ನಾನು ವ್ಯಥೆಪಡುತ್ತಾ ದೇವರನ್ನು ಜ್ಞಾಪಕಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡೆನು. ನಾನು ಚಿಂತಿ ಸುವದರಿಂದ ನನ್ನ ಆತ್ಮವು ಬಳಲಿ ಹೋಗಿದೆ ಸೆಲಾ.
4 ನನ್ನ ಕಣ್ಣುಗಳನ್ನು ಮುಚ್ಚದಂತೆ ನೀನು ಹಿಡಿಯುತ್ತೀ; ನಾನು ಮಾತಾಡದಂತೆ ಕಳವಳಪಟ್ಟಿದ್ದೇನೆ.
5 ಪುರಾ ತನ ದಿವಸಗಳನ್ನೂ ಆದಿಕಾಲದ ವರುಷಗಳನ್ನೂ ಯೋಚಿಸಿದೆನು.
6 ನನ್ನ ಹಾಡನ್ನು ರಾತ್ರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಜ್ಞಾಪಕ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತೇನೆ; ನನ್ನ ಹೃದಯದ ಸಂಗಡ ಮಾತಾ ಡುತ್ತೇನೆ; ನನ್ನ ಆತ್ಮವು ಪರಿಶೋಧನೆ ಮಾಡಿತು.
7 ನಿರಂತರವಾಗಿ ಕರ್ತನು ತಳ್ಳಿಬಿಡುವನೋ? ಇನ್ನು ದಯೆತೋರದೆ ಇರುವನೋ?
8 ಆತನ ಕೃಪೆಯು ಸದಾಕಾಲಕ್ಕೆ ನಿಂತು ಹೋಗುತ್ತದೋ? ನಿರಂತರಕ್ಕೂ ವಾಗ್ದಾನ ತಪ್ಪಿಹೋಗುತ್ತದೋ?
9 ದೇವರು ಕರು ಣಿಸುವದನ್ನು ಮರೆತು ಬಿಟ್ಟಿದ್ದಾನೋ? ತನ್ನ ಅಂತಃ ಕರಣಗಳನ್ನು ಕೋಪದಿಂದ ಮುಚ್ಚಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದಾನೋ? ಸೆಲಾ.
10 ಇದೇ ನನ್ನ ಬಲಹೀನತೆ ಎಂದು ನಾನು ಅಂದುಕೊಂಡೆನು. ಮಹೋನ್ನತನ ಬಲಗೈಯ ವರ್ಷ ಗಳನ್ನು ಜ್ಞಾಪಕಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವೆನು;
11 ಕರ್ತನ ಕ್ರಿಯೆಗಳನ್ನು ನೆನಸಿ ನಿಶ್ಚಯವಾಗಿ ಪುರಾತನ ಅದ್ಭುತ ಗಳನ್ನು ಜ್ಞಾಪಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವೆನು.
12 ನಿನ್ನ ಕೆಲಸವನ್ನೆಲ್ಲಾ ಸ್ಮರಿಸಿ ನಿನ್ನ ಕೃತ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು ಕುರಿತು ಮಾತನಾಡುವೆನು.
13 ಓ ದೇವರೇ, ನಿನ್ನ ಮಾರ್ಗವು ಪರಿಶುದ್ಧ ಆಲಯದಲ್ಲಿದೆ; ನಮ್ಮ ದೇವರಂತೆ ದೊಡ್ಡ ದೇವರು ಯಾರು?
14 ಅದ್ಭುತಗಳನ್ನು ನಡಿಸುವ ದೇವರು ನೀನೇ; ನಿನ್ನ ಬಲವನ್ನು ಜನರಲ್ಲಿ ತೋರಿಸಿದ್ದೀ.
15 ಯಾಕೋಬನ ಮತ್ತು ಯೋಸೇಫನ ಮಕ್ಕಳಾದ ನಿನ್ನ ಜನರನ್ನು ತೋಳಿನಿಂದ ವಿಮೋಚನೆ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದೀ ಸೆಲಾ.
16 ನೀರು ಗಳು ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ನೋಡಿದವು; ಓ ದೇವರೇ, ನೀರುಗಳು ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ನೋಡಿ ಭ್ರಮೆಗೊಂಡವು; ಅಗಾಧಗಳು ನಡುಗಿದವು.
17 ಮೋಡಗಳು ನೀರನ್ನು ಸುರಿಸಿದವು; ಆಕಾಶಗಳು ಶಬ್ದ ಮಾಡಿದವು; ನಿನ್ನ ಬಾಣಗಳು ಸಹ ಹಾರಿ ಬಂದವು.
18 ನಿನ್ನ ಗುಡುಗಿನ ಶಬ್ದವು ಆಕಾಶ ಮಂಡಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಇತ್ತು; ಮಿಂಚುಗಳು ಜಗತ್ತನ್ನು ಬೆಳಗ ಮಾಡಿದವು; ಭೂಮಿಯು ನಡುಗಿ ಕದಲಿತು.
19 ನಿನ್ನ ಮಾರ್ಗವು ಸಮುದ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ಅದೆ; ನಿನ್ನ ಹಾದಿಯು ಬಹಳ ನೀರುಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಅವೆ; ನಿನ್ನ ಹೆಜ್ಜೆಗಳು ತಿಳಿಯ ಲ್ಪಡಲಿಲ್ಲ.
20 ಮೋಶೆ ಆರೋನರ ಕೈಯಿಂದ ನಿನ್ನ ಜನರನ್ನು ಮಂದೆಯ ಹಾಗೆ ನಡಿಸಿದಿ.
1 To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph.
2 I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.
3 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.
4 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
5 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
6 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
7 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
8 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?
9 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?
10 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
11 And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.
12 I will remember the works of the Lord: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.
13 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.
14 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
15 Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.
16 Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
17 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.
18 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.
19 The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
20 Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.
21 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
1 Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
2 And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.
3 Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
4 Then the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the Lord’s glory.
5 And the sound of the cherubims’ wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.
6 And it came to pass, that when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.
7 And one cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubims unto the fire that was between the cherubims, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it, and went out.
8 And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man’s hand under their wings.
9 And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the colour of a beryl stone.
10 And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.
11 When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went.
12 And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had.
13 As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel.
14 And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
15 And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar.
16 And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them.
17 When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
18 Then the glory of the Lord departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims.
19 And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the Lord’s house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
20 This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubims.
21 Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
22 And the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.
