Psalm 66
1 ହେ ପୃଥିବୀର ସକଳ ବସ୍ତୁ। ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଉଦ୍ଦେଶ୍ଯରେ ଆନନ୍ଦ ଧ୍ବନି କର!
2 ତାହାଙ୍କ ନାମର ମହିମା ଗାନ କର। ସ୍ତୁତି ଗାନ କରି ଗୌରବାନ୍ବିତ କର।
3 ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ କୁହ, ତୁମ୍ଭର କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ୟ୍ଯଜନକ ଅଟେ। ପରମେଶ୍ବର ତୁମ୍ଭର ଶକ୍ତି ମହାନ୍ ! ତୁମ୍ଭର ଶତ୍ରୁମାନେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ସମ୍ମୁଖରେ ନତମସ୍ତକ ହୁଅନ୍ତି। ସମାନେେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଭୟ କରନ୍ତି!
4 ସମୁଦାଯ ପୃଥିବୀ ତୁମ୍ଭର ପ୍ରଣାମ କରୁ ଏବଂ ସମୁଦାଯ ଲୋକ ତୁମ୍ଭର ନାମ ପ୍ରଶଂସା ଗାନ କରନ୍ତୁ। ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକ ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି ଗୀତ ଦ୍ବାରା ତୁମ୍ଭର ନାମକୁ ପ୍ରଶଂସା କରନ୍ତୁ।
5 ଦେଖ, ଯେଉଁ ସବୁ କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ ପରମେଶ୍ବର କରିଛନ୍ତି। ସେ ସମସ୍ତ କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ୟ୍ଯ କରେ।
6 ପରମେଶ୍ବର ପର୍ୟ୍ଯାଯକ୍ରମେ ସମୁଦ୍ରକୁ ଶୁଖାଇ ଥିଲେ। ତାଙ୍କର ଲୋକ ନଦୀକୁ ଅତିକ୍ରମ କରି ଚାଲିଲେ।
7 ପରମେଶ୍ବର ତାଙ୍କର ମହାନ୍ ଶକ୍ତିରେ ପୃଥିବୀରେ ଶାସନ କରନ୍ତି। ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଜାତିଗଣକୁ ନିରୀକ୍ଷଣ କରନ୍ତି। ତାଙ୍କ ବିପକ୍ଷରେ ଜିଦ୍ଖୋର ହାଇେ ବିଦ୍ରୋହୀ ଭାବେ ଛିଡ଼ା ହବୋ ଉଚିତ୍ ନୁହେଁ।
8 ହେ ମାନବ ସମାଜ, ଆମ୍ଭ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କର ପ୍ରଶଂସାଗାନ କର। ଉଚ୍ଚ ସ୍ବରରେ ତାଙ୍କର ମହିମା ଗାନ କର।
9 ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଜୀବନ ଦେଲେ ଏବଂ ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ଖସିୟିବାକୁ ଅନୁମତି ଦଇେ ନାହାନ୍ତି।
10 ହେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ଲୋକ ବୋଲି ପରୀକ୍ଷା କରିଅଛ। ୟପରେି ଅଗ୍ନିରେ ଲୋକମାନେ ରୂପକୁ ପରୀକ୍ଷା କରନ୍ତି।
11 ପରମେଶ୍ବର ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଜାଲରେ ପକାଇଅଛ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ଭାଗୀ ବୋଝ ଦଇେଅଛ।
12 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆମ୍ଭର ଶତ୍ରୁମାନଙ୍କୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଘୋଡ଼ାରେ ଚଢ଼ି ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ମସ୍ତକ ଉପରେ ୟିବାକୁ ଦଇେଛ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଅଗ୍ନି ଓ ଜଳ ମଧ୍ଯ ଦଇେ ଚାଲିବାକୁ କହିଛ। କିନ୍ତୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ସୁରକ୍ଷିତ ସ୍ଥାନକୁ ନଇେ ଆସିଛ।
13 ତଣେୁ, ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭ ପବିତ୍ର ମନ୍ଦିରକୁ ହାମବେଳି ନଇେ ଆସିବି। ଯେତବେେଳେ ମୁଁ ସଂଙ୍କଟରେ ଥିଲି, ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ସାହାୟ୍ଯ ପାଇଁ ଅନୁ ରୋଧ କରିଥିଲି।
14 ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭ ଆଗରେ ଶପଥ କରିଛି। ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ମୁଁ କରିଥିବା ଶପଥ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ସମର୍ପଣ କରୁଛି।
15 ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ମାଂସାଳ ପଶୁମାନଙ୍କୁ ପାପାର୍ଥକବଳି ଆକାରରେ ପ୍ରଦାନ କରିବି। ମୁଁ ମଷେ ସହିତ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ସୁଗନ୍ଧି ପ୍ରଦାନ କରିବି। ମୁଁ ଛାଗ ସଙ୍ଗେ ବୃଷ ବଳିଦାନ କରିବି।
16 ହେ ସମସ୍ତ ଲୋକ ଯେଉଁମାନେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ ଉପାସନା କର, ଆସ ଏବଂ ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିବି ପରମେଶ୍ବର ମାେ ପାଇଁ କ'ଣ ସବୁ କରିଛନ୍ତି।
17 ମୁଁ ତାଙ୍କୁ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା କରିଥିଲି। ମୁଁ ତାଙ୍କର ପ୍ରଶଂସା କରିଥିଲି।
18 ମୁଁ ୟବେେ ମାରେ ମନ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଅଧର୍ମକୁ ଆଦର କରେ। ତବେେ ମାରେ ପ୍ରଭୁ ମାରେ କଥା ଶୁଣିବେ ନାହିଁ।
19 ପରମେଶ୍ବର ମାରେ କଥା ଶୁଣିଅଛନ୍ତି। ପରମେଶ୍ବର ମାରେ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା ଗ୍ରହଣ କରିଛନ୍ତି।
20 ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କର ପ୍ରଶଂସା କର !ପରମେଶ୍ବର ମାେ ପାଖରୁ ମୁହଁ ଫରୋଇ ନାହାନ୍ତି। ସେ ମାରେ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା ଶୁଣିଛନ୍ତି। ପରମେଶ୍ବର ତାଙ୍କର ପ୍ରମେ ମାେତେ ଦଖାଇେଛନ୍ତି।
1 To the chief Musician, A Song or Psalm.
2 Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:
3 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.
4 Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.
5 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.
6 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.
7 He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
8 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
9 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:
10 Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.
11 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
12 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.
13 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
14 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,
15 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.
16 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.
17 Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
18 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.
19 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:
20 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
21 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
1 The burden of Egypt. Behold, the Lord rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.
2 And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
3 And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.
4 And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts.
5 And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up.
6 And they shall turn the rivers far away; and the brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither.
7 The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, and every thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be no more.
8 The fishers also shall mourn, and all they that cast angle into the brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish.
9 Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave networks, shall be confounded.
10 And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluices and ponds for fish.
11 Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise counsellers of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?
12 Where are they? where are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now, and let them know what the Lord of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.
13 The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the stay of the tribes thereof.
14 The Lord hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit.
15 Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do.
16 In that day shall Egypt be like unto women: and it shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which he shaketh over it.
17 And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt, every one that maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the Lord of hosts, which he hath determined against it.
18 In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the Lord of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction.
19 In that day shall there be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the Lord.
20 And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the Lord because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.
21 And the Lord shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the Lord in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the Lord, and perform it.
22 And the Lord shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the Lord, and he shall be intreated of them, and shall heal them.
23 In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.
24 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land:
25 Whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.
