1 ହେ ପ୍ରଭୁ, ତୁମ୍ଭ ବଂଶାନୁକ୍ରମେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ବାସସ୍ଥାନ ହାଇେଅଛ।

2 ହେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପର୍ବତମାଳାର ସୃଷ୍ଟି ପୂର୍ବରୁ ଏବଂ ପୃଥିବୀ ଓ ଜଗତ ସୃଷ୍ଟି ପୂର୍ବରୁ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଥିଲ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଚିରକାଳ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ହାଇେ ରହିବ।

3 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ପୃଥିବୀକୁ ଆଣିଛ ଏବଂ ପରିଶଷେରେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଧୂଳିରେ ପରିଣତ କରିଛ।

4 ତୁମ୍ଭ ଦୃଷ୍ଟିରେ, ସହସ୍ର ବର୍ଷ ଗତକାଲିର ତୁଲ୍ଯ ଓ ରାତ୍ରୀର ଅଳ୍ପ ସମୟପରି।

5 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଜୀବନକୁ ଉଚ୍ଛଦେ କରିଛ, ୟାହା ମୃତ୍ଯୁରେ ଶୋଇ ଥିବା ପରି। ପ୍ରଭାତରେ ସମାନେେ ଗୁଜୁରିବା ତୃଣପରି।

6 ପ୍ରାତଃକାଳରେ ତୃଣ ସତଜେ ହାଇେ ବଢ଼େ। ସନ୍ଧ୍ଯା କଳରେ ତାହା ଶୁଖି ମରିୟାଏ।

7 ହେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର, ତୁମ୍ଭ କୋର୍ଧରେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ କ୍ଷଯ ହେଉ। ପୁଣି ତୁମ୍ଭ କୋର୍ଧ ଆମ୍ଭଙ୍କୁ ଭୟଭୀତ କରେ।

8 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ପାପ ବିଷଯରେ ଜାଣ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମଧ୍ଯ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଗୁପ୍ତ ପାପ ଦେଖିଅଛ।

9 ତୁମ୍ଭର କୋର୍ଧ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ଜୀବନକୁ ଶଷେ ଦିନ କରିଦଇେ ଆଣିଛି। ଆମ୍ଭେ ଆମ୍ଭର ବର୍ଷ ଅତିଶୀଘ୍ର ସମାପ୍ତ କରୁଥାଉ।

10 ଆମ୍ଭେ ହୁଏତ ସତୁରି ବର୍ଷ ବଞ୍ଚିପାରୁ, ଅଥବା ୟଦି ଆମ୍ଭେ ଶକ୍ତିଶାଳୀ ତବେେ ଅଶୀ ବର୍ଷ ବଞ୍ଚିପାରୁ। ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଜୀବନ କଠିନ ପରିଶ୍ରମ ଓ ୟନ୍ତ୍ରଣାରେ ଭରପୁର ହାଇେଥାଏ। ଏହାପରେ ହଠାତ୍ ଆମ୍ଭର ଜୀବନ ସମାପ୍ତ ହୁଏ ଓ ଆମ୍ଭେ ଉଡ଼ିଯାଉ।

11 କୌଣସି ଲୋକ ବାସ୍ତବରେ ତୁମ୍ଭର କୋର୍ଧ ଦୂରତା ଜାଣନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ। କିନ୍ତୁ ତୁମ୍ଭର କୋର୍ଧ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆଶା କରୁଥିବା ସମ୍ମାନଠାରୁ ଅଧିକ।

12 ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ଶିକ୍ଷା ଦିଅ, ଆମ୍ଭ ଜୀବନ କେତେ କ୍ଷୀଣ ୟାହାଫଳରେ ଆମ୍ଭେ ବୁଦ୍ଧିମାନ୍ ହାଇେ ପାରିବୁ।

13 ହେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ, ଆମ୍ଭ ପାଖକୁ ଫରେି ଆସ, ଆଉ କେତେ ଦିନ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଅପେକ୍ଷା କରିବ ? ଆପଣା ଦାସ ପ୍ରତି ଦୟା କର।

14 ପ୍ରଭାତରେ, ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ତୁମ୍ଭ ଦୟାରେ ତୃପ୍ତ କର। ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ୟାବଜ୍ଜୀବନ ଖୁସି ଓ ଆନନ୍ଦିତ ହବୋକୁ ଦିଅ।

15 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଜୀବନରେ ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ବହୁ ବର୍ଷଧରି କଷ୍ଟ ଓ ୟନ୍ତ୍ରଣା ଦଲେ। ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ଆନନ୍ଦିତ କର, ୟପରେି ୟଥାର୍ଥ।

16 ତୁମ୍ଭେ କରିପାରୁଥିବା ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ୟ୍ଯ କର୍ମସବୁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଦାସମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦେଖିବାକୁ ଦିଅ ଏବଂ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ସନ୍ତାନଗଣଙ୍କୁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ମହିମା ଦଖାେଅ।

17 ହେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରଭୁ, ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦୟାକର। ଆମ୍ଭର କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ସମର୍ଥନ କରେ, ତଣେୁ ଦୟାକରି ଆମ୍ଭର କାର୍ୟ୍ଯକୁ ସମର୍ଥନ କର ଓ ଏହାକୁ ସଫଳ କରାଅ।

1 A Prayer of Moses the man of God.

2 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.

3 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

4 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.

5 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

6 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

7 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

8 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.

9 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

10 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.

11 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

12 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.

13 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

14 Return, O Lord, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.

15 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

16 Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.

17 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.

18 And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

1 Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.

2 Praise the Lord with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.

3 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.

4 For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth.

5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

6 By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.

8 Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

9 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

10 The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.

11 The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

13 The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.

14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.

15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.

16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield.

21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.

22 Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
