Mezmurlar 32

¹Davut için. Coşkuyla sevinin Rab'de, ey doğrular! Dürüst olanlara yaraşır O'nu övmek.

²Lir çalarak şükredin Rab'be, on telli çenkle ezgiler sunun O'na.

³O'na yeni bir ezgi söyleyin, coşku çığlıklarıyla güzelce çalın telli sazınızı.

⁴Çünkü doğrudur Rab'bin sözü ve O'nun bütün işleri sarsılmaz bir sadakat içindedir.

⁵O, merhameti ve adaleti sever; Rab'bin merhametiyle doludur yeryüzü.

⁶Rab'bin sözüyle gökler sağlamlaştırıldı, göklerin bütün ordusu da O'nun ağzının soluğuyla kuruldu.

⁷Denizin sularını bir tulumdaymış gibi bir araya toplayan, derinlikleri depolarına koyan O'dur.

⁸Bütün yeryüzü Rab'den korksun, dünyada yaşayanların hepsi O'nun huzurunda sarsılsın.

⁹Çünkü O söyledi ve var edildiler; O buyurdu ve yaratıldılar.

¹⁰Rab bozar ulusların tasarılarını, boşa çıkarır halkların düşüncelerini ve hükümsüz kılar önderlerin tasarılarını.

¹¹Ama Rab'bin tasarısı sonsuza dek kalır, yüreğinin düşünceleri kuşaktan kuşağa sürer.

¹²Ne kutludur o ulus ki Tanrısı Rab'dir; Kendisine miras olarak seçtiği halk ne kutludur!

¹³Gökten aşağıya baktı Rab, gördü insanların bütün oğullarını.

¹⁴O'nun hazırlanmış konutundan aşağıya baktı yeryüzünde yaşayanların hepsinin üzerine.

¹⁵Onların yüreklerini tek tek şekillendiren, onların bütün işlerini anlayan O'dur.

¹⁶Ne büyük bir ordu sayesinde kurtulur bir kral, ne de bir dev kurtulacaktır kendi gücünün çokluğuyla.

¹⁷Aldatıcı bir umuttur at kurtuluş için, büyük gücüne rağmen kurtaramaz binicisini.

¹⁸İşte, Rab'bin gözleri Kendisinden korkanların, O'nun merhametine umut bağlayanların üzerindedir;

¹⁹Canlarını ölümden kurtarmak ve kıtlık zamanında onları besleyip yaşatmak için.

²⁰Canımız sabırla bekler Rab'bi, O'dur yardımcımız ve kalkanımız.

²¹Çünkü yüreğimiz O'nunla sevinecektir, O'nun kutsal adına umut bağladık biz.

²²Merhametin üzerimizde olsun, ya Rab, tıpkı Sana umut bağladığımız gibi.

¹Τῷ Δαυΐδ. - ΑΓΑΛΛΙΑΣΘΕ, δίκαιοι, ἐν Κυρίῳ· τοῖς εὐθέσι πρέπει αἴνεσις.

²ἐξομολογεῖσθε τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐν κιθάρᾳ, ἐν ψαλτηρίῳ δεκαχόρδῳ ψάλατε αὐτῷ.

³ᾄσατε αὐτῷ ᾆσμα καινόν, καλῶς ψάλατε αὐτῷ ἐν ἀλαλαγμῷ.

⁴ὅτι εὐθὴς ὁ λόγος τοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ πάντα τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ ἐν πίστει·

⁵ἀγαπᾷ ἐλεημοσύνην καὶ κρίσιν, τοῦ ἐλέους Κυρίου πλήρης ἡ γῆ.

⁶τῷ λόγῳ τοῦ Κυρίου οἱ οὐρανοὶ ἐστερεώθησαν καὶ τῷ πνεύματι τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ πᾶσα ἡ δύναμις αὐτῶν·

⁷συνάγων ὡσεὶ ἀσκὸν ὕδατα θαλάσσης, τιθεὶς ἐν θησαυροῖς ἀβύσσους.

⁸φοβηθήτω τὸν Κύριον πᾶσα ἡ γῆ, ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ δὲ σαλευθήτωσαν πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν οἰκουμένην·

⁹ὅτι αὐτὸς εἶπε καὶ ἐγενήθησαν, αὐτὸς ἐνετείλατο καὶ ἐκτίσθησαν.

¹⁰Κύριος διασκεδάζει βουλὰς ἐθνῶν, ἀθετεῖ δὲ λογισμοὺς λαῶν καὶ ἀθετεῖ βουλὰς ἀρχόντων·

¹¹ἡ δὲ βουλὴ τοῦ Κυρίου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα μένει, λογισμοὶ τῆς καρδίας αὐτοῦ εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεάν.

¹²μακάριον τὸ ἔθνος, οὗ ἐστι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς αὐτοῦ, λαός, ὃν ἐξελέξατο εἰς κληρονομίαν ἑαυτῷ.

¹³ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἐπέβλεψεν ὁ Κύριος, εἶδε πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν ἀνθρώπων·

¹⁴ἐξ ἑτοίμου κατοικητηρίου αὐτοῦ ἐπέβλεψεν ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν γῆν,

¹⁵ὁ πλάσας κατὰ μόνας τὰς καρδίας αὐτῶν, ὁ συνιεὶς πάντα τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν.

¹⁶οὐ σῴζεται βασιλεὺς διὰ πολλὴν δύναμιν, καὶ γίγας οὐ σωθήσεται ἐν πλήθει ἰσχύος αὐτοῦ.

¹⁷ψευδὴς ἵππος εἰς σωτηρίαν, ἐν δὲ πλήθει δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ οὐ σωθήσεται.

¹⁸ἰδοὺ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ Κυρίου ἐπὶ τοὺς φοβουμένους αὐτὸν τοὺς ἐλπίζοντας ἐπὶ τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ,

¹⁹ῥύσασθαι ἐκ θανάτου τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν καὶ διαθρέψαι αὐτοὺς ἐν λιμῷ.

²⁰ἡ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν ὑπομενεῖ τῷ Κυρίῳ, ὅτι βοηθὸς καὶ ὑπερασπιστὴς ἡμῶν ἐστιν·

²¹ὅτι ἐν αὐτῷ εὐφρανθήσεται ἡ καρδία ἡμῶν, καὶ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τῷ ἁγίῳ αὐτοῦ ἠλπίσαμεν.

²²γένοιτο, Κύριε, τὸ ἔλεός σου ἐφ᾿ ἡμᾶς, καθάπερ ἠλπίσαμεν ἐπὶ σέ.

¹[[A Psalm] of David.] Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; praise becomes the upright.

²Praise the Lord on the harp; play to him on a psaltery of ten strings.

³Sing to him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise.

⁴For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are faithful.

⁵He loves mercy and judgment; the earth is full of the Lord's mercy.

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

⁷Who gathers the waters of the sea as [in] a bottle; who lays up the deeps in treasuries.

⁸Let all the earth fear the Lord; and let all that dwell in the world be moved because of him.

⁹For he spoke, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.

¹⁰The Lord frustrates the counsels of the nations; he brings to nought also the reasonings of the peoples, and brings to nought the counsels of princes.

¹¹But the counsel of the Lord endures for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.

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

¹³The Lord looks out of heaven; he beholds all the sons of men.

¹⁴He looks from his prepared habitation on all the dwellers on the earth;

¹⁵who fashioned their hearts alone; who understands all their works.

¹⁶A king is not saved by reason of a great host; and a giant shall not be delivered by the greatness of his strength.

¹⁷A horse is vain for safety; neither shall he be delivered by the greatness of his power.

¹⁸Behold, the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him, those that hope in his mercy;

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

²⁰Our soul waits on the Lord; for he is our helper and defender.

²¹For our heart shall rejoice in him, and we have hoped in his holy name.

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