1 Girkite Viešpatį! Gera giedoti gyrių mūsų Dievui, labai malonu girti Jį!
2 Viešpats atstato Jeruzalės miestą, Izraelio tremtinius surenka.
3 Jis gydo sudužusias širdis, žaizdas jų sutvarsto.
4 Jis žvaigždes suskaičiuoja, jas visas vardais vadina.
5 Didis ir galingas yra Viešpats, Jo išmintis begalinė.
6 Romiuosius pakelia Viešpats, o nedorėlius partrenkia ant žemės.
7 Padėkos giesmes Viešpačiui giedokite, skambinkite mūsų Viešpačiui arfa!
8 Jis debesimis uždengia dangų, žemei paruošia lietų, augina žolę kalnuose.
9 Jis teikia žvėrims maistą, jaunus varniukus pamaitina.
10 Ne žirgo stiprumu Jis gėrisi ir ne žmogaus kojos Jam patinka.
11 Viešpats gėrisi tais, kurie Jo bijo, kurie viliasi Jo gailestingumu.
12 Girk, Jeruzale, Viešpatį! Savo Dievą girk, Sione!
13 Jis sustiprino tavo vartų sklendes, tavo vaikus palaimino.
14 Tavo krašte Jis duoda taiką, geriausiais kviečiais tave pasotina.
15 Jis siunčia įsakymą žemei, labai sparčiai Jo žodis atskrieja.
16 Jis sniegą kaip vilną duoda, šerkšną lyg pelenus barsto.
17 Ledus kaip duonos trupinius beria, sustingsta vanduo nuo Jo šalčio.
18 Jam žodį pasiuntus, ledas sutirpsta; kai vėjus paleidžia, vandenys teka.
19 Jokūbui savo žodį Jis paskelbė, Izraeliui savo nuostatus ir sprendimus.
20 Kitoms tautoms Jis to nepadarė, nė viena nepažino Jo sprendimų. Girkite Viešpatį!
1 Praise Yah,
for it is good to sing praises to our God;
for it is pleasant and fitting to praise him.
2 Yahweh builds up Jerusalem.
He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
3 He heals the broken in heart,
and binds up their wounds.
4 He counts the number of the stars.
He calls them all by their names.
5 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power.
His understanding is infinite.
6 Yahweh upholds the humble.
He brings the wicked down to the ground.
7 Sing to Yahweh with thanksgiving.
Sing praises on the harp to our God,
8 who covers the sky with clouds,
who prepares rain for the earth,
who makes grass grow on the mountains.
9 He provides food for the livestock,
and for the young ravens when they call.
10 He doesn’t delight in the strength of the horse.
He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.
11 Yahweh takes pleasure in those who fear him,
in those who hope in his loving kindness.
12 Praise Yahweh, Jerusalem!
Praise your God, Zion!
13 For he has strengthened the bars of your gates.
He has blessed your children within you.
14 He makes peace in your borders.
He fills you with the finest of the wheat.
15 He sends out his commandment to the earth.
His word runs very swiftly.
16 He gives snow like wool,
and scatters frost like ashes.
17 He hurls down his hail like pebbles.
Who can stand before his cold?
18 He sends out his word, and melts them.
He causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
19 He shows his word to Jacob,
his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.
20 He has not done this for just any nation.
They don’t know his ordinances.
Praise Yah!
