भजन संहिता 16

1 हे ईश्वर मेरी रक्षा कर, क्योंकि मैं तेरा ही शरणागत हूं।

2 मैं ने परमेश्वर से कहा है, कि तू ही मेरा प्रभु है; तेरे सिवाए मेरी भलाई कहीं नहीं।

3 पृथ्वी पर जो पवित्र लोग हैं, वे ही आदर के योग्य हैं, और उन्हीं से मैं प्रसन्न रहता हूं।

4 जो पराए देवता के पीछे भागते हैं उनका दु:ख बढ़ जाएगा; मैं उनके लोहू वाले तपावन नहीं तपाऊंगा और उनका नाम अपने ओठों से नहीं लूंगा॥

5 यहोवा मेरा भाग और मेरे कटोरे का हिस्सा है; मेरे बाट को तू स्थिर रखता है।

6 मेरे लिये माप की डोरी मनभावने स्थान में पड़ी, और मेरा भाग मनभावना है॥

7 मैं यहोवा को धन्य कहता हूं, क्योंकि उसने मुझे सम्मत्ति दी है; वरन मेरा मन भी रात में मुझे शिक्षा देता है।

8 मैं ने यहोवा को निरन्तर अपने सम्मुख रखा है: इसलिये कि वह मेरे दाहिने हाथ रहता है मैं कभी न डगमगाऊंगा॥

9 इस कारण मेरा हृदय आनन्दित और मेरी आत्मा मगन हुई; मेरा शरीर भी चैन से रहेगा।

10 क्योंकि तू मेरे प्राण को अधोलोक में न छोड़ेगा, न अपने पवित्र भक्त को सड़ने देगा॥

11 तू मुझे जीवन का रास्ता दिखाएगा; तेरे निकट आनन्द की भरपूरी है, तेरे दाहिने हाथ में सुख सर्वदा बना रहता है॥

1 Michtam of David.

2 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.

3 O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;

4 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

5 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.

6 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.

7 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

8 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.

9 I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

10 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

11 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

12 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

0 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.

8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.

9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.

10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.

13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.

14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.
