भजन संहिता 64
1 हे परमेश्वर, जब मैं तेरी दोहाई दूं, तब मेरी सुन; शत्रु के उपजाए हुए भय के समय मेरे प्राण की रक्षा कर।
2 कुकर्मियों की गोष्ठी से, और अनर्थकारियों के हुल्लड़ से मेरी आड़ हो।
3 उन्होंने अपनी जीभ को तलवार की नाईं तेज किया है, और अपने कड़वे वचनों के तीरों को चढ़ाया है;
4 ताकि छिपकर खरे मनुष्य को मारें; वे निडर होकर उसको अचानक मारते भी हैं।
5 वे बुरे काम करने को हियाव बान्धते हैं; वे फन्दे लगाने के विषय बातचीत करते हैं; और कहते हैं, कि हम को कौन देखेगा?
6 वे कुटिलता की युक्ति निकालते हैं; और कहते हैं, कि हम ने पक्की युक्ति खोजकर निकाली है। क्योंकि मनुष्य का मन और हृदय अथाह हैं!
7 परन्तु परमेश्वर उन पर तीर चलाएगा; वे अचानक घायल हो जाएंगे।
8 वे अपने ही वचनों के कारण ठोकर खाकर गिर पड़ेंगे; जितने उन पर दृष्टि करेंगे वे सब अपने अपने सिर हिलाएंगे
9 तब सारे लोग डर जाएंगे; और परमेश्वर के कामों का बखान करेंगे, और उसके कार्यक्रम को भली भांति समझेंगे॥
10 धर्मी तो यहोवा के कारण आनन्दित होकर उसका शरणागत होगा, और सब सीधे मन वाले बड़ाई करेंगे॥
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
2 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
3 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
4 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
5 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
6 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
7 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
8 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
9 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
10 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
11 The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
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.
