भजनसंग्रह 141
1 हे परमप्रभु, मैले तपाईंलाई गुहार माँगेर प्रार्थना गरिरहेको बेला मलाई सुनि दिनुहोस्। चाँडो आएर मलाई साथ दिनुहोस्।
2 परमप्रभु, मेरो प्रार्थना स्वीकार गर्नुहोस्, यो जलिरहेको धूपको उपहार जस्तो होस् यो साँझको बेलाको बलिदान जस्तो होस्।
3 हे परमप्रभु, मैले भनेका कुराहरूमा अधीन गर्न मलाई सहायता दिनुहोस्। म के भन्छु त्यस विषयमा होशियार हुन सहायता गर्नुहोस्।
4 मलाई नराम्रो कुरा गर्ने चाहना तर्फ नफर्काउनु होस्, जब दुष्ट मानिसहरूले अनुचित काम गर्छन् मलाई दुष्ट तिनीहरूसित सामिल हुन देखि जोगाउनु होस्। मलाई ती कुराहरूमा सहभागी हुन देखि जोगाउनु होस, जुन कुरामा ती दुष्ट मानिसहरूले आनन्द लिइरहेका हुन्छन्।
5 म त्यसलाई दया सम्झने थिएँ, यदि एकजना धर्मी मानिसले मलाई पिटोस्। तपाईंका भक्तजनहरूले मलाई चेताउनी दिऊन्। तिनीहरूलाई त्यसो गर्न असल हुन्थ्यो। म ती कुराहरू स्वीकार गरौंला। तर म सधैं ती दुष्ट मानिसहरूको विरोधमानै प्रार्थना गर्नेछु।
6 तिनीहरूका अधिकारीहरूलाई दण्ड होस् तब मैले सत्य बोलेको उनीहरूले बुझ्नेछन्।
7 मानिसहरूले खन्दै र जोत्दै जमीन वरिपरि मैला थुपारे वा फिंजाए। यस्तै प्रकारले, हाम्रा हड्डीहरू तिनीहरूका चिहानमा वरिपरि फिंजिएर गए।
8 हे परमप्रभु मेरो स्वामी, मैले तपाईंको सहायता खोजें म तपाईंमा भरोसा गर्छु मलाई मर्न नदिनु होस्।
9 दुष्ट मानिसहरूले मेरो लागि पासो थापे। मलाई ती पासोहरूमा फस्न नदिनुहोस्। मलाई पासोमा पर्न नदिनुहोस्।
10 ती दुष्ट मानिसहरू आफ्नै पासोमा आफैं फसुन् ता कि म चाँहि त्यहाँबाट उम्कनसकूँ।
1 A Psalm of David.
2 Lord, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.
3 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
4 Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
5 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
6 Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
7 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
8 Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.
9 But mine eyes are unto thee, O God the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
10 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
11 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
1 And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.
2 And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife.
3 Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.
4 But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the Lord, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.
5 Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.
6 And the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.
7 And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.
8 And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion.
9 And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion.
10 So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
11 And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
12 And Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments:
13 But if ye cannot declare it me, then shall ye give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments. And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it.
14 And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle.
15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson’s wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father’s house with fire: have ye called us to take that we have? is it not so?
16 And Samson’s wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and hast not told it me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell it thee?
17 And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she lay sore upon him: and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
18 And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.
19 And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father’s house.
20 But Samson’s wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.
