ગીતશાસ્ત્ર 109
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
They encompassed me also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
For my love they are my adversaries: but I [give myself to] prayer.
And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
6 ૬ મારા શત્રુનો સામનો કરવા માટે એક દુષ્ટ માણસને નિયુક્ત કરો; તેને જમણે હાથે કોઈ અપ્રામાણિકને ઊભો રાખો.
Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
Let his days be few; [and] let another take his office.
Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek [their bread] also out of their desolate places.
Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let strangers spoil his labor.
Let there be none to extend mercy to him: neither let there be any to favor his fatherless children.
Let his posterity be cut off; [and] in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
16 ૧૬ કારણ કે તેણે બીજાઓ પ્રત્યે દયા કરવાનું ચાહ્યું નહિ, પણ નિરુત્સાહીની હત્યા કરવા માટે અને ગરીબ તથા જરૂરતમંદને સતાવ્યા.
Because that he remembered not to show mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
17 ૧૭ બીજાઓને શાપ આપવામાં તે ખુશ હતો; માટે એ શાપ તેને લાગો. તે આશીર્વાદને ધિક્કારતો; તેથી તેના પર કોઈ આશીર્વાદ ન આવો.
As he loved cursing, so let it come to him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
18 ૧૮ તેણે વસ્ત્રની જેમ પોતાના શરીર પર શાપ ધારણ કર્યો હતો અને તેનો શાપ પાણીની માફક તેના અંતઃકરણમાં તેના હાડકામાં તેલની જેમ પ્રસરી જતો હતો.
As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.
Let it be to him as the garment [which] covereth him, and for a girdle with which he is girded continually.
[Let] this [be] the reward of my adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
21 ૨૧ હે યહોવાહ, મારા પ્રભુ, તમે તમારા નામની ખાતર મારા માટે લડો. કેમ કે તમારી કૃપા ઉત્તમ છે, મારો બચાવ કરો.
But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy [is] good, deliver thou me.
For I [am] poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.
25 ૨૫ હું સર્વ માણસો માટે નિષ્ફળતાનું પ્રતીક બન્યો છું; જ્યારે તેઓ મને જુએ છે, ત્યારે તેઓ પોતાના માથાં હલાવે છે.
I became also a reproach to them: [when] they looked upon me they shook their heads.
Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:
That they may know that this [is] thy hand; [that] thou, LORD, hast done it.
28 ૨૮ જો તેઓ મને શાપ આપે, તો કૃપા કરી તેમને આશીર્વાદ આપજો; જ્યારે તેઓ હુમલો કરે, ત્યારે તેઓ શરમાઈ જાઓ, પણ તમારો સેવક આનંદ કરે.
Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.
Let my adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yes, I will praise him among the multitude.
31 ૩૧ કારણ કે દરિદ્રીના આત્માને અપરાધી ઠરાવનારાઓથી ઉદ્ધાર આપવાને માટે યહોવાહ તેને જમણે હાથે ઊભા રહેશે.
For he will stand at the right hand of the poor, to save [him] from those that condemn his soul.
