ગીતશાસ્ત્ર 109
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. God of my praise, don’t remain silent,
for they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit against me. They have spoken to me with a lying tongue.
They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.
In return for my love, they are my adversaries; but I am in prayer.
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 a wicked man over him. Let an adversary stand at his right hand.
When he is judged, let him come out guilty. Let his prayer be turned into sin.
Let his days be few. Let another take his office.
Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
Let his children be wandering beggars. Let them be sought from their ruins.
Let the creditor seize all that he has. Let strangers plunder the fruit of his labour.
Let there be no one to extend kindness to him, neither let there be anyone to have pity on his fatherless children.
Let his posterity be cut off. In the generation following let their name be blotted out.
Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by the LORD. Don’t let the sin of his mother be blotted out.
Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off their memory 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 he didn’t remember to show kindness, but persecuted the poor and needy man, the broken in heart, to kill them.
17 ૧૭ બીજાઓને શાપ આપવામાં તે ખુશ હતો; માટે એ શાપ તેને લાગો. તે આશીર્વાદને ધિક્કારતો; તેથી તેના પર કોઈ આશીર્વાદ ન આવો.
Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him. He didn’t delight in blessing, and it was 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.
He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment. It came into his inward parts like water, like oil into his bones.
Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself, for the belt that is always around him.
This is the reward of my adversaries from the LORD, of those who 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 deal with me, GOD the Lord, for your name’s sake, because your loving kindness is good, deliver me;
for I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded within me.
I fade away like an evening shadow. I am shaken off like a locust.
My knees are weak through fasting. My body is thin and lacks fat.
25 ૨૫ હું સર્વ માણસો માટે નિષ્ફળતાનું પ્રતીક બન્યો છું; જ્યારે તેઓ મને જુએ છે, ત્યારે તેઓ પોતાના માથાં હલાવે છે.
I have also become a reproach to them. When they see me, they shake their head.
Help me, LORD, my God. Save me according to your loving kindness;
that they may know that this is your hand; that you, LORD, have 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.
They may curse, but you bless. When they arise, they will be shamed, but your servant shall rejoice.
Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonour. Let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.
I will give great thanks to the LORD with my mouth. Yes, I will praise him amongst 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 needy, to save him from those who judge his soul.
