भजन संहिता 18
1 १ प्रधान बजानेवाले के लिये। यहोवा के दास दाऊद का गीत, जिसके वचन उसने यहोवा के लिये उस समय गाया जब यहोवा ने उसको उसके सारे शत्रुओं के हाथ से, और शाऊल के हाथ से बचाया था, उसने कहा हे यहोवा, हे मेरे बल, मैं तुझ से प्रेम करता हूँ।
I love thee, O Jehovah, my strength.
2 २ यहोवा मेरी चट्टान, और मेरा गढ़ और मेरा छुड़ानेवाला है; मेरा परमेश्वर, मेरी चट्टान है, जिसका मैं शरणागत हूँ, वह मेरी ढाल और मेरी उद्धार का सींग, और मेरा ऊँचा गढ़ है।
Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I will take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
I will call upon Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised. So I shall be saved from my enemies.
The cords of death encompassed me, and the floods of lawlessness made me afraid.
The cords of Sheol were round about me. The snares of death came upon me. (Sheol h7585)
6 ६ अपने संकट में मैंने यहोवा परमेश्वर को पुकारा; मैंने अपने परमेश्वर की दुहाई दी। और उसने अपने मन्दिर में से मेरी वाणी सुनी। और मेरी दुहाई उसके पास पहुँचकर उसके कानों में पड़ी।
In my distress I called upon Jehovah, and cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry before him came into his ears.
7 ७ तब पृथ्वी हिल गई, और काँप उठी और पहाड़ों की नींव कँपित होकर हिल गई क्योंकि वह अति क्रोधित हुआ था।
Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken because he was angry.
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured. Coals were kindled by it.
He also bowed the heavens, and came down, and thick darkness was under his feet.
And he rode upon a cherub, and flew. Yea, he soared upon the wings of the wind.
He made darkness his hiding-place, his pavilion round about him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.
Jehovah also thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice, hailstones and coals of fire.
14 १४ उसने अपने तीर चला-चलाकर शत्रुओं को तितर-बितर किया; वरन् बिजलियाँ गिरा गिराकर उनको परास्त किया।
And he sent out his arrows, and scattered them, Yea, lightnings manifold, and discomfited them.
15 १५ तब जल के नाले देख पड़े, और जगत की नींव प्रगट हुई, यह तो यहोवा तेरी डाँट से, और तेरे नथनों की साँस की झोंक से हुआ।
Then the channels of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were laid bare at thy rebuke, O Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
He sent from on high, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
17 १७ उसने मेरे बलवन्त शत्रु से, और उनसे जो मुझसे घृणा करते थे, मुझे छुड़ाया; क्योंकि वे अधिक सामर्थी थे।
He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
They came upon me in the day of my calamity, but Jehovah was my stay.
19 १९ और उसने मुझे निकालकर चौड़े स्थान में पहुँचाया, उसने मुझ को छुड़ाया, क्योंकि वह मुझसे प्रसन्न था।
He also brought me forth into a large place. He delivered me because he delighted in me.
20 २० यहोवा ने मुझसे मेरी धार्मिकता के अनुसार व्यवहार किया; और मेरे हाथों की शुद्धता के अनुसार उसने मुझे बदला दिया।
Jehovah has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands he has recompensed me.
For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
For all his ordinances were before me, and I put not away his statutes from me.
I was also perfect with him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.
24 २४ यहोवा ने मुझे मेरी धार्मिकता के अनुसार बदला दिया, और मेरे हाथों की उस शुद्धता के अनुसार जिसे वह देखता था।
Therefore Jehovah has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
25 २५ विश्वासयोग्य के साथ तू अपने को विश्वासयोग्य दिखाता; और खरे पुरुष के साथ तू अपने को खरा दिखाता है।
With the merciful thou will show thyself merciful. With the perfect man thou will show thyself perfect.
With the pure thou will show thyself pure. And with the perverse thou will show thyself contrary.
For thou will save the afflicted people, but the haughty eyes thou will bring down.
For thou will light my lamp. Jehovah my God will lighten my darkness.
29 २९ क्योंकि तेरी सहायता से मैं सेना पर धावा करता हूँ; और अपने परमेश्वर की सहायता से शहरपनाह को लाँघ जाता हूँ।
For by thee I run upon a troop, and by my God I leap over a wall.
As for God, his way is perfect. The word of Jehovah is tried. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
For who is God, except Jehovah? And who is a rock, besides our God,
the God who girds me with strength, and makes my way perfect?
He makes my feet like hinds' feet, and sets me upon my high places.
He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of brass.
35 ३५ तूने मुझ को अपने बचाव की ढाल दी है, तू अपने दाहिने हाथ से मुझे सम्भाले हुए है, और तेरी नम्रता ने मुझे महान बनाया है।
Thou have also given me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right hand has held me up, and thy gentleness has made me great.
Thou have enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.
I will pursue my enemies, and overtake them. Neither will I turn again till they are consumed.
I will smite them through, so that they shall not be able to rise. They shall fall under my feet.
39 ३९ क्योंकि तूने युद्ध के लिये मेरी कमर में शक्ति का पटुका बाँधा है; और मेरे विरोधियों को मेरे सम्मुख नीचा कर दिया।
For thou have girded me with strength to the battle. Thou have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
Thou have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
41 ४१ उन्होंने दुहाई तो दी परन्तु उन्हें कोई बचानेवाला न मिला, उन्होंने यहोवा की भी दुहाई दी, परन्तु उसने भी उनको उत्तर न दिया।
They cried, but there was none to save, even to Jehovah, but he answered them not.
42 ४२ तब मैंने उनको कूट कूटकर पवन से उड़ाई हुई धूल के समान कर दिया; मैंने उनको मार्ग के कीचड़ के समान निकाल फेंका।
Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind. I cast them out as the mire of the streets.
43 ४३ तूने मुझे प्रजा के झगड़ों से भी छुड़ाया; तूने मुझे अन्यजातियों का प्रधान बनाया है; जिन लोगों को मैं जानता भी न था वे मेरी सेवा करते है।
Thou have delivered me from the strivings of the people. Thou have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.
As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me. The foreigners shall submit themselves to me.
The foreigners shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their close places.
Jehovah lives, and blessed be my rock, and exalted be the God of my salvation,
even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me.
48 ४८ और मुझे मेरे शत्रुओं से छुड़ाया है; तू मुझ को मेरे विरोधियों से ऊँचा करता, और उपद्रवी पुरुष से बचाता है।
He rescues me from my enemies. Yea, thou lift me up above those who rise up against me. Thou deliver me from the violent man.
Therefore I will give thanks to thee, O Jehovah, among the Gentiles, and will sing praises to thy name.
50 ५० वह अपने ठहराए हुए राजा को महान विजय देता है, वह अपने अभिषिक्त दाऊद पर और उसके वंश पर युगानुयुग करुणा करता रहेगा।
He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore.
