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।
To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David, the servant of Jehovah, who spoke to Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies and out of the hand of Saul. And he said, I will 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 trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
I will call upon Jehovah, who is to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
The bands of death encompassed me, and torrents of Belial made me afraid.
The bands of Sheol surrounded me, the cords of death encountered 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 I cried out to my God; he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, 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 quaked, and the foundations of the mountains trembled and shook, because he was wroth.
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals burned forth from it.
And he bowed the heavens, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
And he rode upon a cherub and did fly; yea, he flew fast upon the wings of the wind.
He made darkness his secret place, his tent round about him: darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
From the brightness before him his thick clouds passed forth: hail and coals of fire.
And Jehovah thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice: hail 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 his arrows, and scattered [mine enemies]; and he shot forth lightnings, 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।
And the beds of the waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were uncovered at thy rebuke, Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
He reached forth from above, he took me, he drew me out of great 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 them that hated me; for they were mightier than I.
They encountered 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।
And he 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 hath rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he 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 did not put away his statutes from me;
And I was upright with him, and kept myself from mine iniquity.
24 २४ यहोवा ने मुझे मेरी धार्मिकता के अनुसार बदला दिया, और मेरे हाथों की उस शुद्धता के अनुसार जिसे वह देखता था।
And Jehovah hath recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
25 २५ विश्वासयोग्य के साथ तू अपने को विश्वासयोग्य दिखाता; और खरे पुरुष के साथ तू अपने को खरा दिखाता है।
With the gracious thou dost shew thyself gracious; with the upright man thou dost shew thyself upright;
With the pure thou dost shew thyself pure; and with the perverse thou dost shew thyself contrary.
For it is thou that savest the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes wilt thou bring down.
For it is thou that makest my lamp to shine: Jehovah my God enlighteneth 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 have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
As for God, his way is perfect; the word of Jehovah is tried: he is a shield to all that trust in him.
For who is God save Jehovah? and who is a rock if not our God?
The God who girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect,
Who maketh my feet like hinds' [feet], and setteth me upon my high places;
Who teacheth my hands to war, and mine 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।
And thou didst give me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right hand held me up; and thy condescending gentleness hath made me great.
Thou didst enlarge my steps under me, and mine ankles have not wavered.
I pursued mine enemies, and overtook them; and I turned not again till they were consumed.
I crushed them, and they were not able to rise: they fell 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।
And thou girdedst me with strength to battle; thou didst subdue under me those that rose up against me.
And mine enemies didst thou make to turn their backs unto me, and those that hated me I destroyed.
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, and there was none to save; — unto Jehovah, and 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।
And I did beat them small as dust before the wind; I did 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 hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; thou hast made me the head of the nations: a people I knew not doth serve me.
At the hearing of the ear, they obey me: strangers come cringing unto me.
Strangers have faded away, and they come trembling forth from their close places.
Jehovah liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation,
The God who hath avenged me, and hath subjected the peoples to me;
48 ४८ और मुझे मेरे शत्रुओं से छुड़ाया है; तू मुझ को मेरे विरोधियों से ऊँचा करता, और उपद्रवी पुरुष से बचाता है।
Who hath delivered me from mine enemies: yea, thou hast lifted me up above them that rose up against me; from the man of violence hast thou delivered me.
Therefore will I give thanks to thee, Jehovah, among the nations, and will sing psalms 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।
[It is he] who giveth great deliverances to his king, and sheweth loving-kindness to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
