स्तोत्रसंहिता 140
For the end, a Psalm of David. Rescue me, O Lord, from the evil man; deliver me from the unjust man.
Who have devised injustice in their hearts; all the day they prepared war.
They have sharpened their tongue as [the tongue] of a serpent; the poison of asps is under their lips. (Pause)
4 ४ हे परमेश्वरा, मला दुष्टांच्या हातातून वाचव; मला जुलमी मनुष्यांपासून सुरक्षित ठेव. त्यांनी मला ढकलण्याची योजना केली आहे.
Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the sinner; rescue me from unjust men; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
5 ५ गर्विष्ठांनी माझ्यासाठी पाश व दोऱ्या लपवून ठेविल्या आहेत; त्यांनी रस्त्याच्या बाजूला जाळे पसरले आहे; त्यांनी माझ्यासाठी सापळा लावला आहे.
The proud have hid a snare for me, and have stretched out ropes [for] snares for my feet; they set a stumbling block for me near the path. (Pause)
I said to the Lord, You are my God; listen, O Lord, to the voice of my supplication.
O Lord God, the strength of my salvation; you have screened my head in the day of battle.
8 ८ हे परमेश्वरा, दुष्टांच्या इच्छा पुरवू नको, त्यांच्या दुष्ट योजना यशस्वी होऊ देऊ नकोस. नाही तर ते उन्मत्त होतील.
Deliver me not, O Lord, to the sinner, according to my desire: they have devised [mischief] against me; forsake me not, lest they should be exalted. (Pause)
[As for] the head of them that compass me, the mischief of their lips shall cover them.
10 १० त्यांच्यावर जळते निखारे पडोत; त्यांना अग्नीत टाकले जावो, ज्यातून त्यांना उठून वर कधीही येता येणार नाही अशा खड्‌यात फेकण्यात येवो.
Coals of fire shall fall upon them on the earth; and you shall cast them down in afflictions: they shall not bear up [under them].
A talkative man shall not prosper on the earth: evils shall hunt the unrighteous man to destruction.
I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the poor, and the right of the needy ones.
Surely the righteous shall give thanks to your name: the upright shall dwell in your presence.
