स्तोत्रसंहिता 140
To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O Jehovah, from an evil man, From one of violence Thou keepest me.
Who have devised evils in the heart, All the day they assemble [for] wars.
They sharpened their tongue as a serpent, Poison of an adder [is] under their lips. (Selah)
4 ४ हे परमेश्वरा, मला दुष्टांच्या हातातून वाचव; मला जुलमी मनुष्यांपासून सुरक्षित ठेव. त्यांनी मला ढकलण्याची योजना केली आहे.
Preserve me, Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked, From one of violence Thou keepest me, Who have devised to overthrow my steps.
5 ५ गर्विष्ठांनी माझ्यासाठी पाश व दोऱ्या लपवून ठेविल्या आहेत; त्यांनी रस्त्याच्या बाजूला जाळे पसरले आहे; त्यांनी माझ्यासाठी सापळा लावला आहे.
The proud hid a snare for me — and cords, They spread a net by the side of the path, Snares they have set for me. (Selah)
I have said to Jehovah, 'My God [art] Thou, Hear, Jehovah, the voice of my supplications.'
O Jehovah, my Lord, strength of my salvation, Thou hast covered my head in the day of armour.
8 ८ हे परमेश्वरा, दुष्टांच्या इच्छा पुरवू नको, त्यांच्या दुष्ट योजना यशस्वी होऊ देऊ नकोस. नाही तर ते उन्मत्त होतील.
Grant not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked, His wicked device bring not forth, They are high. (Selah)
The chief of my surrounders, The perverseness of their lips covereth them.
10 १० त्यांच्यावर जळते निखारे पडोत; त्यांना अग्नीत टाकले जावो, ज्यातून त्यांना उठून वर कधीही येता येणार नाही अशा खड्‌यात फेकण्यात येवो.
They cause to fall on themselves burning coals, Into fire He doth cast them, Into deep pits — they arise not.
A talkative man is not established in the earth, One of violence — evil hunteth to overflowing.
I have known that Jehovah doth execute The judgment of the afflicted, The judgment of the needy.
Only — the righteous give thanks to Thy name, The upright do dwell with Thy presence!
