भजनसंग्रह 12

1 हे परमप्रभु, मदत गर्नुहोस्, किनकि धर्मीहरू लोप भएका छन् । विश्‍वासीचाहिं हराएको छ ।

For the Leader; on the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.

2 हरेकले आफ्ना छिमेकीलाई फोस्रा कुरा भन्छ । हरेकले चाप्लुसी ओठहरू र झुट मनले बोल्छन् ।

They speak falsehood every one with his neighbour; with flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.

3 हे परमप्रभु, चाप्लुसी सबै ओठ, ठुला कुरा गर्ने हरेक जिब्रोलाई काट्नुहोस् ।

May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh proud things!

4 यसो भन्‍ने यिनीहरू नै हुन्, “हाम्रो जिब्रोले नै हामीले जित्छौं । जब हाम्रा ओठहरू बोल्‍छन्, तब हामीमाथि को मालिक हुन सक्छ र?”

Who have said: 'Our tongue will we make mighty; our lips are with us: who is lord over us?'

5 परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “गरीबको विरुद्धमा हिंसा, दरिद्रको सुस्केराले गर्दा म उठ्‍नेछु, म सुरक्षा प्रदान गर्नेछु जसको इच्‍छा तिनीहरू गर्छन् ।”

'For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise', saith the LORD; 'I will set him in safety at whom they puff.'

6 परमप्रभुका वचनहरू पृथ्वीको भट्टिमा सातपल्‍ट शुद्ध पारिएका चाँदीझैं शुद्ध हुन्‍छन् ।

The words of the LORD are pure words, as silver tried in a crucible on the earth, refined seven times.

7 तपाईं परमप्रभु हुनुहुन्छ । तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई सुरक्षित राख्‍नुहुन्छ । तपाईंले धर्मी मानिसहरूलाई यो दुष्‍ट पुस्ताबाट र सदासर्वदा सुरक्षा दिनुहुन्छ ।

Thou wilt keep them, O LORD; Thou wilt preserve us from this generation for ever.

8 मानवजातिका छोराछोरीका माझमा खराब कुराको प्रशंसा हुँदा दुष्‍टहरू चारैतिर हिंड्‍डुल गर्छन् ।

The wicked walk on every side, when vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
