भजनसंग्रह 142

1 आफ्‍नो सोर निकालेर सहायताको निम्ति म परमप्रभुमा पुकारा गर्छु । आफ्‍नो सोर निकालेर परमप्रभुको कृपाको निम्ति म बिन्ती गर्छु ।

A maskil of David, while he was in the cave, a prayer. Loudly I cry to the Lord: to the Lord plead loudly for mercy,

2 उहाँको सामु म आफ्‍नो विलाप खन्याउँछु । उहाँलाई म आफ्‍ना कष्‍टहरू भन्‍छु ।

I pour my complaint before him, I tell my troubles to him.

3 मेरो आत्मा मभित्र कमजोर हुँदा, तपाईंले मेरो मार्ग जान्‍नुहुन्छ । म हिंड्ने बाटोमा तिनीहरूले मेरो निम्ति धराप थापेका छन् ।

When my spirit is faint within me, my path is known to you. In the way I am wont to walk in, they have hidden a trap for me.

4 म आफ्‍नो दायाँतिर हेर्छु र त्‍यहाँ एक जना पनि देख्‍दिनँ जसले मेरो वास्ता गर्छ । म बाँच्‍ने ठाउँ कहीं छैन । मेरो जीवनको बारेमा कसैले पनि वास्ता गर्दैन ।

I look to the right and the left; but not a friend have I. No place of refuge is left me, not a man to care for me.

5 हे परमप्रभु, मैले तपाईंमा पुकारा गरें । मैले भनें, “तपाईं नै मेरो शरण, जीवितहरूका देशमा मेरो भाग हुनुहुन्छ ।

So I cry to you, O Lord: I say, ‘My refuge are you, all I have in the land of the living.’

6 मेरो पुकारा सुन्‍नुहोस्, किनकि मलाई धेरै तल झारिएको छ । मेरो सतावट गर्नेहरूबाट मलाई बचाउनुहोस्, किनकि तिनीहरू मभन्दा बलिया छन् ।

Attend to my piercing cry, for very weak am I. Save me from those who pursue me, for they are too strong for me.

7 मेरो प्राणलाई कैदबाट बाहिर निकाल्नुहोस्, ताकि म तपाईंको नाउँलाई धन्यवाद दिन सकूँ । धर्मीहरू मेरो चारैतिर भेला हुन्छन् किनभने तपाईं मप्रति असल हुनुभएको छ ।”

Free me from prison, that I may give thanks to your name, for the righteous are patiently waiting till you show your bounty to me.
