Psalm 77
1 मैं परमेश्वर की दोहाई चिल्ला चिल्लाकर दूंगा, मैं परमेश्वर की दोहाई दूंगा, और वह मेरी ओर कान लगाएगा।
2 संकट के दिन मैं प्रभु की खोज में लगा रहा; रात को मेरा हाथ फैला रहा, और ढीला न हुआ, मुझ में शांति आई ही नहीं।
3 मैं परमेश्वर का स्मरण कर करके करहाता हूं; मैं चिन्ता करते करते मूर्छित हो चला हूं। (सेला)
4 तू मुझे झपक्की लगने नहीं देता; मैं ऐसा घबराया हूं कि मेरे मुंह से बात नहीं निकलती॥
5 मैंने प्राचीन काल के दिनों को, और युग युग के वर्षों को सोचा है।
6 मैं रात के समय अपने गीत को स्मरण करता; और मन में ध्यान करता हूं, और मन में भली भांति विचार करता हूं:
7 क्या प्रभु युग युग के लिये छोड़ देगा; और फिर कभी प्रसन्न न होगा?
8 क्या उसकी करूणा सदा के लिये जाती रही? क्या उसका वचन पीढ़ी पीढ़ी के लिये निष्फल हो गया है?
9 क्या ईश्वर अनुग्रह करना भूल गया? क्या उसने क्रोध करके अपनी सब दया को रोक रखा है? (सेला)
10 मैने कहा यह तो मेरी दुर्बलता ही है, परन्तु मैं परमप्रधान के दाहिने हाथ के वर्षों को विचारता हूं॥
11 मैं याह के बड़े कामों की चर्चा करूंगा; निश्चय मैं तेरे प्राचीन काल वाले अद्भुत कामों को स्मरण करूंगा।
12 मैं तेरे सब कामों पर ध्यान करूंगा, और तेरे बड़े कामों को सोचूंगा।
13 हे परमेश्वर तेरी गति पवित्रता की है। कौन सा देवता परमेश्वर के तुल्य बड़ा है?
14 अद्भुत काम करने वाला ईश्वर तू ही है, तू ने अपने देश देश के लोगों पर अपनी शक्ति प्रगट की है।
15 तू ने अपने भुजबल से अपनी प्रजा, याकूब और यूसुफ के वंश को छुड़ा लिया है॥ (सेला)
16 हे परमेश्वर समुद्र ने तुझे देखा, समुद्र तुझे देख कर ड़र गया, गहिरा सागर भी कांप उठा।
17 मेघों से बड़ी वर्षा हुई; आकाश से शब्द हुआ; फिर तेरे तीर इधर उधर चले।
18 बवणडर में तेरे गरजने का शब्द सुन पड़ा था; जगत बिजली से प्रकाशित हुआ; पृथ्वी कांपी और हिल गई।
19 तेरे मार्ग समुद्र में है, और तेरा रास्ता गहिरे जल में हुआ; और तेरे पांवों के चिन्ह मालूम नहीं होते।
20 तू ने मूसा और हारून के द्धारा, अपनी प्रजा की अगुवाई भेड़ों की सी की॥
1 To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph.
2 I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.
3 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.
4 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
5 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
6 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
7 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
8 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?
9 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?
10 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
11 And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.
12 I will remember the works of the Lord: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.
13 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.
14 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
15 Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.
16 Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
17 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.
18 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.
19 The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
20 Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.
21 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
1 Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.
2 For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass.
3 And when I heard this thing, I rent my garment and my mantle, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down astonied.
4 Then were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the transgression of those that had been carried away; and I sat astonied until the evening sacrifice.
5 And at the evening sacrifice I arose up from my heaviness; and having rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto the Lord my God,
6 And said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens.
7 Since the days of our fathers have we been in a great trespass unto this day; and for our iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to a spoil, and to confusion of face, as it is this day.
8 And now for a little space grace hath been shewed from the Lord our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage.
9 For we were bondmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended mercy unto us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to repair the desolations thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.
10 And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments,
11 Which thou hast commanded by thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land with the filthiness of the people of the lands, with their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their uncleanness.
12 Now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, nor seek their peace or their wealth for ever: that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever.
13 And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great trespass, seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such deliverance as this;
14 Should we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the people of these abominations? wouldest not thou be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor escaping?
15 O Lord God of Israel, thou art righteous: for we remain yet escaped, as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our trespasses: for we cannot stand before thee because of this.
