Psalm 79
1 ହେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର, ଅନ୍ୟ ଦେଶୀଯ ଲୋକମାନେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଦେଶକୁ ଆକ୍ରମଣ କରିଛନ୍ତି। ସମାନେେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ପବିତ୍ର ମନ୍ଦିର ଅଶୁଚି କରିଛନ୍ତି। ସମାନେେ ୟିରୁଶାଲମକୁ ଧ୍ବସ୍ତ ବିଧ୍ବସ୍ତ କରିଛନ୍ତି।
2 ସମାନେେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ଦାସଗଣର ଶବ ଖାଦ୍ୟ ନିମନ୍ତେ ଖଚେର ପକ୍ଷୀଗଣଙ୍କୁ ଦଇେଅଛନ୍ତି। ତୁମ୍ଭର ସଦ୍ଭକ୍ତମାନଙ୍କ ମାଂସ ବନ୍ଯ ପଶୁଗଣଙ୍କୁ ଦଇେଛନ୍ତି।
3 ଶତ୍ରୁମାନେ ୟିରୂଶାଲମର ଚତୁର୍ଦ୍ଦିଗରେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ରକ୍ତକୁ ପାଣି ପରି ବୁହାଇଲେ। ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ କବର ଦବୋ ପାଇଁ କାହାରିକୁ ରଖି ନ ଥିଲେ।
4 ଆମ୍ଭ ପଡ଼ୋଶୀ ଦବଗେଣ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଅପମାନିତ କଲେ। ଆମ୍ଭର ସବୁ ଚତୁପାଶର୍ବରେ ଥିବା ଲୋକମାନେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ପରିହାସ କଲେ।
5 ହେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର, ଏହା ଆଉ କେତେ ଦିନ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ୟିବ ? ତୁମ୍ଭେ କ'ଣ ଚିରକାଳ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ଉପରେ କୋର୍ଧ କରିଥିବ ? ତୁମ୍ଭର ଅନ୍ତର କଗ୍ଦଣ ଜ୍ବାଳା ଅଗ୍ନିପରି ସର୍ବଦା ଜଳିବ ?
6 ଯେଉଁ ଜାତିମାନେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ସ୍ବୀକାର କରୁ ନାହାନ୍ତି, ଯେଉଁ ରାଜ୍ଯ ସମୂହ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଉପାସନା କରନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ, ତୁମ୍ଭର କୋର୍ଧ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ଉପରେ ଢ଼ାଳି ଦିଅ।
7 ସମାନେେ ୟାକୁବଙ୍କ ପରିବାରକୁ ଧ୍ବଂସ କରି ଅଛନ୍ତି। ଓ ସମାନେେ ତା'ର ଗୃହଭୂମିକୁ ଧ୍ବଂସ କରିଅଛନ୍ତି।
8 ଦୟାକରି ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଅତୀତର ପାପ ପାଇଁ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦଣ୍ଡ ଦିଅ ନାହିଁ। ଶୀଘ୍ର ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ଦୟା ଦଖାେଅ !ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଆଜି କ୍ଷୀଣ ହାଇେଅଛୁ।
9 ହେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ପରିତ୍ରାଣର ପରମେଶ୍ବର, ତୁମ୍ଭ ନାମର ଗୌରବ ସକାଶେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ସାହାୟ୍ଯ କର ଏବଂ ଆପଣା ନାମରେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ରକ୍ଷା କର ଏବଂ ପାପସବୁ କ୍ଷମା କର।
10 ଅନ୍ୟ ଦେଶୀଯ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିବାକୁ ଦିଅ ନାହିଁ। ସମାନଙ୍କେର ପରମେଶ୍ବର କାହାଁନ୍ତି ? ହେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର, ସହେି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦଣ୍ଡ ଦିଅ ୟାହା ଫଳରେ କି ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ମଧ୍ଯ ତାହା ଦେଖି ପାରିବୁ। ତୁମ୍ଭର ସବକମାନଙ୍କେୁ ହତ୍ଯା କରିଥିବାରୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଦଣ୍ଡ ଦିଅ।
11 ଦୟାକରି ବନ୍ଦୀମାନଙ୍କର ଆର୍ତ୍ତନାଦ ଶୁଣ। ହେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର, ତୁମ୍ଭର ମହାଶକ୍ତି ପ୍ରଯୋଗ କରି ମରଣାର୍ଥେ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ରକ୍ଷା କର।
12 ହେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର, ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତିବାସୀଗଣ ତୁମ୍ଭଙ୍କୁ ଯେଉଁ ନିନ୍ଦା କରିଛନ୍ତି, ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ସାତଗୁଣ ପ୍ରତିଫଳ ଦଣ୍ଡ ଦିଅ।
13 ତା' ହେଲେ ଆମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଲୋକ, ତୁମ୍ଭର ମଷେପଲ ସର୍ବଦା ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଧନ୍ଯବାଦ ଦବେୁ। ପିଢ଼ୀ ପରେ ପିଢ଼ୀ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ୟାହା କରିଛ, ସେଥିପାଇଁ ଆମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ପ୍ରଶଂସା କରିବୁ।
1 A Psalm of Asaph.
2 O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
3 The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.
4 Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.
5 We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
6 How long, Lord? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
7 Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
8 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.
9 O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.
10 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name’s sake.
11 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.
12 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;
13 And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.
14 So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations.
1 Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
2 Praise the Lord with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
3 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
4 For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth.
5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
6 By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
10 The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
11 The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
13 The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22 Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
