Psalm 120

1 संकट के समय मैं ने यहोवा को पुकारा, और उसने मेरी सुन ली।

2 हे यहोवा, झूठ बोलने वाले मुंह से और छली जीभ से मेरी रक्षा कर॥

3 हे छली जीभ, तुझ को क्या मिले? और तेरे साथ और क्या अधिक किया जाए?

4 वीर के नोकीले तीर और झाऊ के अंगारे!

5 हाय, हाय, क्योंकि मुझे मेशेक में परदेशी होकर रहना पड़ा और केदार के तम्बुओं में बसना पड़ा है!

6 बहुत काल से मुझ को मेल के बैरियों के साथ बसना पड़ा है।

7 मैं तो मेल चाहता हूं; परन्तु मेरे बोलते ही, वे लड़ना चाहते हैं!

1 A Song of degrees.

2 In my distress I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me.

3 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

4 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?

5 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

6 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

7 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

8 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

0 David’s Psalm of praise.

1 I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.

2 Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.

3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.

4 One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.

5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.

6 And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.

7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.

8 The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.

9 The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.

10 All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord; and thy saints shall bless thee.

11 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power;

12 To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.

13 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.

14 The Lord upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.

15 The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season.

16 Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

17 The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.

18 The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.

19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.

20 The Lord preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.

21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
