Psalm 27

1 यहोवा परमेश्वर मेरी ज्योति और मेरा उद्धार है; मैं किस से डरूं? यहोवा मेरे जीवन का दृढ़ गढ़ ठहरा है, मैं किस का भय खाऊं?

2 जब कुकर्मियों ने जो मुझे सताते और मुझी से बैर रखते थे, मुझे खा डालने के लिये मुझ पर चढ़ाई की, तब वे ही ठोकर खाकर गिर पड़े॥

3 चाहे सेना भी मेरे विरुद्ध छावनी डाले, तौभी मैं न डरूंगा; चाहे मेरे विरुद्ध लड़ाई ठन जाए, उस दशा में भी मैं हियाव बान्धे निशचिंत रहूंगा॥

4 एक वर मैं ने यहोवा से मांगा है, उसी के यत्न में लगा रहूंगा; कि मैं जीवन भर यहोवा के भवन में रहने पाऊं, जिस से यहोवा की मनोहरता पर दृष्टि लगाए रहूं, और उसके मन्दिर में ध्यान किया करूं॥

5 क्योंकि वह तो मुझे विपत्ति के दिन में अपने मण्डप में छिपा रखेगा; अपने तम्बू के गुप्त स्थान में वह मुझे छिपा लेगा, और चट्टान पर चढ़ाएगा।

6 अब मेरा सिर मेरे चारों ओर के शत्रुओं से ऊंचा होगा; और मैं यहोवा के तम्बू में जयजयकार के साथ बलिदान चढ़ाऊंगा; और उसका भजन गाऊंगा॥

7 हे यहोवा, मेरा शब्द सुन, मैं पुकारता हूं, तू मुझ पर अनुग्रह कर और मुझे उत्तर दे।

8 तू ने कहा है, कि मेरे दर्शन के खोजी हो। इसलिये मेरा मन तुझ से कहता है, कि हे यहोवा, तेरे दर्शन का मैं खोजी रहूंगा।

9 अपना मुख मुझ से न छिपा॥ अपने दास को क्रोध करके न हटा, तू मेरा सहायक बना है। हे मेरे उद्धार करने वाले परमेश्वर मुझे त्याग न दे, और मुझे छोड़ न दे!

10 मेरे माता पिता ने तो मुझे छोड़ दिया है, परन्तु यहोवा मुझे सम्भाल लेगा॥

11 हे यहोवा, अपने मार्ग में मेरी अगुवाई कर, और मेरे द्रोहियों के कारण मुझ को चौरस रास्ते पर ले चल।

12 मुझ को मेरे सताने वालों की इच्छा पर न छोड़, क्योंकि झूठे साक्षी जो उपद्रव करने की धुन में हैं मेरे विरुद्ध उठे हैं॥

13 यदि मुझे विश्वास न होता कि जीवितों की पृथ्वी पर यहोवा की भलाई को देखूंगा, तो मैं मूर्च्छित हो जाता।

14 यहोवा की बाट जोहता रह; हियाव बान्ध और तेरा हृदय दृढ़ रहे; हां, यहोवा ही की बाट जोहता रह!

1 A Psalm of David.

2 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

3 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

4 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

5 One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple.

6 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

7 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.

8 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

9 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek.

10 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

11 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.

12 Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

13 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

14 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

15 Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.

1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.

2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:

5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,

7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

8 And they remembered his words,

9 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.

10 It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.

11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.

12 Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.

13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.

14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened.

15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?

18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?

19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:

20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.

21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.

22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;

23 And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.

24 And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.

25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:

26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.

29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.

30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.

31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?

33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.

35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.

36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.

41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?

42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.

43 And he took it, and did eat before them.

44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:

47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

48 And ye are witnesses of these things.

49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.

52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:

53 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
