daavid ka sureela geet. nirdeshak ke liye hidayat: yadootoon*+ ka. 39  mainne kaha, “main bahot saavdhani bartoongataaki apni jeebh se paap na kar baithoon.+ jab tak koi dusht mere saamne rahegatab tak main apne munh par muska* baandhe rahoonga.”+   main goonga ho gaya, kuch nahin bola,+achhi baatein kehne ke liye bhi mainne munh nahin khola,magar mera dard sahan se baahar tha.*   mera dil sulagne laga, main gehrai se sochta raha* aur aag jalti rahi. fir main bol utha,   “hey yahova, mujhe bata ki mera ant kab hoga,mere aur kitne din reh gaye hain+taaki main jaanoon ki meri zindagi kitni chhoti hai.*   vaakai, toone mujhe pal-bhar ki zindagi di hai,*+mera jeevankal tere saamne kuch bhi nahin.+ sach, har insan bas ek saans hai,fir chahe woh kitna hi surakshit kyon na dikhayi pade.+ (sela )   sach, har insan ek parchhain jaisa hai. woh bekar mein daud-dhoop* karta hai. daulat ka ambaar lagata hai, magar nahin jaanta ki kaun uska maza lega.+   isliye hey yahova, main kis par aasha rakhoon? tu hi meri aasha hai.   mujhe mere sab apradhon se chhuda le.+ moorkhon ko meri khilli udane ka mauka na de.   main khaamosh hi raha, mainne apna munh nahin khola+kyonki yah toone kiya hai.+ 10  toone mujh par jo kehar dhaaya, use hata de. main tere haath ki maar sehte-sehte past ho gaya hoon. 11  tu aadmi ko uske kiye ki saza dekar sudhaarta hai,+woh jin cheezon ko khazane ki tarah sambhaalkar rakhta hai,unhein tu mita deta hai jaise kapad-keeda kapda chat kar jaata hai. sach, har insan bas ek saans hai.+ (sela ) 12  hey yahova, meri prarthna sun,meri madad ki pukar par dhyan de.+ mere aansuon ko andekha na kar. kyonki main teri nazar mein bas ek pardesi hoon,+ek musafir,* jaise mere sabhi baap-daade the.+ 13  apni krodh-bhari nazrein mujhse fer le taaki meri khushi laut aaye,isse pehale ki main markar mit jaaun.”
