Psalms 56

1 For the music director. According to “Dove on Distant Oaks.” A psalm (miktam) of David concerning the time the Philistines captured him in Gath. God, please be gracious to me, for people are persecuting me; my attackers fight against me all day long.

Dāvida sirds dziesma dziedātāju vadonim, pēc: „mēmais balodis svešumā“; kad Fīlisti Gatā viņu bija saņēmuši. Apžēlojies par mani, ak Dievs, jo cilvēki mani grib aprīt; cauru dienu pretinieks mani apbēdina.

2 My enemies chase me down all the time—there are many of them, attacking me in their arrogance.

Mani ienaidnieki cauru dienu mani grib aprīt, jo daudz ir, kas man pretī stāv lepnībā.

3 But when I'm afraid, I trust in you.

Baiļu dienā es uz Tevi paļaujos.

4 I thank God for his promises. I trust in God, so why should I be fearful? What can mere human beings do to me?

Iekš Dieva es slavēšu Viņa vārdu, es paļaušos uz Dievu un nebīšos; ko miesa man darīs?

5 They constantly twist my words against me; they spend all their time thinking of evil things to do to me.

Cauru dienu tie pārgroza manus vārdus, visas viņu domas pret mani ir uz ļaunu.

6 They gather together in their hiding places to keep watch on me, hoping to kill me.

Tie turas kopā un glūn, tie apsargā manas pēdas, tā kā kas pēc manas dvēseles tīko.

7 Will they escape when they do so much evil? God, in anger bring these people down!

Vai tad tie ar tādu netaisnību izglābsies? Gāz zemē, ak Dievs, tos ļaudis iekš dusmības!

8 You've kept track of all my wanderings. You've collected all my tears in your bottle. You've kept a record of each one.

Tu skaiti manas bēgšanas, saņem traukā manas asaras; vai tās nav Tavā grāmatā?

9 Then those who hate me will run away when I call for your help. For I know this: God is for me!

Tad mani ienaidnieki griezīsies atpakaļ tai dienā, kad es saukšu; to es zinu, ka Dievs ir ar mani.

10 I thank God for his promises. I thank the Lord for his promises.

Iekš Dieva es slavēšu to vārdu, iekš Tā Kunga es slavēšu to vārdu.

11 I trust in God, so why should I be fearful? What can mere human beings do to me?

Es paļaujos uz Dievu, es nebīšos; ko cilvēki man var darīt?

12 God, I will keep my promises to you. I will give thank offerings to you,

Tev, Dievs, es esmu apsolījies, Tev es maksāšu pateicības upurus.

13 for you have saved me from death and kept me from falling. Now I walk in the presence of God, in the light that gives life.

Jo Tu manu dvēseli esi izglābis no nāves, ir manu dvēseli no slīdēšanas, ka es priekš Dieva vaiga staigāju dzīvības gaismā.
