Psalmi 140
1 Dāvida dziesma, dziedātāju vadonim. Izglāb mani, Kungs, no ļauniem cilvēkiem, izrauj mani no varas darītājiem,
To the leader. A Psalm of David. Rescue me, Lord, from evil people; from the violent guard me
2 Kas ļaunu domā savā sirdī, kas ikdienas saceļ karu.
from those who plot evil in their heart, and stir up war continually:
3 Tie trin savu mēli kā čūska, odžu dzelonis ir apakš viņu lūpām. (Sela)
who make their tongue as sharp as a serpent’s, and under whose lips is the poison of adders. (Selah)
4 Pasargi mani, Kungs, no bezdievīgo rokām, izglāb mani no varas darītājiem, kas domā nostumt manas kājas.
Preserve me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked, from the violent guard me from those who are plotting to trip up my feet.
5 Tie lepnie man liek valgus un virves, tie man izpleš tīklu ceļmalā un liek man slazdus. (Sela)
The proud have hidden a trap for me, cords they have spread as a net for my feet: snares they have set at the side of my track. (Selah)
6 Es saku uz To Kungu: Tu esi mans Dievs, klausies, ak Kungs, uz manas sirds lūgšanas balsi.
I have said to the Lord, ‘My God are you; attend, Lord, to my loud plea.
7 Kungs, Dievs, mans stiprais Pestītājs, Tu apsedz manu galvu kaušanas laikā.
O Lord my Lord, my saviour mighty, you did cover my head in the day of battle.
8 Nedod, ak Kungs, tam bezdievīgam, ko viņš kāro, un lai viņa padoms neizdodas, jo tie greznojās. (Sela)
Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked; and what they have purposed, promote you not.’ (Selah)
9 Tiem, kas ap mani metās, lai nāk uz viņu galvu tā nelaime, par ko tie runā.
Let them not lift up their heads against me. May the mischief they prate bring themselves to destruction,
10 Degošas ogles lai krīt uz tiem. Viņš tos gāzīs ugunī, dziļās bedrēs, ka tie vairs necelsies.
may he rain upon them coals of fire, may he strike them down swiftly, to rise no more,
11 Lielmutis nepastāvēs virs zemes, nelaime varmāku vajās un trieks.
no place in the land may there be for the slanderer: may the violent be hunted from sorrow to sorrow.
12 Es zinu, ka Tas Kungs iztiesās nabaga lietas un bēdīgā tiesu.
I know that the Lord will do right by the weak, and will execute justice for those who are needy.
13 Tiešām, taisnie Tavam vārdam pateiksies, sirdsskaidrie pastāvēs Tavā priekšā.
Surely the righteous shall praise your name, and they who are upright shall live in your presence.
