Psalmi 40
1 Dāvida dziesma. Dziedātāju vadonim. Es gaidu gaidīdams uz To Kungu, Viņš griežas pie manis un paklausa manu kliegšanu.
For the leader. A psalm of David. For the Lord I waited and waited, till, inclining to me, he heard my cry.
2 Jo Viņš mani izvilka no briesmīgas bedres un no dubļainām dūņām un cēla manas kājas uz akmens kalnu un stiprināja manus soļus.
From the horrible pit he drew me, up out of the miry clay; he set my feet on a rock, and my steps he made firm.
3 Un ir licis manā mutē jaunu dziesmu, teikšanas dziesmu mūsu Dievam; daudzi to redzēs un bīsies un cerēs uz To Kungu.
He put a new song in my mouth, of praise to our God. Many see it, and, filled with awe, put their trust in the Lord.
4 Svētīgs tas vīrs, kas savu cerību liek uz To Kungu, un negriežās pie tiem lepniem un pie tiem, kas ar meliem tinās.
Happy the person who has put in the Lord their trust, not looking to false gods or turning to idols.
5 Kungs, mans Dievs, lieli ir Tavi brīnumi, ko Tu mums parādi, un Tavi padomi; nekas Tev nav līdzinājams. Es tos gribu pasludināt un izteikt, tie nav izskaitāmi.
With us you have wrought in rich measure, O Lord our God, your marvels and purposes for us – none may compare with you – were I to declare or to tell them, past counting are they.
6 Upuri un ēdami upuri Tev nepatīk, ausis Tu man esi atvēris; dedzināmos upurus un grēku upurus Tu neprasi.
In offerings bloody or bloodless you have no delight, but with open ears you have made me. Burnt-offering and offering for sin are not what you ask.
7 Tad es sacīju: Redzi, es nāku, grāmatā stāv par mani rakstīts.
Then said I, ‘Here I am, as the roll of the book has enjoined.
8 Man ir prieks, darīt Tavu prātu, mans Dievs, un Tava bauslība ir manā sirds dziļumā.
My delight, O God, is to do your will, and your law is within my heart.’
9 Es sludināšu taisnību lielā draudzē; redzi, savas lūpas es neaizdarīšu; Kungs, Tu to zini.
Well, O Lord, you know that, with lips unrestrained, your righteousness I told in the great congregation,
10 Tavu taisnību es neslēpju savā sirdī, no Tavas patiesības un pestīšanas es runāju, Tavu žēlastību un uzticību es neslēpju lielā draudzē.
not hiding it in my heart. I have told of your steadfast help, from the great congregation I hid not your love and your faithfulness.
11 Tu, ak Kungs, nenovērs Savu apžēlošanu no manis; lai Tava žēlastība un patiesība vienmēr mani pasargā!
So do not restrain, Lord, your pity from us. Your love and your faithfulness – ever may they be our shield.
12 Jo ap mani ir apmetušās bēdas, ko nevar skaitīt, mani noziegumi mani sagrābuši, ka nevaru redzēt; viņu ir vairāk, nekā matu uz manas galvas, un mana sirds mani atstājusi.
For evils that cannot be numbered have compassed me round. My transgressions have followed me up – I can bear it no more. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has forsaken me.
13 Lai tev patīk, Kungs, mani izglābt, steidzies, ak Kungs, man palīgā!
O Lord, be pleased to deliver me, haste to my help, O Lord.
14 Lai top kaunā un kopā paliek par apsmieklu, kas manu dvēseli meklē, to samaitāt; lai top dzīti atpakaļ un paliek kaunā, kas par manu nelaimi priecājās!
May those who are seeking my life be ashamed and confounded together; may those who delight in my hurt be defeated and brought to dishonour.
15 Lai savas bezkaunības dēļ tie iztrūcinājās, kas no manis saka: tā, tā.
May those who hurrah over me be dumbfounded because of their shame.
16 Lai priecājās un līksmojās iekš Tevis visi, kas Tevi meklē, un lai tie, kas Tavu pestīšanu mīļo, allažiņ saka: Tas Kungs ir augsti teicams.
But may all who seek after you rejoice and be glad in you. May all those eager for your aid, say, ‘Great is the Lord’ evermore.
17 Gan es esmu bēdīgs un nabags, bet Tas Kungs par mani gādā. Tu esi mans palīgs un mans glābējs; ak, mans Dievs, nekavējies!
I am weak and needy, yet the Lord cares for me. You are my help and deliverer; don’t delay, my God.
