Psalms 56

1 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Silent Dove in Distant Lands.” A poem by David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath. Be merciful to me, God, for man wants to swallow me up. All day long, he attacks and oppresses me.

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 want to swallow me up all day long, for they are many who fight proudly against me.

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

3 When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.

Baiļu dienā es uz Tevi paļaujos.

4 In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?

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

5 All day long they twist my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.

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

6 They conspire and lurk, watching my steps. They are eager to take my life.

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

7 Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, God.

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

8 You count my wanderings. You put my tears into your container. Are not they in your book?

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

9 Then my enemies shall turn back in the day that I call. I know this: that God is for me.

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

10 In God, I will praise his word. In the LORD, I will praise his word.

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

11 I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

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

12 Your vows are on me, God. I will give thank offerings to you.

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

13 For you have delivered my soul from death, and prevented my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.

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