Psalms 140
1 For the music director. A psalm of David. Lord, please save me from those who do evil; protect me especially from those who are violent!
Dāvida dziesma, dziedātāju vadonim. Izglāb mani, Kungs, no ļauniem cilvēkiem, izrauj mani no varas darītājiem,
2 Their minds are busy plotting evil things, stirring up trouble all day long.
Kas ļaunu domā savā sirdī, kas ikdienas saceļ karu.
3 Their tongues are as sharp as those of snakes; viper's venom is on their lips. (Selah)
Tie trin savu mēli kā čūska, odžu dzelonis ir apakš viņu lūpām. (Sela)
4 Lord, please keep me from falling into the hands of the wicked; protect me especially from those who are violent, who are plotting my downfall.
Pasargi mani, Kungs, no bezdievīgo rokām, izglāb mani no varas darītājiem, kas domā nostumt manas kājas.
5 Proud people have hidden a trap for me—they have strung out a net on the path, they have set snares to catch me. (Selah)
Tie lepnie man liek valgus un virves, tie man izpleš tīklu ceļmalā un liek man slazdus. (Sela)
6 I told the Lord, “You are my God! Lord, please listen to my cries for help!”
Es saku uz To Kungu: Tu esi mans Dievs, klausies, ak Kungs, uz manas sirds lūgšanas balsi.
7 Lord God, my powerful Savior, you covered my head like a helmet on the day of battle.
Kungs, Dievs, mans stiprais Pestītājs, Tu apsedz manu galvu kaušanas laikā.
8 God, don't allow the wicked to get what they want—don't let them be successful in what they plan so they don't become proud. (Selah)
Nedod, ak Kungs, tam bezdievīgam, ko viņš kāro, un lai viņa padoms neizdodas, jo tie greznojās. (Sela)
9 May the harm spoken against me by those who surround me fall back on them,
Tiem, kas ap mani metās, lai nāk uz viņu galvu tā nelaime, par ko tie runā.
10 Let burning coals rain down on them! Let them be thrown into the fire, or into bottomless pits, never to rise again.
Degošas ogles lai krīt uz tiem. Viņš tos gāzīs ugunī, dziļās bedrēs, ka tie vairs necelsies.
11 Don't let people who slander others live in our land. May disaster strike down violent people.
Lielmutis nepastāvēs virs zemes, nelaime varmāku vajās un trieks.
12 Yet I know the Lord defends the rights of those who are persecuted, and gives justice to the poor.
Es zinu, ka Tas Kungs iztiesās nabaga lietas un bēdīgā tiesu.
13 Truly those who live right are thankful for the kind of person you are, and those who are honest will live in your presence.
Tiešām, taisnie Tavam vārdam pateiksies, sirdsskaidrie pastāvēs Tavā priekšā.
