Psalmi 40
1 Dāvida dziesma. Dziedātāju vadonim. Es gaidu gaidīdams uz To Kungu, Viņš griežas pie manis un paklausa manu kliegšanu.
Unto the end, a psalm for David himself. With expectation I have waited for the Lord, and he was attentive to me.
2 Jo Viņš mani izvilka no briesmīgas bedres un no dubļainām dūņām un cēla manas kājas uz akmens kalnu un stiprināja manus soļus.
And he heard my prayers, and brought me out of the pit of misery and the mire of dregs. And he set my feet upon a rock, and directed my steps.
3 Un ir licis manā mutē jaunu dziesmu, teikšanas dziesmu mūsu Dievam; daudzi to redzēs un bīsies un cerēs uz To Kungu.
And he put a new canticle into my mouth, a song to our God. Many shall see, and shall fear: and they shall hope 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.
Blessed is the man whose trust is in the name of the Lord; and who hath not had regard to vanities, and lying follies.
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.
Thou hast multiplied thy wonderful works, O Lord my God: and in thy thoughts there is no one like to thee. I have declared and I have spoken they are multiplied above number.
6 Upuri un ēdami upuri Tev nepatīk, ausis Tu man esi atvēris; dedzināmos upurus un grēku upurus Tu neprasi.
Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire; but thou hast pierced ears for me. Burnt offering and sin offering thou didst not require:
7 Tad es sacīju: Redzi, es nāku, grāmatā stāv par mani rakstīts.
Then said I, Behold I come. In the head of the book it is written of me
8 Man ir prieks, darīt Tavu prātu, mans Dievs, un Tava bauslība ir manā sirds dziļumā.
That I should do thy will: O my God, I have desired it, and thy law in the midst of my heart.
9 Es sludināšu taisnību lielā draudzē; redzi, savas lūpas es neaizdarīšu; Kungs, Tu to zini.
I have declared thy justice in a great church, lo, I will not restrain my lips: O Lord, thou knowest it.
10 Tavu taisnību es neslēpju savā sirdī, no Tavas patiesības un pestīšanas es runāju, Tavu žēlastību un uzticību es neslēpju lielā draudzē.
I have not hid thy justice within my heart: I have declared thy truth and thy salvation. I have not concealed thy mercy and thy truth from a great council.
11 Tu, ak Kungs, nenovērs Savu apžēlošanu no manis; lai Tava žēlastība un patiesība vienmēr mani pasargā!
Withhold not thou, O Lord, thy tender mercies from me: thy mercy and thy truth have always upheld me.
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 without number have surrounded me; my iniquities have overtaken me, and I was not able to see. They are multiplied above the hairs of my head: and my heart hath forsaken me.
13 Lai tev patīk, Kungs, mani izglābt, steidzies, ak Kungs, man palīgā!
Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me, look down, O Lord, to help me.
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!
Let them be confounded and ashamed together, that seek after my soul to take it away. Let them be turned backward and be ashamed that desire evils to me.
15 Lai savas bezkaunības dēļ tie iztrūcinājās, kas no manis saka: tā, tā.
Let them immediately bear their confusion, that say to me: Tis well, tis well.
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.
Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.
17 Gan es esmu bēdīgs un nabags, bet Tas Kungs par mani gādā. Tu esi mans palīgs un mans glābējs; ak, mans Dievs, nekavējies!
But I am a beggar and poor: the Lord is careful for me. Thou art my helper and my protector: O my God, be not slack.
