Psalms 141

1 Jehovah, I have called upon thee. Make haste to me. Give ear to my voice when I call to thee.

Dāvida dziesma. Kungs, Tevi es piesaucu, steidzies pie manis, klausies uz manu balsi, kad es Tevi piesaucu.

2 Let my prayer be set forth as incense before thee, the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

Lai mana lūgšana Tavā priekšā top cienīta kā kvēpināmais upuris, manu roku pacelšana kā vakara upuris.

3 Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.

Kungs, sargi manu muti un pasargi manas lūpas.

4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. And let me not eat of their dainties.

Nedod manai sirdij griezties uz ļaunu, bezdievīgu darbu darīt ar ļaundarītājiem, ka nebaudu no viņu kārumiem.

5 Let a righteous man smite me, as a kindness. And let him reprove me, as oil upon the head. Let not my head refuse it. For even in their wickedness my prayer shall continue.

Lai taisnais mani sit, tā būs žēlastība, un lai viņš mani pārmāca, tā būs eļļa uz manu galvu, tam lai mana galva neliedzās; bet es vienmēr lūdzu pret viņu ļauniem darbiem.

6 Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. And they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.

No akmens kalniem viņu soģi lai top nogāzti; tad dzirdēs manus vārdus, ka tie mīlīgi.

7 Like plowing and furrowing the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol. (Sheol h7585)

Kā zemi uzplēš un uzar, tā mūsu kauli ir izkaisīti līdz pašam kapam. (Sheol h7585)

8 For my eyes are to thee, O Jehovah the Lord. In thee do I take refuge. Leave not my soul destitute.

Bet uz Tevi, Kungs, Dievs, manas acis raugās, uz Tevi paļaujos, neatstum manu dvēseli.

9 Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, and from the traps of the workers of iniquity.

Pasargi mani no tā valga, ko tie man ir izmetuši, un no ļauna darītāju slazdiem.

10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass over.

Bezdievīgie kritīs savos tīklos, kamēr es iešu garām.
