Psalms 140
1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Free me, O Jehovah, from the evil man; preserve me from the violent man:
Dāvida dziesma, dziedātāju vadonim. Izglāb mani, Kungs, no ļauniem cilvēkiem, izrauj mani no varas darītājiem,
2 Who devise mischiefs in [their] heart; every day are they banded together for war.
Kas ļaunu domā savā sirdī, kas ikdienas saceļ karu.
3 They sharpen their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. (Selah)
Tie trin savu mēli kā čūska, odžu dzelonis ir apakš viņu lūpām. (Sela)
4 Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked [man], preserve me from the violent man, who devise to overthrow my steps.
Pasargi mani, Kungs, no bezdievīgo rokām, izglāb mani no varas darītājiem, kas domā nostumt manas kājas.
5 The proud have hidden a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the way-side; they have set traps for me. (Selah)
Tie lepnie man liek valgus un virves, tie man izpleš tīklu ceļmalā un liek man slazdus. (Sela)
6 I have said unto Jehovah, Thou art my God: give ear, O Jehovah, to the voice of my supplications.
Es saku uz To Kungu: Tu esi mans Dievs, klausies, ak Kungs, uz manas sirds lūgšanas balsi.
7 Jehovah, the Lord, is the strength of my salvation: thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
Kungs, Dievs, mans stiprais Pestītājs, Tu apsedz manu galvu kaušanas laikā.
8 Grant not, O Jehovah, the desire of the wicked; further not his device: they would exalt themselves. (Selah)
Nedod, ak Kungs, tam bezdievīgam, ko viņš kāro, un lai viņa padoms neizdodas, jo tie greznojās. (Sela)
9 [As for] the head of those that encompass me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
Tiem, kas ap mani metās, lai nāk uz viņu galvu tā nelaime, par ko tie runā.
10 Let burning coals fall on them; let them be cast into the fire; into deep waters, that they rise not up again.
Degošas ogles lai krīt uz tiem. Viņš tos gāzīs ugunī, dziļās bedrēs, ka tie vairs necelsies.
11 Let not the man of [evil] tongue be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the man of violence to [his] ruin.
Lielmutis nepastāvēs virs zemes, nelaime varmāku vajās un trieks.
12 I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted one, the right of the needy.
Es zinu, ka Tas Kungs iztiesās nabaga lietas un bēdīgā tiesu.
13 Yea, the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name; the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
Tiešām, taisnie Tavam vārdam pateiksies, sirdsskaidrie pastāvēs Tavā priekšā.
