Psalms 140

1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. Deliuer me, O Lord, from the euill man: preserue me from the cruel man:

Dāvida dziesma, dziedātāju vadonim. Izglāb mani, Kungs, no ļauniem cilvēkiem, izrauj mani no varas darītājiem,

2 Which imagine euill things in their heart, and make warre continually.

Kas ļaunu domā savā sirdī, kas ikdienas saceļ karu.

3 They haue sharpened their tongues like a serpent: adders poyson is vnder their lips. (Selah)

Tie trin savu mēli kā čūska, odžu dzelonis ir apakš viņu lūpām. (Sela)

4 Keepe mee, O Lord, from the handes of the wicked: preserue mee from the cruell man, which purposeth to cause my steppes to slide.

Pasargi mani, Kungs, no bezdievīgo rokām, izglāb mani no varas darītājiem, kas domā nostumt manas kājas.

5 The proude haue layde a snare for me, and spred a nette with cordes in my pathway, and set grennes for me. (Selah)

Tie lepnie man liek valgus un virves, tie man izpleš tīklu ceļmalā un liek man slazdus. (Sela)

6 Therefore I saide vnto the Lord, Thou art my God: heare, O Lord, the voyce of my prayers.

Es saku uz To Kungu: Tu esi mans Dievs, klausies, ak Kungs, uz manas sirds lūgšanas balsi.

7 O Lord God the strength of my saluation, thou hast couered mine head in the day of battel.

Kungs, Dievs, mans stiprais Pestītājs, Tu apsedz manu galvu kaušanas laikā.

8 Let not the wicked haue his desire, O Lord: performe not his wicked thought, least they be proude. (Selah)

Nedod, ak Kungs, tam bezdievīgam, ko viņš kāro, un lai viņa padoms neizdodas, jo tie greznojās. (Sela)

9 As for the chiefe of them, that compasse me about, let the mischiefe of their owne lippes come vpon them.

Tiem, kas ap mani metās, lai nāk uz viņu galvu tā nelaime, par ko tie runā.

10 Let coles fal vpon them: let him cast them into the fire, and into the deepe pits, that they rise not.

Degošas ogles lai krīt uz tiem. Viņš tos gāzīs ugunī, dziļās bedrēs, ka tie vairs necelsies.

11 For the backbiter shall not be established vpon the earth: euill shall hunt the cruell man to destruction.

Lielmutis nepastāvēs virs zemes, nelaime varmāku vajās un trieks.

12 I know that the Lord will auenge the afflicted, and iudge the poore.

Es zinu, ka Tas Kungs iztiesās nabaga lietas un bēdīgā tiesu.

13 Surely the righteous shall prayse thy Name, and the iust shall dwell in thy presence.

Tiešām, taisnie Tavam vārdam pateiksies, sirdsskaidrie pastāvēs Tavā priekšā.
