Psalms 18
1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD, who spoke unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul; And he said: I love thee, O LORD, my strength.
Dziedātāju vadonim, Dāvida, Tā Kunga kalpa, dziesma. Šīs dziesmas vārdus viņš runājis uz To Kungu, kad Tas Kungs viņu bija izglābis no visu ienaidnieku rokas un no Saula rokas; tad viņš sacīja: No sirds dziļuma es Tevi mīlēju, Kungs, mans stiprums.
2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in Him I take refuge; my shield, and my horn of salvation, my high tower.
Tas Kungs ir mans akmens kalns, mana pils un mans glābējs, mans stiprais Dievs, mans patvērums, uz ko es paļaujos, manas priekšturamās bruņas un mans pestīšanas rags un mans augstais palīgs.
3 Praised, I cry, is the LORD, and I am saved from mine enemies.
Es piesaukšu To Kungu, kas teicams, tad es tapšu atpestīts no saviem ienaidniekiem.
4 The cords of Death compassed me, and the floods of Belial assailed me.
Nāves saites ap mani tinās, un Beliala(iznīcības) upes mani izbiedēja.
Elles saites mani apņēma, un nāves valgi mani pārvarēja. (Sheol h7585)
6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God; out of His temple He heard my voice, and my cry came before Him unto His ears.
Savās bēdās es piesaucu To Kungu un kliedzu uz savu Dievu, tad Viņš klausīja manu balsi no Sava nama, un mana brēkšana Viņa priekšā nāca Viņa ausīs.
7 Then the earth did shake and quake, the foundations also of the mountains did tremble; they were shaken, because He was wroth.
Zeme tapa kustināta un drebēja, un kalnu pamati trīcēja un kustējās, kad Viņš apskaitās.
8 Smoke arose up in His nostrils, and fire out of His mouth did devour; coals flamed forth from Him.
Dūmi uzkāpa no Viņa nāsīm, un rijoša uguns no Viņa mutes, zibeņi no Viņa iedegās.
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and thick darkness was under His feet.
Viņš nolaida debesis un nokāpa, un tumsa bija apakš Viņa kājām.
10 And He rode upon a cherub, and did fly; yea, He did swoop down upon the wings of the wind.
Un Viņš brauca uz ķeruba un skrēja, Viņš skrēja ātri uz vēja spārniem.
11 He made darkness His hiding-place, His pavilion round about Him; darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
Viņš lika tumsību Sev par apsegu, Viņa dzīvoklis ap Viņu bija ūdeņu tumsība un biezi padebeši.
12 At the brightness before Him, there passed through His thick clouds hailstones and coals of fire.
No spožuma Viņa priekšā šķēlās Viņa padebeši ar krusu un degošiem zibeņiem.
13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Most High gave forth His voice; hailstones and coals of fire.
Tas Kungs lika pērkoniem rībēt no debesīm, un tas Visuaugstais pacēla Savu balsi, krusu un degošus zibeņus.
14 And He sent out His arrows, and scattered them; and He shot forth lightnings, and discomfited them.
Un Viņš meta Savas bultas un tos izklīdināja, un daudz zibeņus un tos iztrūcināja.
15 And the channels of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were laid bare, at Thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of Thy nostrils.
Un ūdeņu dziļumi rādījās un zemes pamati tapa atklāti no Tavas bāršanās, - ak Kungs, no Tavu nāšu dvašas pūšanas.
16 He sent from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters.
Viņš izstiepa roku no augstības un ņēma mani, Viņš mani izvilka no lieliem ūdeņiem.
17 He delivered me from mine enemy most strong, and from them that hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
Viņš mani atpestīja no mana stiprā ienaidnieka un no maniem nīdētājiem, jo tie bija jo vareni ne kā es.
18 They confronted me in the day of my calamity; but the LORD was a stay unto me.
Tie cēlās pret mani manā bēdu laikā; bet Tas Kungs bija mans patvērums.
19 He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because He delighted in me.
Un Viņš mani izveda klajumā, Viņš mani izrāva, jo Viņam bija labs prāts uz mani.
20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath He recompensed me.
Tas Kungs man atmaksā pēc manas taisnības, pēc manu roku šķīstības Viņš man atdod.
21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Jo es esmu sargājis Tā Kunga ceļus, un neesmu atkāpies no sava Dieva.
22 For all His ordinances were before me, and I put not away His statutes from me.
Jo visas Viņa tiesas ir manā priekšā, un Viņa likumus es nelieku nost no sevis.
23 And I was single-hearted with Him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
Bet es esmu bezvainīgs Viņa priekšā un sargos no grēkiem.
24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His eyes.
Un Tas Kungs man atdos pēc manas taisnības, pēc manu roku šķīstības priekš Viņa acīm.
25 With the merciful Thou dost show Thyself merciful, with the upright man Thou dost show Thyself upright;
Pie tiem svētiem Tu rādies svēts un pie tiem sirdsskaidriem Tu rādies skaidrs.
26 With the pure Thou dost show Thyself pure; and with the crooked Thou dost show Thyself subtle.
Pie tiem šķīstiem Tu rādies šķīsts, un pie tiem pārvērstiem (un pretdabiskiem) Tu pārvērties (un maldini).
27 For Thou dost save the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes Thou dost humble.
Jo bēdīgus ļaudis Tu atpestī un lepnas acis Tu pazemo.
28 For Thou dost light my lamp; the LORD my God doth lighten my darkness.
Jo Tu apgaismo manu spīdekli; Tas Kungs, mans Dievs, dara gaišu manu tumsību.
29 For by Thee I run upon a troop; and by my God do I scale a wall.
Jo ar Tevi es varu sadauzīt kara spēku, un ar savu Dievu es varu lēkt pār mūriem.
30 As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in Him.
Tā stiprā Dieva ceļš ir bezvainīgs, Tā Kunga valoda ir šķīsta, Viņš ir par priekšturamām bruņām visiem, kas uz Viņu paļaujas.
31 For who is God, save the LORD? And who is a Rock, except our God?
Jo kur ir kāds Dievs kā vien Tas Kungs? Un kur ir kāds patvērums kā vien mūsu Dievs?
32 The God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way straight;
Dievs, tas mani apjož ar spēku un dara manus ceļus bezvainīgus.
33 Who maketh my feet like hinds', and setteth me upon my high places;
Viņš man kājas dara kā stirnām, un mani uzceļ manā augstā vietā.
34 Who traineth my hands for war, so that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.
Viņš manu roku māca karot, tā ka mans elkonis uzvelk vara stopus.
35 Thou hast also given me Thy shield of salvation, and Thy right hand hath holden me up; and Thy condescension hath made me great.
Un Tu man dod Savas pestīšanas priekšturamās bruņas, un Tava labā roka mani satur, un Tava laipnība mani paaugstina.
36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.
Maniem soļiem Tu esi darījis platu ceļu apakš manis, ka mani krimšļi nav slīdējuši.
37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them; neither did I turn back till they were consumed.
Es dzīšos pakaļ saviem ienaidniekiem un tos panākšu, un negriezīšos atpakaļ, kamēr tos būšu izdeldējis.
38 I have smitten them through, so that they are not able to rise; they are fallen under my feet.
Es tos sadauzīšu, ka tie nevarēs celties, tiem jākrīt apakš manām kājām.
39 For Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
Jo Tu mani apjozīsi ar spēku uz karu, Tu nospiedīsi apakš manis, kas pret mani ceļas.
40 Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, and I did cut off them that hate me.
Tu maniem ienaidniekiem liksi bēgt manā priekšā, un savus nīdētājus es iznīcināšu.
41 They cried, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but He answered them not.
Tie brēks, bet glābēja nav, uz To Kungu, bet Viņš tiem neatbild.
42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.
Es tos sagrūdīšu kā pīšļus vēja priekšā, un tos izārdīšu kā dubļus uz ielām.
43 Thou hast delivered me from the contentions of the people; Thou hast made me the head of the nations; a people whom I have not known serve me.
Tu mani izglābsi no ļaužu ķildām, Tu mani iecelsi tautām par galvu; ļaudis, ko es nepazinu, man kalpos.
44 As soon as they hear of me, they obey me; the sons of the stranger dwindle away before me.
Tie man klausīs ar paklausīgām ausīm, svešnieku bērni manā priekšā mīlīgi rādīsies.
45 The sons of the stranger fade away, and come trembling out of their close places.
Svešinieku bērni nonīks un drebēdami izies no savām pilīm.
46 The LORD liveth, and blessed be my Rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation;
Tas Kungs ir dzīvs, un slavēts lai ir mans patvērums, un augsti slavēts lai ir Dievs, mans Pestītājs.
47 Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, and subdueth peoples under me.
Tas stiprais Dievs, kas man dod atriebšanu, un tautas nomet apakš manis;
48 He delivereth me from mine enemies; yea, Thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest me from the violent man.
Kas mani izrauj no maniem ienaidniekiem; Tu mani paaugstini pār tiem, kas pret mani ceļas, Tu mani izglāb no varas darītājiem.
49 Therefore I will give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises unto Thy name.
Tāpēc, ak Kungs, es Tevi gribu slavēt starp tautām un dziedāt Tavam vārdam,
50 Great salvation giveth He to His king; and showeth mercy to His anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore.
Jo Tu glābi Savu ķēniņu ar lielu glābšanu, un parādi žēlastību Savam svaidītam, Dāvidam un viņa dzimumam mūžīgi.
