Psalms 140
1 For the end, a Psalm of David. Rescue me, O Lord, from the evil man; deliver me from the unjust man.
Dāvida dziesma, dziedātāju vadonim. Izglāb mani, Kungs, no ļauniem cilvēkiem, izrauj mani no varas darītājiem,
2 Who have devised injustice in their hearts; all the day they prepared war.
Kas ļaunu domā savā sirdī, kas ikdienas saceļ karu.
3 They have sharpened their tongue as [the tongue] of a serpent; the poison of asps is under their lips. (Pause)
Tie trin savu mēli kā čūska, odžu dzelonis ir apakš viņu lūpām. (Sela)
4 Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the sinner; rescue me from unjust men; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
Pasargi mani, Kungs, no bezdievīgo rokām, izglāb mani no varas darītājiem, kas domā nostumt manas kājas.
5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and have stretched out ropes [for] snares for my feet; they set a stumbling block for me near the path. (Pause)
Tie lepnie man liek valgus un virves, tie man izpleš tīklu ceļmalā un liek man slazdus. (Sela)
6 I said to the Lord, You are my God; listen, O Lord, to the voice of my supplication.
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 salvation; you have screened my head in the day of battle.
Kungs, Dievs, mans stiprais Pestītājs, Tu apsedz manu galvu kaušanas laikā.
8 Deliver me not, O Lord, to the sinner, according to my desire: they have devised [mischief] against me; forsake me not, lest they should be exalted. (Pause)
Nedod, ak Kungs, tam bezdievīgam, ko viņš kāro, un lai viņa padoms neizdodas, jo tie greznojās. (Sela)
9 [As for] the head of them that compass me, the mischief of their lips shall cover them.
Tiem, kas ap mani metās, lai nāk uz viņu galvu tā nelaime, par ko tie runā.
10 Coals of fire shall fall upon them on the earth; and you shall cast them down in afflictions: they shall not bear up [under them].
Degošas ogles lai krīt uz tiem. Viņš tos gāzīs ugunī, dziļās bedrēs, ka tie vairs necelsies.
11 A talkative man shall not prosper on the earth: evils shall hunt the unrighteous man to destruction.
Lielmutis nepastāvēs virs zemes, nelaime varmāku vajās un trieks.
12 I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the poor, and the right of the needy ones.
Es zinu, ka Tas Kungs iztiesās nabaga lietas un bēdīgā tiesu.
13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks to your name: the upright shall dwell in your presence.
Tiešām, taisnie Tavam vārdam pateiksies, sirdsskaidrie pastāvēs Tavā priekšā.
