Psalms 140
1 To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. Rescue me, O Yahweh, from the men of mischief, From the men of violence, wilt thou preserve me:
Dāvida dziesma, dziedātāju vadonim. Izglāb mani, Kungs, no ļauniem cilvēkiem, izrauj mani no varas darītājiem,
2 Who have devised mischiefs in their [heart], Every day, do they stir up wars:
Kas ļaunu domā savā sirdī, kas ikdienas saceļ karu.
3 They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent, —The poison of the asp, is under their lips. (Selah)
Tie trin savu mēli kā čūska, odžu dzelonis ir apakš viņu lūpām. (Sela)
4 Keep me, O Yahweh, from the hands of the lawless one, From the man of violence, wilt thou preserve me, —who have devised, to thrust at 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, have they spread as a net beside the track, Snares, have they set 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 Yahweh, My GOD, thou art! Give ear, O Yahweh, unto the voice of my supplications.
Es saku uz To Kungu: Tu esi mans Dievs, klausies, ak Kungs, uz manas sirds lūgšanas balsi.
7 O Yahweh, My Lord, my saving strength, thou hast screened my head in the day of battle.
Kungs, Dievs, mans stiprais Pestītājs, Tu apsedz manu galvu kaušanas laikā.
8 Do not grant, O Yahweh, the desires of the lawless one, his device, do not promote, 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 them who surround me, Let the mischief of their lips cover them:
Tiem, kas ap mani metās, lai nāk uz viņu galvu tā nelaime, par ko tie runā.
10 May there be dropped on them live coals, —Into the fire, may they be let fall, into watery pits [from which] they shall not rise.
Degošas ogles lai krīt uz tiem. Viņš tos gāzīs ugunī, dziļās bedrēs, ka tie vairs necelsies.
11 As for the slanderer, let him not be established in the earth, —As for the man of wrongful violence, let misfortune hunt him with thrust upon thrust.
Lielmutis nepastāvēs virs zemes, nelaime varmāku vajās un trieks.
12 I know that Yahweh will execute, the right of the oppressed one, the vindication of the needy.
Es zinu, ka Tas Kungs iztiesās nabaga lietas un bēdīgā tiesu.
13 Surely, the righteous, shall give thanks to thy Name, the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
Tiešām, taisnie Tavam vārdam pateiksies, sirdsskaidrie pastāvēs Tavā priekšā.
