Psalms 57
1 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A poem by David, when he fled from Saul, in the cave. Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.
Dāvida sirds dziesma. Dziedātāju vadonim, pēc: „nesamaitā“; kad tas no Saula bēga alā. Apžēlojies par mani, ak Dievs, apžēlojies par mani, jo uz Tevi cerē mana dvēsele, un apakš Tavu spārnu ēnas es gribu cerēt, kamēr nelaime būs pārgājusi.
2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who accomplishes my requests for me.
Es piesaukšu Dievu, to visuaugsto, to stipro Dievu, kas par mani visu izdarīs.
3 He will send from heaven, and save me, he rebukes the one who is pursuing me. (Selah) God will send out his loving kindness and his truth.
Viņš sūta no debesīm un palīdz man, un apkauno manu aprijēju. (Sela) Dievs sūta Savu žēlastību un patiesību.
4 My soul is amongst lions. I lie amongst those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
Mana dvēsele ir starp lauvām; es guļu starp cilvēku bērniem kā starp liesmām; viņu zobi ir šķēpi un bultas, un viņu mēle ass zobens.
5 Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be above all the earth!
Parādi, Dievs, Savu augstību pār debesīm, un Savu godību pār visu pasauli!
6 They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into the middle of it themselves. (Selah)
Tie izpleš tīklu maniem soļiem, mana dvēsele ir nospiesta; manā priekšā tie bedri rakuši, paši krituši iekšā. (Sela)
7 My heart is steadfast, God. My heart is steadfast. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.
Mana sirds ir droša, Dievs, mana sirds ir droša, es dziedāšu un slavēšu.
8 Wake up, my glory! Wake up, lute and harp! I will wake up the dawn.
Uzmosties, mans gods, uzmostaties, stabules un kokles, es uzmodīšos ar rīta blāzmu.
9 I will give thanks to you, Lord, amongst the peoples. I will sing praises to you amongst the nations.
Es Tev pateikšos, Kungs, starp tiem ļaudīm, es Tevi slavēšu starp tautām.
10 For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens, and your truth to the skies.
Jo Tava žēlastība ir liela līdz debesīm, un Tava patiesība līdz padebešiem.
11 Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.
Parādi, Dievs, Savu augstību pār debesīm, Savu godību pār visu pasauli.
