Psalmi 140
1 Dāvida dziesma, dziedātāju vadonim. Izglāb mani, Kungs, no ļauniem cilvēkiem, izrauj mani no varas darītājiem,
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Free me, O Jehovah, from the evil man; preserve me from the violent man:
2 Kas ļaunu domā savā sirdī, kas ikdienas saceļ karu.
Who devise mischiefs in [their] heart; every day are they banded together for war.
3 Tie trin savu mēli kā čūska, odžu dzelonis ir apakš viņu lūpām. (Sela)
They sharpen their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. (Selah)
4 Pasargi mani, Kungs, no bezdievīgo rokām, izglāb mani no varas darītājiem, kas domā nostumt manas kājas.
Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked [man], preserve me from the violent man, who devise to overthrow my steps.
5 Tie lepnie man liek valgus un virves, tie man izpleš tīklu ceļmalā un liek man slazdus. (Sela)
The proud have hidden a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the way-side; they have set traps for me. (Selah)
6 Es saku uz To Kungu: Tu esi mans Dievs, klausies, ak Kungs, uz manas sirds lūgšanas balsi.
I have said unto Jehovah, Thou art my God: give ear, O Jehovah, to the voice of my supplications.
7 Kungs, Dievs, mans stiprais Pestītājs, Tu apsedz manu galvu kaušanas laikā.
Jehovah, the Lord, is the strength of my salvation: thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
8 Nedod, ak Kungs, tam bezdievīgam, ko viņš kāro, un lai viņa padoms neizdodas, jo tie greznojās. (Sela)
Grant not, O Jehovah, the desire of the wicked; further not his device: they would exalt themselves. (Selah)
9 Tiem, kas ap mani metās, lai nāk uz viņu galvu tā nelaime, par ko tie runā.
[As for] the head of those that encompass me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
10 Degošas ogles lai krīt uz tiem. Viņš tos gāzīs ugunī, dziļās bedrēs, ka tie vairs necelsies.
Let burning coals fall on them; let them be cast into the fire; into deep waters, that they rise not up again.
11 Lielmutis nepastāvēs virs zemes, nelaime varmāku vajās un trieks.
Let not the man of [evil] tongue be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the man of violence to [his] ruin.
12 Es zinu, ka Tas Kungs iztiesās nabaga lietas un bēdīgā tiesu.
I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted one, the right of the needy.
13 Tiešām, taisnie Tavam vārdam pateiksies, sirdsskaidrie pastāvēs Tavā priekšā.
Yea, the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name; the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
