For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Deliver me, LORD, from evil men. Preserve me from violent men:
2 Kas ļaunu domā savā sirdī, kas ikdienas saceļ karu.
those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war.
3 Tie trin savu mēli kā čūska, odžu dzelonis ir apakš viņu lūpām. (Sela)
They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper’s poison is under their lips. (Selah)
4 Pasargi mani, Kungs, no bezdievīgo rokām, izglāb mani no varas darītājiem, kas domā nostumt manas kājas.
LORD, keep me from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my feet.
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, they have spread the cords of a net by the path. 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 said to the LORD, “You are my God.” Listen to the cry of my petitions, LORD.
7 Kungs, Dievs, mans stiprais Pestītājs, Tu apsedz manu galvu kaušanas laikā.
LORD, the Lord, the strength of my salvation, you have 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)
LORD, don’t grant the desires of the wicked. Don’t let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud. (Selah)
9 Tiem, kas ap mani metās, lai nāk uz viņu galvu tā nelaime, par ko tie runā.
As for the head of those who surround 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 thrown into the fire, into miry pits, from where they never rise.
11 Lielmutis nepastāvēs virs zemes, nelaime varmāku vajās un trieks.
An evil speaker won’t be established in the earth. Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
12 Es zinu, ka Tas Kungs iztiesās nabaga lietas un bēdīgā tiesu.
I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for the needy.
13 Tiešām, taisnie Tavam vārdam pateiksies, sirdsskaidrie pastāvēs Tavā priekšā.
Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name. The upright will dwell in your presence.
