Psalmi 140
1 Dāvida dziesma, dziedātāju vadonim. Izglāb mani, Kungs, no ļauniem cilvēkiem, izrauj mani no varas darītājiem,
To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O Jehovah, from an evil man, From one of violence Thou keepest me.
2 Kas ļaunu domā savā sirdī, kas ikdienas saceļ karu.
Who have devised evils in the heart, All the day they assemble [for] wars.
3 Tie trin savu mēli kā čūska, odžu dzelonis ir apakš viņu lūpām. (Sela)
They sharpened their tongue as a serpent, Poison of an adder [is] under their lips. (Selah)
4 Pasargi mani, Kungs, no bezdievīgo rokām, izglāb mani no varas darītājiem, kas domā nostumt manas kājas.
Preserve me, Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked, From one of violence Thou keepest me, Who have devised to overthrow my steps.
5 Tie lepnie man liek valgus un virves, tie man izpleš tīklu ceļmalā un liek man slazdus. (Sela)
The proud hid a snare for me — and cords, They spread a net by the side of the path, Snares they have set for me. (Selah)
6 Es saku uz To Kungu: Tu esi mans Dievs, klausies, ak Kungs, uz manas sirds lūgšanas balsi.
I have said to Jehovah, 'My God [art] Thou, Hear, Jehovah, the voice of my supplications.'
7 Kungs, Dievs, mans stiprais Pestītājs, Tu apsedz manu galvu kaušanas laikā.
O Jehovah, my Lord, strength of my salvation, Thou hast covered my head in the day of armour.
8 Nedod, ak Kungs, tam bezdievīgam, ko viņš kāro, un lai viņa padoms neizdodas, jo tie greznojās. (Sela)
Grant not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked, His wicked device bring not forth, They are high. (Selah)
9 Tiem, kas ap mani metās, lai nāk uz viņu galvu tā nelaime, par ko tie runā.
The chief of my surrounders, The perverseness of their lips covereth them.
10 Degošas ogles lai krīt uz tiem. Viņš tos gāzīs ugunī, dziļās bedrēs, ka tie vairs necelsies.
They cause to fall on themselves burning coals, Into fire He doth cast them, Into deep pits — they arise not.
11 Lielmutis nepastāvēs virs zemes, nelaime varmāku vajās un trieks.
A talkative man is not established in the earth, One of violence — evil hunteth to overflowing.
12 Es zinu, ka Tas Kungs iztiesās nabaga lietas un bēdīgā tiesu.
I have known that Jehovah doth execute The judgment of the afflicted, The judgment of the needy.
13 Tiešām, taisnie Tavam vārdam pateiksies, sirdsskaidrie pastāvēs Tavā priekšā.
Only — the righteous give thanks to Thy name, The upright do dwell with Thy presence!
