< Psalmi 141 >
1 Dāvida dziesma. Kungs, Tevi es piesaucu, steidzies pie manis, klausies uz manu balsi, kad es Tevi piesaucu.
Jehovah, I have called upon thee. Make haste to me. Give ear to my voice when I call to thee.
2 Lai mana lūgšana Tavā priekšā top cienīta kā kvēpināmais upuris, manu roku pacelšana kā vakara upuris.
Let my prayer be set forth as incense before thee, the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
3 Kungs, sargi manu muti un pasargi manas lūpas.
Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.
4 Nedod manai sirdij griezties uz ļaunu, bezdievīgu darbu darīt ar ļaundarītājiem, ka nebaudu no viņu kārumiem.
Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. And let me not eat of their dainties.
5 Lai taisnais mani sit, tā būs žēlastība, un lai viņš mani pārmāca, tā būs eļļa uz manu galvu, tam lai mana galva neliedzās; bet es vienmēr lūdzu pret viņu ļauniem darbiem.
Let a righteous man smite me, as a kindness. And let him reprove me, as oil upon the head. Let not my head refuse it. For even in their wickedness my prayer shall continue.
6 No akmens kalniem viņu soģi lai top nogāzti; tad dzirdēs manus vārdus, ka tie mīlīgi.
Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. And they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.
7 Kā zemi uzplēš un uzar, tā mūsu kauli ir izkaisīti līdz pašam kapam. (Sheol )
Like plowing and furrowing the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol. (Sheol )
8 Bet uz Tevi, Kungs, Dievs, manas acis raugās, uz Tevi paļaujos, neatstum manu dvēseli.
For my eyes are to thee, O Jehovah the Lord. In thee do I take refuge. Leave not my soul destitute.
9 Pasargi mani no tā valga, ko tie man ir izmetuši, un no ļauna darītāju slazdiem.
Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, and from the traps of the workers of iniquity.
10 Bezdievīgie kritīs savos tīklos, kamēr es iešu garām.
Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass over.
