< Psalmi 141 >
1 Dāvida dziesma. Kungs, Tevi es piesaucu, steidzies pie manis, klausies uz manu balsi, kad es Tevi piesaucu.
A Psalm. Of David. Lord, I have made my cry to you; come to me quickly; give ear to my voice, when it goes up to you.
2 Lai mana lūgšana Tavā priekšā top cienīta kā kvēpināmais upuris, manu roku pacelšana kā vakara upuris.
Let my prayer be ordered before you like a sweet smell; and let the lifting up of my hands be like the evening offering.
3 Kungs, sargi manu muti un pasargi manas lūpas.
O Lord, keep a watch over 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.
Keep my heart from desiring any evil thing, or from taking part in the sins of the evil-doers with men who do wrong: and let me have no part in their good things.
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 the upright give me punishment; and let the god-fearing man put me in the right way; but I will not let the oil of sinners come on my head: when they do evil I will give myself to prayer.
6 No akmens kalniem viņu soģi lai top nogāzti; tad dzirdēs manus vārdus, ka tie mīlīgi.
When destruction comes to their judges by the side of the rock, they will give ear to my words, for they are sweet.
7 Kā zemi uzplēš un uzar, tā mūsu kauli ir izkaisīti līdz pašam kapam. (Sheol )
Our bones are broken up at the mouth of the underworld, as the earth is broken by the plough. (Sheol )
8 Bet uz Tevi, Kungs, Dievs, manas acis raugās, uz Tevi paļaujos, neatstum manu dvēseli.
But my eyes are turned to you, O Lord God: my hope is in you; let not my soul be given up to death.
9 Pasargi mani no tā valga, ko tie man ir izmetuši, un no ļauna darītāju slazdiem.
Keep me from the net which they have put down for me, and from the designs of the workers of evil.
10 Bezdievīgie kritīs savos tīklos, kamēr es iešu garām.
Let the sinners be taken in the nets which they themselves have put down, while I go free.
