< Psalmi 141 >
1 Dāvida dziesma. Kungs, Tevi es piesaucu, steidzies pie manis, klausies uz manu balsi, kad es Tevi piesaucu.
Lord, I cry to you: make haste to me; give ear to my voice, when I cry to you.
2 Lai mana lūgšana Tavā priekšā top cienīta kā kvēpināmais upuris, manu roku pacelšana kā vakara upuris.
Let my prayer be set forth before you as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
3 Kungs, sargi manu muti un pasargi manas lūpas.
Set a watch, O LORD, 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 wicked works with men that 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 the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
6 No akmens kalniem viņu soģi lai top nogāzti; tad dzirdēs manus vārdus, ka tie mīlīgi.
When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
7 Kā zemi uzplēš un uzar, tā mūsu kauli ir izkaisīti līdz pašam kapam. (Sheol )
Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth, as when one cuts and splits wood on the earth. (Sheol )
8 Bet uz Tevi, Kungs, Dievs, manas acis raugās, uz Tevi paļaujos, neatstum manu dvēseli.
But my eyes are to you, O GOD the Lord: in you is my trust; 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 snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
10 Bezdievīgie kritīs savos tīklos, kamēr es iešu garām.
Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I with escape.
