Psalmi 141
1 Dāvida dziesma. Kungs, Tevi es piesaucu, steidzies pie manis, klausies uz manu balsi, kad es Tevi piesaucu.
“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” I cry to thee, O LORD! make haste unto me! Give ear to my voice, when I cry unto thee!
2 Lai mana lūgšana Tavā priekšā top cienīta kā kvēpināmais upuris, manu roku pacelšana kā vakara upuris.
Let my prayer come before thee 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; Guard the door of my lips!
4 Nedod manai sirdij griezties uz ļaunu, bezdievīgu darbu darīt ar ļaundarītājiem, ka nebaudu no viņu kārumiem.
Let not my heart incline to any evil thing; Let me not practise wickedness with the doers of iniquity, And let me not eat of their delicacies!
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; Let him reprove me, and it shall be oil for my head; Let him do it again, and my head shall not refuse it; But now I pray against their wickedness!
6 No akmens kalniem viņu soģi lai top nogāzti; tad dzirdēs manus vārdus, ka tie mīlīgi.
When their judges are hurled over the side of the rock, They shall hear how pleasant are my words.
So are our bones scattered at the mouth of the underworld, As when one furroweth and ploweth up the land. (Sheol h7585)
8 Bet uz Tevi, Kungs, Dievs, manas acis raugās, uz Tevi paļaujos, neatstum manu dvēseli.
But to thee do my eyes look, O Lord Jehovah! In thee is my trust; Let not my life be poured out!
9 Pasargi mani no tā valga, ko tie man ir izmetuši, un no ļauna darītāju slazdiem.
Preserve me from the snares which they have laid for me, And from the nets of evil-doers!
10 Bezdievīgie kritīs savos tīklos, kamēr es iešu garām.
Let the wicked fall together into their own traps, Whilst I make my escape!
