Psalmi 143
1 Dāvida dziesma. Ak Kungs, klausi manu lūgšanu, ņem vērā manas sirds lūgšanas Savas patiesības dēļ, paklausi mani Savas taisnības dēļ!
A Psalm of David, when his son pursued him. O Lord, attend to my prayer: hearken to my supplication in thy truth; hear me in thy righteousness.
2 Un neej sodā ar Savu kalpu, jo Tavā priekšā neviens, kas dzīvo, nav taisns.
And enter not into judgment with thy servant, for in thy sight shall no [man] living be justified.
3 Jo ienaidnieks vajā manu dvēseli, viņš samin manu dzīvību pie zemes, viņš mani liek tumsībā, kā tos, kas jau sen miruši.
For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has brought my life down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in a dark [place], as those that have been long dead.
4 Un mans gars iekš manis iztvīcis, mana sirds iekš manis nonīkusi.
Therefore my spirit was grieved in me; my heart was troubled within me.
5 Es pieminu senos laikus, es pārdomāju visus Tavus darbus, es runāju pie sevis par to, ko Tava roka darījusi.
I remembered the days of old; and I meditated on all thy doings: [yea], I meditated on the works of thine hands.
6 Es izplešu savas rokas uz Tevi, mana dvēsele ir Tavā priekšā kā izkaltusi zeme. (Sela)
I spread forth my hands to thee; my soul [thirsts] for thee, as a dry land. (Pause)
7 Steidzies mani paklausīt, Kungs, - mans gars nonīcis; neapslēp Savu vaigu priekš manis, lai netopu kā tie, kas grimst bedrē.
Hear me speedily, O Lord; my spirit has failed; turn not away thy face from me, else I shall be like to them that go down to the pit.
8 Liec man agri dzirdēt Tavu žēlastību, jo es paļaujos uz Tevi; dari man zināmu to ceļu, pa ko man jāiet; jo uz Tevi nesās mana dvēsele.
Cause me to hear thy mercy in the morning; for I have hoped in thee; make known to me, O Lord, the way wherein I should walk; for I have lifted up my soul to thee.
9 Izglāb mani, Kungs, no maniem ienaidniekiem, Tev es pavēlos(iekš Tevis es patveros).
Deliver me from mine enemies, O Lord; for I have fled to thee for refuge.
10 Māci man darīt pēc Tava prāta, jo Tu esi mans Dievs, Tavs labais Gars lai mani vada pa taisnu ceļu.
Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God; thy good Spirit shall guide me in the straight [way].
11 Tava vārda dēļ ak Kungs, atspirdzini mani, izved manu dvēseli no bēdām Savas taisnības dēļ.
Thou shalt quicken me, O Lord, for thy name's sake; in thy righteousness thou shalt bring my soul out of affliction.
12 Un izposti manus ienaidniekus Savas žēlastības dēļ, un iznīcini visus, kas manu dvēseli apbēdina, jo es esmu Tavs kalps.
And in thy mercy thou wilt destroy mine enemies, and wilt destroy all those that afflict my soul; for I am thy servant.
