Psalmi 143
1 Dāvida dziesma. Ak Kungs, klausi manu lūgšanu, ņem vērā manas sirds lūgšanas Savas patiesības dēļ, paklausi mani Savas taisnības dēļ!
Yahweh, hear me while I pray to you! Because you are righteous and because you faithfully do what you have promised, listen to what I am pleading that you [do for me].
2 Un neej sodā ar Savu kalpu, jo Tavā priekšā neviens, kas dzīvo, nav taisns.
I am one who serves you; do not judge me, because you know that everyone has done things that are wrong).
3 Jo ienaidnieks vajā manu dvēseli, viņš samin manu dzīvību pie zemes, viņš mani liek tumsībā, kā tos, kas jau sen miruši.
[My] enemies have pursued me; they have completely defeated me. [It is as though] they have put me in a dark [prison], where I [have nothing good to] ([hope for/expect]), like those who died long ago [SIM].
4 Un mans gars iekš manis iztvīcis, mana sirds iekš manis nonīkusi.
So I am very discouraged; I am very dismayed/worried.
5 Es pieminu senos laikus, es pārdomāju visus Tavus darbus, es runāju pie sevis par to, ko Tava roka darījusi.
I remember what has happened previously: I (meditate on/think about) all the things that you have done; I consider [all] the [great] deeds that you [SYN] have performed.
6 Es izplešu savas rokas uz Tevi, mana dvēsele ir Tavā priekšā kā izkaltusi zeme. (Sela)
I lift up my hands/arms to you while I pray; I [SYN] need you, like very dry ground [needs rain] [SIM].
7 Steidzies mani paklausīt, Kungs, - mans gars nonīcis; neapslēp Savu vaigu priekš manis, lai netopu kā tie, kas grimst bedrē.
Yahweh, I am very discouraged, [so] please answer me right now! Do not hide from me, because if you do that, I will [soon] be [SIM] among those who descend to where the dead people are.
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.
[Every] morning cause me to remember that you faithfully love [me], because I trust in you. I (pray/send my prayers up [IDM]) to you; show me what I should do.
9 Izglāb mani, Kungs, no maniem ienaidniekiem, Tev es pavēlos(iekš Tevis es patveros).
Yahweh, I have gone/run to you to be protected, [so] rescue me from my enemies.
10 Māci man darīt pēc Tava prāta, jo Tu esi mans Dievs, Tavs labais Gars lai mani vada pa taisnu ceļu.
You are my God; teach me to do what you want me to do. I want your good Spirit to lead me on a path that is not difficult to walk on.
11 Tava vārda dēļ ak Kungs, atspirdzini mani, izved manu dvēseli no bēdām Savas taisnības dēļ.
Yahweh, restore me when I am close to dying, as you promised to do. Because you are righteous/good, rescue me from my troubles/difficulties!
12 Un izposti manus ienaidniekus Savas žēlastības dēļ, un iznīcini visus, kas manu dvēseli apbēdina, jo es esmu Tavs kalps.
I am one who serves you; so because you faithfully love [me], kill my enemies and get rid of all those who (oppress/cause trouble for) me.
