Psalmi 17
1 Dāvida lūgšana. Kungs, ņem vērā taisnību, klausies uz manu brēkšanu, griez savas ausis uz manu lūgšanu, kas nenāk no viltīgām lūpām.
Hear the right, O Jehovah, attend to my cry. Give ear to my prayer, that goes not out of feigned lips.
2 No tava vaiga lai nāk mana tiesa; tavas acis skatās uz to, kas ir taisnība.
Let my justice come forth from thy presence. Let thine eyes look upon equity.
3 Tu pārbaudi manu sirdi, Tu piemeklē to naktīs, Tu mani esi kausējis un nekā neatradis; es esmu apņēmies, ka manai mutei nebūs pārkāpt.
Thou have proved my heart. Thou have visited me in the night. Thou have tried me, and find nothing. I have purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
4 Pie cilvēku darbiem es sargos caur Tavas mutes vārdu no pārkāpēja pēdām.
As for the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept from the ways of a violent man.
5 Uzturi manu gājienu uz Taviem ceļiem, ka mani soļi nešaubās.
My steps have held fast to thy paths. My feet have not slipped.
6 Es Tevi piesaucu, jo Tu mani paklausi, ak Dievs! Griez' Savu ausi pie manis, klausi manu valodu.
I have called upon thee, for thou will answer me, O God. Incline thine ear to me, and hear my speech.
7 Parādi brīnišķi Savu žēlastību, Tu, kas glābi no pretiniekiem tos, kas tvērās pie Tavas labās rokas.
Show thy marvelous loving kindness, O thou who saves by thy right hand those who take refuge from those who rise up.
8 Pasargi mani kā acs raugu acī, apslēp mani savu spārnu pavēnī
Keep me as the apple of the eye. Hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
9 No bezdievīgo vaiga, kas mani posta, no maniem nikniem ienaidniekiem, kas ap mani apmetās.
from the wicked who oppress me, my deadly enemies, who encompass me around.
10 Savu cieto sirdi tie aizslēguši, ar savu muti tie runā lepni.
They are enclosed in their own fat. With their mouth they speak proudly.
11 Tie nu ir visapkārt ap mums mūsu ceļos, ar savām acīm tie glūn, mūs gāzt pie zemes.
They have now encompassed us in our steps. They set their eyes to cast down to the earth.
12 Viņa ģīmis ir kā lauva, kas tīko saplosīt, un kā jauns lauva, kas sēž paslēpies.
He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13 Celies, Kungs, steidzies viņam pretī, nogāz viņu, izglāb ar Savu zobenu manu dvēseli no bezdievīgā,
Arise, O Jehovah, confront him. Cast him down. Deliver my soul from the wicked by thy sword,
14 No tiem ļaudīm ar Savu roku, ak Kungs! no šās pasaules ļaudīm, kam sava tiesa ir šai dzīvībā, kam vēderu Tu pildi ar Savu mantu, kam dēlu papilnam, un kas savu mantu atstāj saviem bērniem.
from men by thy hand, O Jehovah, from men of the world whose portion is in this life, and whose belly thou fill with thy treasure. They are satisfied with sons, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
15 Bet es skatīšu Tavu vaigu iekš taisnības, uzmodies mielošos no Tava ģīmja.
As for me, I shall behold thy face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy form.
