Psalmi 39
1 Dāvida dziesma, dziedātāju vadonim, Jedutunam. Es esmu apņēmies, ka savu ceļu sargāšu, ka negrēkošu ar savu mēli; es sargāšu savu muti kā ar iemauktiem, kamēr bezdievīgais manā priekšā.
For the end, a Song of David, to Idithun. I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I set a guard on my mouth, while the sinner stood in my presence.
2 Es esmu palicis kā mēms un klusu cietis, un nepieminu vairs labuma, bet manas sāpes vairojās.
I was dumb, and humbled myself, and kept silence from good [words]; and my grief was renewed.
3 Mana sirds ir iekarsusi iekš manis; kad es uz to domāju, tad es iedegos kā uguns; es runāju ar savu mēli:
My heart grew hot within me, and a fire would kindle in my (meditation) I spoke with my tongue,
4 Kungs, māci man manu galu un kāds ir manu dienu mērs, lai es zinu, cik nīcīgs es esmu.
O Lord, make me to know mine end, and the number of my days, what it is; that I may know what I lack.
5 Redzi, Tu manas dienas esi licis plaukstas platumā, un mans mūžs ir kā nekas Tavā priekšā; tiešām niecība vien ir ikviens cilvēks savā stiprumā. (Sela)
Behold, you have made my days old; and my existence [is] as nothing before you: nay, every man living [is] altogether vanity. (Pause)
6 Cilvēks staigā kā ēna un nieka dēļ raizējās; viņš krāj, bet nezin, kas to dabūs.
Surely man walks in a shadow; nay, he is disquieted in vain: he lays up treasures, and knows not for whom he shall gather them.
7 Nu tad, uz ko man būs gaidīt, Kungs? Es cerēju uz Tevi.
And now what [is] my expectation? [is it] not the Lord? and my ground [of hope] is with you. (Pause)
8 Izglāb mani no visām manām pārkāpšanām, un neliec man ģeķiem palikt par apsmieklu.
Deliver me from all my transgressions: you have made me a reproach to the foolish.
9 Es esmu klusu un neatdaru savu muti; jo Tu to esi darījis.
I was dumb, and opened not my mouth; for you are he that made me.
10 Atņem Savu mocību no manis, jo es nīkstu no Tavas rokas grūtuma.
Remove your scourges from me: I have fainted by reason of the strength of your hand.
11 Kad Tu cilvēku pārmāci par noziegumiem, tad Tu iznīcini viņa skaistumu kā kodes; tiešām: visi cilvēki ir niecība.(Sela.)
You chasten man with rebukes for iniquity, and you make his life to consume away like a spider's web; nay, every man is disquieted in vain. (Pause)
12 Klausi, Kungs, manu lūgšanu, ņem vērā manu saukšanu, un neciet klusu pie manām asarām, jo es esmu svešinieks un piedzīvotājs Tavā priekšā, tā kā visi mani tēvi.
O Lord, listen to my prayer and my supplication: attend to my tears: be not silent, for I am a sojourner in the land, and a stranger, as all my fathers [were].
13 Atstājies no manis, ka es atspirgstos, pirms noeju un vairs neesmu.
Spare me, that I may be refreshed, before I depart, and be no more.
