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 Chief Musician. For Jeduthun. A Psalm by David.] I said, "I will watch my ways, so that I do not sin with my tongue. I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked is before me."
2 Es esmu palicis kā mēms un klusu cietis, un nepieminu vairs labuma, bet manas sāpes vairojās.
I was mute with silence. I held my peace, even from good. My sorrow was stirred.
3 Mana sirds ir iekarsusi iekš manis; kad es uz to domāju, tad es iedegos kā uguns; es runāju ar savu mēli:
My heart was hot within me. While I meditated, the fire burned: I spoke with my tongue:
4 Kungs, māci man manu galu un kāds ir manu dienu mērs, lai es zinu, cik nīcīgs es esmu.
"LORD, show me my end, what is the measure of my days. Let me know how frail I am.
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)
Look, you have made my days handbreadths. My lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely every man stands as a breath." (Selah)
6 Cilvēks staigā kā ēna un nieka dēļ raizējās; viņš krāj, bet nezin, kas to dabūs.
"Surely a person goes about like a shadow. Surely he heaps up vain things of wealth, and doesn't know who shall gather them.
7 Nu tad, uz ko man būs gaidīt, Kungs? Es cerēju uz Tevi.
And now, LORD, what do I wait for? My hope is in you.
8 Izglāb mani no visām manām pārkāpšanām, un neliec man ģeķiem palikt par apsmieklu.
Deliver me from all my transgressions. Do not make me the taunt of fools.
9 Es esmu klusu un neatdaru savu muti; jo Tu to esi darījis.
I was mute. I did not open my mouth, because you did it.
10 Atņem Savu mocību no manis, jo es nīkstu no Tavas rokas grūtuma.
Remove your scourge away from me. I am overcome by the blow of your hand.
11 Kad Tu cilvēku pārmāci par noziegumiem, tad Tu iznīcini viņa skaistumu kā kodes; tiešām: visi cilvēki ir niecība.(Sela.)
When you rebuke and correct man for iniquity, You consume his wealth like a moth. Surely every man is but a breath." (Selah)
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.
"Hear my prayer, LORD, and give ear to my cry. Do not be silent at my tears. For I am a stranger with you, a foreigner, as all my fathers were.
13 Atstājies no manis, ka es atspirgstos, pirms noeju un vairs neesmu.
Oh spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go away, and exist no more."
