Psalmi 40
1 Dāvida dziesma. Dziedātāju vadonim. Es gaidu gaidīdams uz To Kungu, Viņš griežas pie manis un paklausa manu kliegšanu.
I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined to me, and heard my cry.
2 Jo Viņš mani izvilka no briesmīgas bedres un no dubļainām dūņām un cēla manas kājas uz akmens kalnu un stiprināja manus soļus.
He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet on a rock, and established my goings.
3 Un ir licis manā mutē jaunu dziesmu, teikšanas dziesmu mūsu Dievam; daudzi to redzēs un bīsies un cerēs uz To Kungu.
And he has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
4 Svētīgs tas vīrs, kas savu cerību liek uz To Kungu, un negriežās pie tiem lepniem un pie tiem, kas ar meliem tinās.
Blessed is that man that makes the LORD his trust, and respects not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
5 Kungs, mans Dievs, lieli ir Tavi brīnumi, ko Tu mums parādi, un Tavi padomi; nekas Tev nav līdzinājams. Es tos gribu pasludināt un izteikt, tie nav izskaitāmi.
Many, O LORD my God, are your wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order to you: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
6 Upuri un ēdami upuri Tev nepatīk, ausis Tu man esi atvēris; dedzināmos upurus un grēku upurus Tu neprasi.
Sacrifice and offering you did not desire; my ears have you opened: burnt offering and sin offering have you not required.
7 Tad es sacīju: Redzi, es nāku, grāmatā stāv par mani rakstīts.
Then said I, See, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
8 Man ir prieks, darīt Tavu prātu, mans Dievs, un Tava bauslība ir manā sirds dziļumā.
I delight to do your will, O my God: yes, your law is within my heart.
9 Es sludināšu taisnību lielā draudzē; redzi, savas lūpas es neaizdarīšu; Kungs, Tu to zini.
I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: see, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, you know.
10 Tavu taisnību es neslēpju savā sirdī, no Tavas patiesības un pestīšanas es runāju, Tavu žēlastību un uzticību es neslēpju lielā draudzē.
I have not hid your righteousness within my heart; I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation: I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great congregation.
11 Tu, ak Kungs, nenovērs Savu apžēlošanu no manis; lai Tava žēlastība un patiesība vienmēr mani pasargā!
Withhold not you your tender mercies from me, O LORD: let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.
12 Jo ap mani ir apmetušās bēdas, ko nevar skaitīt, mani noziegumi mani sagrābuši, ka nevaru redzēt; viņu ir vairāk, nekā matu uz manas galvas, un mana sirds mani atstājusi.
For innumerable evils have compassed me about: my iniquities have taken hold on me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head: therefore my heart fails me.
13 Lai tev patīk, Kungs, mani izglābt, steidzies, ak Kungs, man palīgā!
Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.
14 Lai top kaunā un kopā paliek par apsmieklu, kas manu dvēseli meklē, to samaitāt; lai top dzīti atpakaļ un paliek kaunā, kas par manu nelaimi priecājās!
Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
15 Lai savas bezkaunības dēļ tie iztrūcinājās, kas no manis saka: tā, tā.
Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say to me, Aha, aha.
16 Lai priecājās un līksmojās iekš Tevis visi, kas Tevi meklē, un lai tie, kas Tavu pestīšanu mīļo, allažiņ saka: Tas Kungs ir augsti teicams.
Let all those that seek you rejoice and be glad in you: let such as love your salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.
17 Gan es esmu bēdīgs un nabags, bet Tas Kungs par mani gādā. Tu esi mans palīgs un mans glābējs; ak, mans Dievs, nekavējies!
But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinks on me: you are my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
