Psalmi 56

1 Dāvida sirds dziesma dziedātāju vadonim, pēc: „mēmais balodis svešumā“; kad Fīlisti Gatā viņu bija saņēmuši. Apžēlojies par mani, ak Dievs, jo cilvēki mani grib aprīt; cauru dienu pretinieks mani apbēdina.

“For the leader of the music. To be sung to the tune of “The dumb dove among strangers.” A psalm of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath.” Have pity upon me, O God! for man panteth for my life; My adversary daily oppresseth me!

2 Mani ienaidnieki cauru dienu mani grib aprīt, jo daudz ir, kas man pretī stāv lepnībā.

Mine enemies daily pant for my life, And many are they who war proudly against me.

3 Baiļu dienā es uz Tevi paļaujos.

When I am in fear, I will put my trust in thee!

4 Iekš Dieva es slavēšu Viņa vārdu, es paļaušos uz Dievu un nebīšos; ko miesa man darīs?

Through God shall I praise his word; In God do I put my trust; I will not fear; What can flesh do to me?

5 Cauru dienu tie pārgroza manus vārdus, visas viņu domas pret mani ir uz ļaunu.

Every day they wrest my words; All their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 Tie turas kopā un glūn, tie apsargā manas pēdas, tā kā kas pēc manas dvēseles tīko.

They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they watch my steps, Lying in wait for my life.

7 Vai tad tie ar tādu netaisnību izglābsies? Gāz zemē, ak Dievs, tos ļaudis iekš dusmības!

Shall they escape by their iniquity? In thine anger cast down the people, O God!

8 Tu skaiti manas bēgšanas, saņem traukā manas asaras; vai tās nav Tavā grāmatā?

Count thou my wanderings; Put my tears into thy bottle! Are they not recorded in thy book?

9 Tad mani ienaidnieki griezīsies atpakaļ tai dienā, kad es saukšu; to es zinu, ka Dievs ir ar mani.

When I cry to thee, my enemies shall turn back; This I know, that God is for me.

10 Iekš Dieva es slavēšu to vārdu, iekš Tā Kunga es slavēšu to vārdu.

Through God shall I praise his word; I shall glory in the promise of Jehovah.

11 Es paļaujos uz Dievu, es nebīšos; ko cilvēki man var darīt?

In God do I put my trust; I will not fear: What can man do to me?

12 Tev, Dievs, es esmu apsolījies, Tev es maksāšu pateicības upurus.

Thy vows are upon me, O God! I will render praises to thee!

13 Jo Tu manu dvēseli esi izglābis no nāves, ir manu dvēseli no slīdēšanas, ka es priekš Dieva vaiga staigāju dzīvības gaismā.

For thou hast delivered me from death, Yea, my feet from falling, That I may walk before God in the light of the living.
