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 Chief Musician. To the tune of “Silent Dove in Distant Lands.” A poem by David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath. Be merciful to me, God, for man wants to swallow me up. All day long, he attacks and oppresses me.

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

My enemies want to swallow me up all day long, for they are many who fight proudly against me.

3 Baiļu dienā es uz Tevi paļaujos.

When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.

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

In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?

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

All day long they twist 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 conspire and lurk, watching my steps. They are eager to take my life.

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

Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, God.

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

You count my wanderings. You put my tears into your container. Aren’t they in your book?

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

Then my enemies shall turn back in the day that I call. I know this: that God is for me.

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

In God, I will praise his word. In the LORD, I will praise his word.

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

I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

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

Your vows are on me, God. I will give thank offerings to you.

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

For you have delivered my soul from death, and prevented my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
