Psalmi 71
1 Uz tevi, Kungs, es paļaujos, ne mūžam neliec man palikt kaunā.
Yahweh, I have come to you to (get refuge/be protected); never allow me to become ashamed [because of being defeated].
2 Izglāb mani caur Savu taisnību un atsvabini mani, atgriez Savu ausi pie manis un atpestī mani.
Because you always do what is right, help me and rescue me; listen to me, and save me!
3 Esi man par patvērumu, kur es varu dzīvot, kur vienmēr varu bēgt. Tu esi solījis, mani atpestīt, jo Tu esi mans kalns un mana stiprā pils.
Be [like an overhanging] rock [MET] under which I [can be] safe/protected; [be like] a strong fortress in which I am safe [DOU]. You [continually] command (OR, [Continually] command) [your angels] to rescue me.
4 Mans Dievs, izglāb mani no bezdievīgā rokas, no netaisnā un varas darītāja rokas,
God, rescue me from wicked [people], from the power of unjust and evil men.
5 Jo Tu esi mana cerība, Kungs, Dievs, mana drošība no manas jaunības.
Yahweh, my Lord, you are the one whom I confidently expect [to help me]; I have trusted in you since I was young.
6 Uz Tevi es esmu paļāvies no mātes miesām, Tu mani esi izvilcis no mātes miesām, mana dziesma Tevi teic bez mitēšanās.
I have depended on you all my life; you have taken care of me [IDM] since the day that I was born, [so] I will always praise you.
7 Es esmu daudziem par ērmu, bet Tu esi mans stiprais patvērums.
The manner in which I have conducted my life has been an example to many [people], because [they realize that] you have been my strong defender.
8 Lai mana mute pildās ar Tavu teikšanu, cauru dienu ar Tavu godu.
I praise you all day long, and I proclaim that you are glorious/wonderful.
9 Neatmet mani vecumā, neatstāj mani, kad spēks man zūd.
Now, when I have become an old man, do not reject/abandon me; do not abandon me now, when I am not strong any more.
10 Jo mani ienaidnieki mani aprunā, un kas uz manu dvēseli glūn, tie kopā spriež padomu
My enemies say [that they want to kill] me; they plan together [how they can do that].
11 Sacīdami: Dievs viņu ir atstājis, dzenaties pakaļ, sagrābiet viņu, jo glābēja nav.
They say [about me], “God has abandoned him; so now we can pursue him and seize him, because there is no one who will rescue him.”
12 Dievs, neesi tālu no manis, mans Dievs, steidzies man palīgā.
God, do not stay far away from me; hurry to help me!
13 Lai top kaunā, lai iet bojā, kas manai dvēselei turas pretī, ar kaunu un smieklu lai top apsegti, kas meklē manu nelaimi.
Cause those who (accuse me/say that I have done things that are wrong) to be defeated and destroyed; cause those who want to harm me to be shamed and disgraced.
14 Bet es vienmēr cerēšu un vairošu visu Tavu slavu.
But [as for me], I will continually and confidently expect [you to do great things for me], and I will praise you more and more.
15 Mana mute izteiks Tavu taisnību, cauru dienu Tavu pestīšanu, jebšu to nemāku izskaitīt.
I will tell people that you do what is right; all day long I will tell people how you have saved me, although what you have done is more than I can fully understand.
16 Es staigāšu Tā Kunga spēkā, es pieminēšu Tavu taisnību, Tevi vien.
Yahweh, my Lord, I will praise you for your mighty deeds; I will proclaim that only you always act justly.
17 Ak Dievs, Tu mani esi mācījis no manas jaunības; un līdz šim es pasludināju Tavus brīnumus.
God, you have taught me [many/those things] ever since I was young, and I still tell people about your wonderful deeds.
18 Tad nu arīdzan, kad vecums un sirmi mati ir klāt, neatstāj mani, ak Dievs, tiekams es Tavu elkoni būšu pasludinājis bērnu bērniem un Tavu stiprumu visiem pēcnākamiem.
And now, God, when I am old and my hair is gray, do not abandon me. [Stay with me] while I continue to proclaim to my children and grandchildren [HYP] that you are [very] powerful!
19 Tava taisnība, ak Dievs, ir it augsta, Tu dari lielas lietas; Dievs, kas ir tāds kā Tu?
God, you do many righteous deeds; [it is as though] they extend up to the sky. You have done great things; there is no one like you [RHQ].
20 Tu man lieci redzēt daudz bēdas un mokas, Tu mani darīsi atkal dzīvu, un mani izvilksi no zemes dziļumiem.
You have caused me to have many troubles and to suffer much, [but] you will cause me to become strong again; when I am almost dead [HYP], you will keep me alive.
21 Vairo manu godu, un iepriecini mani atkal.
You will cause me to be greatly honored and you will encourage/comfort me again.
22 Es Tevi arī slavēšu ar stīgu skaņām par Tavu uzticību, mans Dievs; es Tevi slavēšu ar koklēm, ak Svētais iekš Israēla!
I will also praise you [while I play] my harp; I will praise you, my God, for faithfully [doing what you have promised to do]. I will play hymns to praise you, the holy God whom [we] Israelis [worship].
23 Manas lūpas gavilēs, kad es Tev dziedāšu, un mana dvēsele, ko Tu esi atpestījis.
I [SYN] will shout joyfully while I play [the harp] for you; with my entire inner being I will sing because you have rescued me.
24 Un arī mana mēle Tavu taisnību izrunās cauru dienu, jo tie ir tapuši kaunā un apkaunoti, kas meklē manu nelaimi.
All day long I will tell people that you act righteously, because those who wanted to harm me will have been defeated and disgraced.
