Psalmi 71
1 Uz tevi, Kungs, es paļaujos, ne mūžam neliec man palikt kaunā.
In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age.
2 Izglāb mani caur Savu taisnību un atsvabini mani, atgriez Savu ausi pie manis un atpestī mani.
In Thy righteousness Thou dost deliver me, And dost cause me to escape, Incline unto me Thine ear, 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 to me for a rock — a habitation, To go in continually, Thou hast given command to save me, For my rock and my bulwark [art] Thou.
4 Mans Dievs, izglāb mani no bezdievīgā rokas, no netaisnā un varas darītāja rokas,
O my God, cause me to escape From the hand of the wicked, From the hand of the perverse and violent.
5 Jo Tu esi mana cerība, Kungs, Dievs, mana drošība no manas jaunības.
For Thou [art] my hope, O Lord Jehovah, My trust from my youth.
6 Uz Tevi es esmu paļāvies no mātes miesām, Tu mani esi izvilcis no mātes miesām, mana dziesma Tevi teic bez mitēšanās.
By Thee I have been supported from the womb, From my mother's bowels Thou dost cut me out, In Thee [is] my praise continually.
7 Es esmu daudziem par ērmu, bet Tu esi mans stiprais patvērums.
As a wonder I have been to many, And Thou [art] my strong refuge.
8 Lai mana mute pildās ar Tavu teikšanu, cauru dienu ar Tavu godu.
Filled is my mouth [with] Thy praise, All the day [with] Thy beauty.
9 Neatmet mani vecumā, neatstāj mani, kad spēks man zūd.
Cast me not off at the time of old age, According to the consumption of my power forsake me not.
10 Jo mani ienaidnieki mani aprunā, un kas uz manu dvēseli glūn, tie kopā spriež padomu
For mine enemies have spoken against me, And those watching my soul have taken counsel together,
11 Sacīdami: Dievs viņu ir atstājis, dzenaties pakaļ, sagrābiet viņu, jo glābēja nav.
Saying, 'God hath forsaken him, Pursue and catch him, for there is no deliverer.'
12 Dievs, neesi tālu no manis, mans Dievs, steidzies man palīgā.
O God, be not far from me, O my God, for my help make haste.
13 Lai top kaunā, lai iet bojā, kas manai dvēselei turas pretī, ar kaunu un smieklu lai top apsegti, kas meklē manu nelaimi.
They are ashamed, they are consumed, Who are opposing my soul, They are covered [with] reproach and blushing, Who are seeking my evil,
14 Bet es vienmēr cerēšu un vairošu visu Tavu slavu.
And I continually do wait with hope, And have added unto all Thy praise.
15 Mana mute izteiks Tavu taisnību, cauru dienu Tavu pestīšanu, jebšu to nemāku izskaitīt.
My mouth recounteth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy salvation, For I have not known the numbers.
16 Es staigāšu Tā Kunga spēkā, es pieminēšu Tavu taisnību, Tevi vien.
I come in the might of the Lord Jehovah, I mention Thy righteousness — Thine only.
17 Ak Dievs, Tu mani esi mācījis no manas jaunības; un līdz šim es pasludināju Tavus brīnumus.
God, Thou hast taught me from my youth, And hitherto I declare Thy wonders.
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 also unto old age and grey hairs, O God, forsake me not, Till I declare Thy strength to a generation, To every one that cometh Thy might.
19 Tava taisnība, ak Dievs, ir it augsta, Tu dari lielas lietas; Dievs, kas ir tāds kā Tu?
And Thy righteousness, O God, [is] unto the heights, Because Thou hast done great things, O God, who [is] like Thee?
20 Tu man lieci redzēt daudz bēdas un mokas, Tu mani darīsi atkal dzīvu, un mani izvilksi no zemes dziļumiem.
Because Thou hast showed me many and sad distresses, Thou turnest back — Thou revivest me, And from the depths of the earth, Thou turnest back — Thou bringest me up.
21 Vairo manu godu, un iepriecini mani atkal.
Thou dost increase my greatness, And Thou surroundest — Thou comfortest me,
22 Es Tevi arī slavēšu ar stīgu skaņām par Tavu uzticību, mans Dievs; es Tevi slavēšu ar koklēm, ak Svētais iekš Israēla!
I also thank Thee with a vessel of psaltery, Thy truth, O my God, I sing to Thee with a harp, O Holy One of Israel,
23 Manas lūpas gavilēs, kad es Tev dziedāšu, un mana dvēsele, ko Tu esi atpestījis.
My lips cry aloud when I sing praise to Thee, And my soul that Thou hast redeemed,
24 Un arī mana mēle Tavu taisnību izrunās cauru dienu, jo tie ir tapuši kaunā un apkaunoti, kas meklē manu nelaimi.
My tongue also all the day uttereth Thy righteousness, Because ashamed — because confounded, Have been those seeking my evil!
