A Prayer in Times of Trouble
1 Show that I am right, God!
Defend me against everyone
who doesn't know you;
rescue me from each
of those deceitful liars.
2 I run to you for protection.
Why do you turn me away?
Why must enemies mistreat me
and make me sad?
3 Send your light and your truth
to guide me.
Let them lead me to your house
on your sacred mountain.
4 Then I will worship
at your altar because you
make me joyful.
You are my God,
and I will praise you.
Yes, I will praise you
as I play my harp.
5 Why am I discouraged?
Why am I restless?
I trust you, Lord!
And I will praise you again
because you help me,
and you are my God.
Dievs taisns tiesnesis.
1 Gādā man taisnību, mans Dievs, un izved galā manu prāvu pret nesvētiem ļaudīm! No viltus ļaudīm un ļauna darītājiem izglāb mani, Kungs!
2 Tu taču esi mans stiprais Dievs, kas sargā. Kāpēc Tu novērsies no manis? Kāpēc mans gājiens lai norit skumjās un ienaidnieka spaidos?
3 Sūti savu gaismu un savu patiesību, ka tās mani vada, ka tās mani aizved Tavā svētajā kalnā. Tavos dzīvokļos.
4 Ak, kaut es tur nokļūtu pie Dieva altāfa, pie Dieva, kas man piešķir prieka pilnu sajūsmu! Tad es gavilētu un ar koklēm Tev pateiktos, Tev, Dievs, ak mans Dievs!
5 Kāpēc tu esi tik izmisusi, mana dvēsele, un uk nemiera pilna manī? Ceri uz Dievu, jo es Viņam vēl pateikšos, savam glābējam un savam Dievam!
