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.
Gādā man taisnību, mans Dievs
1 Iztiesā mani, Dievs,
un ved manu prāvu pret bezdievjiem!
No krāpniekiem un varmākām izglāb mani!
2 Tu esi mans patvērums, Dievs, –
kāpēc tu pamet mani?
Kāpēc staigāju sērās, naidnieka vajāts?
3 Sūti savu gaismu un patiesību, lai tās mani vada,
lai tās ved mani tavā svētajā kalnā un tavos mājokļos.
4 Es iešu pie Dieva altāra,
pie savas līksmības Dieva,
un slavēšu tevi ar cītaru, Dievs, mans Dievs!
5 Ko tu tik nomākta, mana dvēsele, ko plosies manī?
Gaidi uz Dievu, jo atkal slavēšu viņu,
savu glābiņu un savu Dievu!
