A King's Promise
1 My song is about loyalty and justice,
and I sing it to you, O Lord.
2 My conduct will be faultless.
When will you come to me?
I will live a pure life in my house
3 and will never tolerate evil.
I hate the actions of those who turn away from God;
I will have nothing to do with them.
4 I will not be dishonest
and will have no dealings with evil.
5 I will get rid of anyone
who whispers evil things about someone else;
I will not tolerate anyone
who is proud and arrogant.
6 I will approve of those who are faithful to God
and will let them live in my palace.
Those who are completely honest
will be allowed to serve me.
7 No liar will live in my palace;
no hypocrite will remain in my presence.
8 Day after day I will destroy
the wicked in our land;
I will expel all who are evil
from the city of the Lord.
Valdnieka lūgšana pēc godīguma un taisnīguma
1 Dāvida psalms .
Uzticību un taisnību es apdziedāšu,
tev, Kungs, es dziedāšu slavu!
2 Es pūlēšos dzīvot krietni!
Kad tu nāksi pie manis?!
Es staigāšu krietns savā namā!
3 Es neņemšos acu priekšā nekādu nelietību!
Atkritēju darbus es nīstu – tie nelips pie manis!
4 Viltus būs nost no manis, es ļaunuma nepazīšu!
5 Kas apmēļo slepus savu kaimiņu, tādu es izdeldēšu!
Kas nicīgi skatās un augstprātīgs, to es necietīšu!
6 Manas acis skatīs šīs zemes uzticamos,
ka tie var mājot ar mani!
Kas dzīvo krietni, lai man kalpo!
7 Viltnieks nemitīs manā namā,
melkulis nepaliks manu acu priekšā!
8 Ik rītu es nīdēšu visus zemes ļaundarus,
lai izskausti nekrietnie Kunga pilsētā!
