Dieva vārdu mācības svētība
1 Svētīti tie, kuru takas bez vainas, kas
Kunga bauslībā staigā.
2 Svētīti tie, kas viņa liecības sarga,
kas no visas sirds viņu meklē,
3 tie, kas netaisnību nedara un viņa ceļos staigā!
4 Savus rīkojumus tu pavēlēji ievērot krietni,
5 kaut es ietu stingru ceļu
un tavus likumus ievērotu!
6 Tad es kaunā nepaliktu,
tik lūkotos uz visiem taviem baušļiem!
7 Es tevi slavēšu ar taisnu prātu
un mācīšos tavas taisnības tiesas!
8 Tavus likumus es sargāšu,
nepamet mani nemūžam!
9 Kā lai zēns dara šķīstu savu taku –
tik turēdamies pie tava vārda!
10 No visas sirds es meklēju tevi,
neļauj man noklīst no taviem baušļiem!
11 Sirdī es noglabāju tavus vārdus,
lai nesagrēkotu pret tevi!
12 Slavēts tu, Kungs,
māci man tavus likumus!
13 Ar savām lūpām es vēstīšu
visus tavas mutes spriedumus!
14 Par tavām liecībām es ielīksmojos vairāk
nekā par visiem labumiem!
15 Par taviem rīkojumiem es domāšu
un lūkošos uz tavām takām,
16 par taviem likumiem es līksmošu,
tavu vārdu es neaizmirsīšu!
17 Lem savam kalpam labu – ka esmu dzīvs! –
un es sargāšu tavu vārdu!
18 Atver man acis, un es lūkošos brīnumos,
kas tavā bauslībā!
19 Tik pagaidām mītu uz zemes,
neslēp no manis savus baušļus!
20 Manu dvēseli vienmēr grauž
ilgas pēc tavām tiesām!
21 Tu norāj bezdievjus,
nolādēti, kas nomaldās no taviem baušļiem!
22 Aiztaupi man paļas un nievas,
jo es tavas liecības sargu!
23 Augstmaņi pret mani kaļ plānus,
bet tavs kalps par taviem likumiem domā!
24 Tiešām, tavas liecības ir mana līksme
un manas padomdevējas!
25 Pie putekļiem kļaujas man dvēsele,
dari mani dzīvu, kā solījis!
26 Kurp gāju, tev pastāstīju, un tu man atbildēji,
māci man tavus likumus!
27 Skaidro man tavus rīkojumus,
un es domāšu par taviem brīnumiem!
28 Lāso man dvēsele rūpēs,
stiprini mani, kā esi teicis!
29 Melus ņem prom no manis,
lai tava bauslība mani žēlo!
30 Uzticības ceļu es izvēlos,
tavas tiesas par īstām turu!
31 Es pieķēries tavām liecībām, Kungs,
nepamet mani kaunā!
32 Es skriešu pa tavu baušļu ceļu,
jo tu manu prātu vērt plašu!
33 Rādi man, Kungs, tavu likumu ceļu,
es to nostaigāšu līdz galam!
34 Skaidro man, un es sargāšu tavu bauslību,
turēšu to no visas sirds!
35 Ved mani pa tavu baušļu taku, jo man tas tīk.
36 Velc manu sirdi pie tavām liecībām,
ne pie netaisna guvuma!
37 Novērs man acis, lai neskatās niekus,
tavos ceļos dzīvini mani!
38 Dari, ko savam kalpam solīji,
jo tas pienākas tiem, kas tevis bīstas.
39 Novērs no manis paļas, ko baidos,
jo tavas tiesas ir labas.
40 Redzi, es kāroju tavus rīkojumus,
savā taisnībā dzīvini mani!
41 Kungs, dāvā man savu žēlastību,
savu glābšanu – kā esi solījis!
42 Gan es vēl atbildēšu saviem paļātājiem,
jo es paļaujos uz tavu vārdu!
43 Neizrauj man no mutes patiesības vārdu nemūžam,
jo uz tavu taisnību ceru!
44 Mūžam tavu bauslību ievērošu,
uz mūžiem un vienmēr!
45 Un es staigāšu plašumos,
jo tavus rīkojumus es būšu pildījis!
46 Un es runāšu par tavām liecībām ķēniņu priekšā
un nekaunēšos!
47 Un es līksmošos par taviem baušļiem,
kurus es mīlu!
48 Un es pacelšu savas delnas uz taviem baušļiem,
kurus mīlu,
un domāšu par taviem likumiem!
49 Atceries, ko savam kalpam teici,
kā devi man cerību!
50 Tas man mierinājums manās ciešanās,
ko tu teici – tas dzīvina mani!
51 Bezdievji dara man pāri bez mitas,
bet no tavas bauslības es nenovēršos!
52 Kungs, es atceros tavas tiesas no aizlaikiem –
tad esmu mierīgs.
53 Kaisme mani sagrābj ļaundaru dēļ,
kas atmet tavu bauslību!
54 Tavi likumi ir manas dziesmas
miteklī, kur esmu apmeties.
55 Naktī es atceros tavu vārdu, Kungs,
es ievērošu tavu bauslību!
56 Tā es daru –
tavus rīkojumus es pildu!
57 Mana daļa ir Kungs,
es teicu, ka tavus vārdus ievēroju!
58 No sirds pūlos, lai tu atmaigsti,
apžēlo mani, kā esi solījis!
59 Es savus ceļus pārdomāju,
tagad eju pie tavām liecībām atpakaļ!
60 Es steidzos un nevilcinos ievērot tavus baušļus!
61 Kaut ļaundaru virves mani apvij,
es tavu bauslību neaizmirstu!
62 Pusnaktī ceļos slavēt tevi
par tavām taisnīgajām tiesām!
63 Es biedrs visiem, kas bīstas tevis,
un tiem, kas pilda tavus rīkojumus!
64 Kungs, zeme ir pilna tavas žēlastības,
māci man savus likumus!
65 Labu tu darīji savam kalpam,
Kungs, kā biji solījis!
66 Māci man labu jušanu un zināšanu,
jo taviem taisnīgajiem baušļiem es ticu!
67 Pirms cietu, es maldījos,
bet tagad es daru, ko tu esi teicis!
68 Tu esi labs un dari labu,
māci man tavus likumus!
69 Bezdievji mani aptraipīja meliem,
bet es no visas sirds pildu tavus rīkojumus!
70 Kā tauki trulas tiem sirdis,
bet es līksmoju par tavu bauslību!
71 Labi man, ka es cietu,
tad es mācījos tavus likumus.
72 Tavas mutes bauslība
man labāka par tūkstošiem zeltā un sudrabā!
73 Tavas rokas mani radīja un taisīja,
apskaidro mani, ka mācos tavus baušļus!
74 Tie, kas tevis bīstas, redzēs mani un priecāsies,
jo uz tavu vārdu es ceru!
75 Kungs, es zinu, ka tavas tiesas ir taisnīgas,
un ticībā tu liki man ciest.
76 Lai tava žēlastība ir man mierinājums,
kā tu pats teici savam kalpam!
77 Lai nāk man tava žēlsirdība,
jo tava bauslība ir mana līksme!
78 Lai tiek kaunā bezdievji, kas ar viltu man kaitējuši,
bet es domāšu par taviem rīkojumiem!
79 Lai pie manis pulcējas tie, kas bijā tevi,
lai viņi zina tavas liecības!
80 Lai mana sirds nevainojama tavos likumos,
ka nepalieku kaunā!
81 Mana dvēsele tvīkst tavas glābšanas,
uz tavu vārdu es ceru!
82 Tvīkst manas acis par to, ko tu esi teicis;
kad tu mani mierināsi?
83 Esmu palicis kā izkaltis ādas maiss,
bet tavus likumus es neaizmirstu!
84 Cik vēl jāgaida tavam kalpam,
kad tu spriedīsi maniem vajātājiem tiesu?
85 Bezdievji man izrakuši bedres,
tie nerīkojas pēc tavas bauslības!
86 Visi tavi baušļi ir patiesi,
bet uz viltu ir mani vajātāji – palīdzi man!
87 Tie gandrīz izdeldēja mani no zemes,
bet es tavus rīkojumus nepametu!
88 Dari mani dzīvu savā žēlastībā,
un es ievērošu tavas mutes liecības!
89 Kungs, tavs vārds
uz mūžiem debesīs!
90 Uz audžu audzēm ticība tev – tu radīji zemi,
un tā vēl ir!
91 Visi gaida uz tavu tiesu šodien,
jo visi ir tavi kalpi!
92 Ja tava bauslība nebūtu mana līksme,
tad pagalam es būtu savās ciešanās!
93 Nemūžam neaizmirsīšu tavus rīkojumus,
jo ar tiem tu mani dari dzīvu!
94 Es esmu tavs, glāb mani,
jo es tiecos pēc taviem rīkojumiem!
95 Ļaundari gaida izdeldēt mani,
bet es prātoju par tavām liecībām!
96 Pat pilnībai esmu redzējis galu,
bet tavi baušļi plešas bez gala!
97 Kā es tavu bauslību mīlu –
visu dienu par to vien domāju!
98 Par naidniekiem es gudrāks tavu baušļu dēļ,
mūžam tie mani!
99 Par saviem skolotājiem es gudrāks,
jo tavas liecības man ir pārdomām!
100 Par vecajiem es prātīgāks,
jo tavus rīkojumus es pildu!
101 Uz ļaunas takas es kāju nesperu,
tā es turos pie tava vārda!
102 No tavām tiesām es nenovēršos,
jo tu pamāci mani!
103 Cik manām aukslējām gardi tavi vārdi,
kā medus tie manai mutei!
104 No taviem rīkojumiem man saprašana,
tādēļ es nīstu visus melu ceļus!
105 Tavs vārds ir gaismeklis manām kājām
un gaisma manām takām!
106 Es nozvērējos un nosolījos ievērot
tavas taisnās tiesas!
107 Kungs, es neganti ciešu,
dari mani dzīvu, kā tu esi solījis!
108 Manus mutes upurus pieņem, Kungs,
un māci man tavas tiesas!
109 Mana dzīvība kā uz delnas vienmēr,
tavu bauslību es neaizmirstu!
110 Ļaundari man lamatas liek,
bet no taviem rīkojumiem es neatstājos!
111 Tavas liecības uz mūžiem es iemantojis,
lai tās ir līksmība manai sirdij!
112 Es nopūlos un tavus likumus
pildu līdz galam!
113 Divkošus es nīstu,
un tavu bauslību es mīlu!
114 Tu esi mana slēptuve un mans vairogs,
uz tavu vārdu es ceru!
115 Vācieties prom no manis, ļaundari,
es turēšu sava Dieva baušļus!
116 Kā solīji, balsti mani, ka palieku dzīvs,
neapkauno mani cerībās!
117 Pabalsti mani, un es izglābšos
un turēšu tavus likumus vienmēr!
118 Nievā visus, kas no taviem likumiem novēršas,
jo melu pilns viņu viltus!
119 Kā sārņus tu izmēz visus zemes ļaunos,
tādēļ es mīlu tavas liecības!
120 Tevi bīstoties, dreb mana miesa,
un no tavām tiesām es bīstos!
121 Esmu darījis tiesu un taisnību,
nepamet mani maniem apspiedējiem!
122 Iestājies savam kalpam par labu,
lai bezdievji mani neapspiež!
123 Manas acis tvīkst tavas pestīšanas
un pēc taviem taisnības vārdiem.
124 Dari savam kalpam pēc savas žēlastības
un māci man savus likumus!
125 Es esmu tavs kalps, apskaidro mani,
ka es tavas liecības zinu!
126 Laiks Kunga darbiem,
tie lauzuši tavu bauslību!
127 Tādēļ es mīlu tavus baušļus
vairāk par zeltu un tīrzeltu!
128 Tādēļ visus tavus rīkojumus par taisnīgiem turu –
melu takas es nīstu!
129 Brīnišķas tavas liecības,
tādēļ mana dvēsele tās sargā!
130 Tavi vārdi apgaismo
un apskaidro vientiešus.
131 Es atpletu muti un kampu,
jo pēc taviem baušļiem es alkstu.
132 Pievērsies man un žēlo mani –
tāda ir tiesa tiem, kas mīl tavu vārdu.
133 Mani soļi atbalstās tavos vārdos,
lai nevalda pār mani nekāda vaina!
134 Izpērc mani no apspiedēja,
un es ievērošu tavus rīkojumus!
135 Tavs vaigs atspīd pār tavu kalpu,
māci man savus likumus!
136 Ūdens straumēm pārplūst man acis par to,
ka tavu bauslību netur!
137 Taisns tu, Kungs,
un taisnīgas tavas tiesas!
138 Savās liecībās tu esi pavēlējis
taisnību un īstu ticību!
139 Kaisme rij mani,
jo mani naidnieki aizmirst tavus vārdus!
140 Tavi solījumi pārbaudīti gana,
un tavs kalps tos mīl!
141 Kaut mazs es un nievāts,
tavus rīkojumus es neaizmirstu!
142 Tava taisnība taisna uz mūžiem,
un tava bauslība ir patiesa!
143 Nelaime un spaidi mani piemeklē,
bet tavi baušļi ir mana līksme!
144 Tavas liecības uz mūžiem ir taisnīgas,
skaidro tu mani, ka es palieku dzīvs!
145 Es saucu no visas sirds – atbildi man, Kungs! –
un tavus likumus es pildīšu!
146 Es saucu tevi – glāb mani,
un es turēšu tavas liecības!
147 Agri mijkrēslī cēlos un palīgā saucu,
uz taviem vārdiem es ceru!
148 Modrākas man acis nekā sargiem,
kamēr domāju par taviem vārdiem!
149 Uzklausi manu balsi savā žēlastībā, Kungs,
savā tiesā dari mani dzīvu!
150 Vajātāji uznākuši ar ļaunu nodomu,
no tavas bauslības tie tālu!
151 Tuvu tu, Kungs,
un visi tavi baušļi ir patiesība!
152 Jau sen no tavām liecībām zināju,
ka uz mūžiem tu esi tās dibinājis!
153 Uzlūko manas ciešanas un glāb mani,
jo tavu bauslību es neesmu aizmirsis!
154 Izstrīdi manu strīdu un izpērc mani,
kā solījis – dzīvini mani!
155 Tālu no ļaundariem glābšana,
jo tavs likums tiem nerūp!
156 Kungs, tava žēlastība ir liela,
ar tavu taisnību dzīvini mani!
157 Daudz man vajātāju un naidnieku –
no tavām liecībām es nenovērsīšos!
158 Es paveros uz neuzticīgajiem,
un man riebj, ka tavus vārdus tie netur!
159 Redzi, kā es mīlu tavus norādījumus,
Kungs, ar savu žēlastību dzīvini mani!
160 Galvenais tavos vārdos ir patiesība,
mūžīgas tavas taisnās tiesas!
161 Augstmaņi vajā mani bez vainas,
bet no taviem vārdiem mana sirds bīstas!
162 Par to, ko tu saki, es tik līksms kā tas,
kas dabūjis varenu laupījumu!
163 Melus es nīstu, un man tie riebj,
bet tavu bauslību es mīlu!
164 Septiņreiz dienā es slavēju tevi
par tavām taisnajām tiesām!
165 Liels miers tiem, kas mīl tavu bauslību, –
nav nekā, kas liktu tiem klupt.
166 Kungs, es ceru uz tavu glābšanu,
un tavus baušļus es pildu!
167 Mana dvēsele tur tavas liecības
un mīl tās jo ļoti.
168 Es ievēroju tavus rīkojumus un tavas liecības,
jo visi mani ceļi ir tavā priekšā!
169 Lai mans brēciens sasniedz tevi, Kungs,
kā tu solījis, apskaidro mani!
170 Lai mana lūgsna sasniedz tevi,
kā tu sacījis, glāb mani!
171 Lai manas lūpas izverd slavu,
jo tu man mācīji savus likumus!
172 Lai mana mēle dzied tavus vārdus,
jo visi tavi baušļi ir taisni!
173 Lai tava roka ir mans palīgs,
jo tavus rīkojumus es izvēlos!
174 Es ilgojos tavas glābšanas, Kungs,
un tava bauslība ir mana līksme!
175 Dzīvini manu dvēseli, un es slavēšu tevi,
un tavas tiesas palīdzēs man!
176 Es klīstu kā zudusi avs – meklē savu kalpu! –
jo tavus baušļus es neaizmirstu!
