Drošība Dievā.
1 Dāvida dziesma. Tas Kungs ir mans gaišums un mana pestīšana, no kā man bīties? Tas Kungs ir manas dzīves patvērums, no kā man baiļoties?
2 Kad ļaundapi, mani pretinieki un ienaidnieki laužas uz mani, lai saplosītu manu miesu, viņi klups un kritīs.
3 Kad bruņoti pulki nostājas pret mani, mana sirds ir bez bailēm; kad pret mani ceļas karš, —ari tad es esmu pilns paļāvības.
4 Vienu es izlūdzos no tā Kunga, pēc kā es kāroju: ka es varu palikt tā Kunga namā visu savu mūžu, skatīt tā Kunga jaukumu un pielūgt Viņu Viņa svētajā vietā,
5 Jo Viņš mani apslēpj savā mājoklī ļaunā dienā, Viņš mani sargā savas telts pavēnī un ceļ mani augsti uz klintskalna.
6 Tā mana galva būs pacelta, ienaidniekiem redzot, es būšu altāra tuvumā un nesīšu upurus ar gavilēm, dziedādams un koklēdams tam Kungam!
7 Uzklausi, ak Kungs, manu balsi, kad es saucu, esi man žēlīgs un atbildi man!
8 Mana sirds turas pie Tava vārda: „Meklējiet manu vaigu!“ Es meklēju, Kungs, Tavu vaigu.
9 Neapslēp no manis savu vaigu un neatstum savu kalpu dusmās, —Tu esi mans palīgs! Neatmet mani un neatstāj mani, Tu Dievs, mans pestītājs!
10 Ja mans tēvs un mana māte mani atstātu, tad tas Kungs mani pieņems.
11 Māci man, Kungs, Tavu ceļu un vadi mani pa līdzenu teku manu ienaid-nieku dēļ!
12 Nenodod mani manu pretinieku un nomācēju niknumam! Jo viltus liecinieki ceļas pret mani un draud ar varas darbiem.
13 Bet es esmu pilns paļāvības, jo redzu tā Kunga laipnību dzīvo zemē.
14 Esi droša un stipra, mana sirds, un gaidi uz to Kungu!
A Psalm of David.
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When thou saidst , Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
9 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
13 I had fainted , unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
