Ticīgā rīta lūgšana grūtā laikā
1 Dāvida psalms , tam bēgot no sava dēla Abšāloma.
2 Kungs, cik man daudz naidnieku –
daudz to, kas ceļas pret mani!
3 Daudzi saka par mani:
nebūs viņam glābiņa pie Dieva! –
4 Bet tu, Kungs, esi mans vairogs,
mans gods, tu cel mani .
5 Skaļā balsī es saucu Kungu,
un viņš man atbild no sava svētā kalna.
6 Es liekos gulēt un aizmiegu,
mostos, jo Kungs mani stiprina.
7 Nebīšos pat desmitiem tūkstošu,
kas stāj visapkārt pret mani.
8 Jel celies, Kungs,
glāb mani, mans Dievs!
Tu siti visus manus naidniekus vaigā,
ļaundaru zobus satrieci!
9 Glābiņš – no Kunga!
Tavai tautai – tava svētība!
Morning Prayer for Help
1 I have so many enemies, Lord,
so many who turn against me!
2 They talk about me and say,
“God will not help him.”
3 But you, O Lord, are always my shield from danger;
you give me victory
and restore my courage.
4 I call to the Lord for help,
and from his sacred hill he answers me.
5 I lie down and sleep,
and all night long the Lord protects me.
6 I am not afraid of the thousands of enemies
who surround me on every side.
7 Come, Lord! Save me, my God!
You punish all my enemies
and leave them powerless to harm me.
8 Victory comes from the Lord—
may he bless his people.
