Ticīgā vakara lūgšana
1 Korvedim. Stīgu pavadījumam. Dāvida psalms .
2 Kad saucu, atbildi, Dievs, mana taisnība,
atlaid mani no spaidiem,
žēlo un uzklausi manu lūgšanu!
3 Varenie , cik ilgi mans gods būs kaunā?
Jūs niecību mīlat, jūs melus meklējat!
4 Ziniet, taisno Kungs atlicina sev!
Kungs dzird, kad es viņu saucu!
5 Drebiet un negrēkojiet,
izvaicājiet savu sirdi, kad esat gultā, –
un cietiet klusu!
6 Upurējiet taisnības upurus
un paļaujieties uz Kungu!
7 Daudzi saka: kaut mēs redzētu labu!
Sava vaiga gaišumu
cel pār mums, Kungs!
8 Tu manai sirdij devi vairāk prieka
nekā tiem, kam daudz graudu un jaunvīna!
9 Mierā es gulšos un mierā iemigšu,
jo vienīgi tu, Kungs,
drošībā ļauj man mājot!
Evening Prayer for Help
1 Answer me when I pray,
O God, my defender!
When I was in trouble, you helped me.
Be kind to me now and hear my prayer.
2 How long will you people insult me?
How long will you love what is worthless
and go after what is false?
3 Remember that the Lord has chosen the righteous for his own,
and he hears me when I call to him.
4 Tremble with fear and stop sinning;
think deeply about this,
when you lie in silence on your beds.
5 Offer the right sacrifices to the Lord,
and put your trust in him.
6 There are many who pray:
“Give us more blessings, O Lord.
Look on us with kindness!”
7 But the joy that you have given me
is more than they will ever have
with all their grain and wine.
8 When I lie down, I go to sleep in peace;
you alone, O Lord, keep me perfectly safe.
