Dievs mans palīgs
1 Korvedim. Stīgu pavadījumam. Dāvida psalms , 2 kad zīfieši nāca un teica Saulam: vai tad tu nezini, ka Dāvids slēpjas pie mums?
3 Dievs, ar savu vārdu glāb mani
un ar savu varu mani iztiesā!
4 Dievs, uzklausi manu lūgšanu, sadzirdi manus vārdus!
5 Svešinieki ceļas pret mani,
un varmākas meklē manu dzīvību –
Dievu tie neņem vērā.
6 Redzi, Dievs – mans palīgs,
Kungs nāk spēcināt manu dvēseli.
7 Viņš atmaksās ļaunumu maniem naidniekiem!
Tu savā patiesībā iznīdē viņus!
8 Labprātīgu upuri nesīšu tev,
tavam vārdam es pateikšos, Kungs, jo tas labs,
9 jo visās briesmās tas mani glābj,
uz saviem naidniekiem nicīgi raugos!
A Prayer for Protection from Enemies
1 Save me by your power, O God;
set me free by your might!
2 Hear my prayer, O God;
listen to my words!
3 Proud people are coming to attack me;
cruel people are trying to kill me—
those who do not care about God.
4 But God is my helper.
The Lord is my defender.
5 May God use their own evil to punish my enemies.
He will destroy them because he is faithful.
6 I will gladly offer you a sacrifice, O Lord;
I will give you thanks
because you are good.
7 You have rescued me from all my troubles,
and I have seen my enemies defeated.
