Pateicība par naidnieku uzvarēšanu
1 Korvedim. Kā “Mirsti par dēlu”. Dāvida psalms .
2 Pateikšos Kungam no visas sirds,
teikšu tavus brīnuma darbus,
3 priecāšos tevī un līksmošos,
dziedāšu tavam vārdam, Visuaugstais!
4 Mani naidnieki metīsies bēgt,
tie klups un ies bojā tavā priekšā,
5 jo tu spried man tiesu un ved manu prāvu,
tu nosēdies tronī un taisnīgi tiesā.
6 Tu norāj tautas, tu izdeldē ļaundarus,
tu izdzēs to vārdus uz laiku laikiem.
7 Satriekti naidnieki drupās uz mūžu,
tu pilsētas esi izsakņojis –
pat miņa par tām zudusi!
8 Bet Kungs mūžam valdīs,
tiesai viņš nolicis savu troni,
9 viņš tiesās pasauli pēc taisnības
un lems pār tautām pēc patiesības.
10 Kungs ir patvērums vajātam,
patvērums posta laikos!
11 Tev uzticas visi, kas zina tavu vārdu,
jo tu, Kungs, nepamet tos, kas tevi meklē.
12 Dziediet Kungam, kas mīt Ciānā,
stāstiet tautām viņa darbus.
13 Asinsatriebējs viņus atceras,
neaizmirst nabago raudas.
14 Žēlo mani, Kungs,
redzi, kā es ciešu no tiem, kas mani nīst, –
tu izrāvi mani no nāves vārtiem!
15 Lai es teicu visu tavu slavu,
Ciānas meitas vārtos lai līksmojos,
ka tu glāb mani!
16 Noslīka tautas bedrē, ko pašas raka,
cilpā, ko pašas slēpa, tām aizķērās kāja.
17 Kungs liek sevi atzīt, viņš spriež tiesu,
ar savu roku viņš satriec ļaundarus.
18 Ļaundari atgriežas šeolā –
visas tautas, kas aizmirst Dievu.
19 Ne uz mūžu grūtdieņi aizmirsti,
nedz nabagu cerība zudīs uz laikiem!
20 Celies, Kungs, lai nav cilvēka uzvara,
lai tautas top tiesātas tavā priekšā!
21 Kungs, iedzen tiem bailes,
lai tautas zina, ka ir tikai cilvēki!
Thanksgiving to God for His Justice
1 I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart;
I will tell of all the wonderful things you have done.
2 I will sing with joy because of you.
I will sing praise to you, Almighty God.
3 My enemies turn back when you appear;
they fall down and die.
4 You are fair and honest in your judgments,
and you have judged in my favor.
5 You have condemned the heathen
and destroyed the wicked;
they will be remembered no more.
6 Our enemies are finished forever;
you have destroyed their cities,
and they are completely forgotten.
7 But the Lord is king forever;
he has set up his throne for judgment.
8 He rules the world with righteousness;
he judges the nations with justice.
9 The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,
a place of safety in times of trouble.
10 Those who know you, Lord, will trust you;
you do not abandon anyone who comes to you.
11 Sing praise to the Lord, who rules in Zion!
Tell every nation what he has done!
12 God remembers those who suffer;
he does not forget their cry,
and he punishes those who wrong them.
13 Be merciful to me, O Lord!
See the sufferings my enemies cause me!
Rescue me from death, O Lord,
14 that I may stand before the people of Jerusalem
and tell them all the things for which I praise you.
I will rejoice because you saved me.
15 The heathen have dug a pit and fallen in;
they have been caught in their own trap.
16 The Lord has revealed himself by his righteous judgments,
and the wicked are trapped by their own deeds.
17 Death is the destiny of all the wicked,
of all those who reject God.
18 The needy will not always be neglected;
the hope of the poor will not be crushed forever.
19 Come, Lord! Do not let anyone defy you!
Bring the heathen before you
and pronounce judgment on them.
20 Make them afraid, O Lord;
make them know that they are only mortal beings.
