Lūgšana pēc palīga un glābēja no naidniekiem
(Ps 40:14–18)
1 Korvedim. Dāvida psalms, lai daudzinātu.
2 Dievs, nāc glāb mani, Kungs, palīgā steidzies!
3 Kauns tiem un misēklis, kas manu dzīvību meklē!
Lai bēg ar negodu, kas man vēl ļaunu!
4 Lai aizbēg apkaunoti tie, kas saka: ā, re! –

5 Lai līksmo tevī un priecājas visi, kas meklē tevi,
un allaž lai saka: liels ir Dievs! –
tie, kuri mīl tavu pestīšanu!

6 Bet es – nabaga cietējs –
Dievs, steidzies pie manis!
Mans palīgs un glābējs tu, Kungs, –
nekavējies!
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.
1 Make haste , O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.
2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.
3 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
4 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
5 But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
