1Taaveti laul. Issand, kuule mu palvet, pane tähele mu anumist! Oma ustavuses vasta mulle, oma õiguses!
1Hear my prayer, Yahweh. Listen to my petitions. In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me.
2Ja ära mine kohtusse oma sulasega, sest ükski elav inimene ei ole õige sinu palge ees!
2Don’t enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no man living is righteous.
3Sest vaenlane jälitab mu hinge, ta rõhub maha mu elu, ta paneb mind istuma pimedusse nagu need, kes on ammugi surnud.
3For the enemy pursues my soul. He has struck my life down to the ground. He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead.
4Mu vaim nõrkeb mu sees ja mu süda tunneb jubedust mu rinnus.
4Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me. My heart within me is desolate.
5Ma meenutan muistseid päevi, ma mõtisklen kõigist su tegudest, ma mõlgutan meeles su kätetöid.
5I remember the days of old. I meditate on all your doings. I contemplate the work of your hands.
6Ma laotan oma käed laiali sinu poole, mu hing himustab su järele nagu janunev maa. Sela.
6I spread forth my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. Selah.
7Vasta mulle peatselt, Issand! Mu vaim on lõppemas! Ära pane oma palet mu eest varjule, et ma ei saaks nende sarnaseks, kes lähevad alla hauda!
7Hurry to answer me, Yahweh. My spirit fails. Don’t hide your face from me, so that I don’t become like those who go down into the pit.
8Anna mulle vara kuulda oma heldust, sest ma loodan sinu peale! Anna mulle teada tee, mida pean käima, sest sinu poole ma tõstan oma hinge!
8Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning, for I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to you.
9Kisu mind ära, Issand, mu vaenlaste käest; sinu kaitse alla ma kipun!
9Deliver me, Yahweh, from my enemies. I flee to you to hide me.
10Õpeta mind tegema sinu meelt mööda, sest sina oled mu Jumal! Sinu hea Vaim juhatagu mind tasasel maal!
10Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.
11Issand, elusta mind oma nime pärast, vii välja mu hing kitsikusest oma õiguse pärast!
11Revive me, Yahweh, for your name’s sake. In your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.
12Ja hävita mu vaenlased oma helduse pärast, ja kaota ära kõik, kes mu hinge rõhuvad, sest ma olen sinu sulane!
12In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul, For I am your servant.
