< Psalms 140 >

1 Deliver me, O Jehovah, from the evil man. Preserve me from the violent man,
Ispalennak, O Yahweh, kadagiti nadangkes; salaknibannak kadagiti naranggas a tattao.
2 and men who devise mischievous things in their heart. They gather themselves continually together for war.
Mangpangpanggepda iti dakes kadagiti pusoda; inaldaw a mangirugrugida iti riri.
3 They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent. Adders' poison is under their lips. (Selah)
Makasugat dagiti dilada a kas kadagiti uleg; adda kadagiti bibigda ti gita ti karasaen. (Selah)
4 Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of a wicked man. Preserve me from violent men, who have purposed to thrust aside my steps.
Salaknibannak, O Yahweh, kadagiti ima dagiti nadangkes; saluadannak kadagiti naranggas a tattao a mangpangpanggep a mangdangran kaniak.
5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords. They have spread a net by the wayside. They have set snares for me. (Selah)
Nangiwayat dagiti natangsit a tattao iti pakaipalab-ogak; nangiwarasda iti iket; nangiwayatda iti pakasiloak. (Selah)
6 I said to Jehovah, Thou are my God. Give ear to the voice of my supplications, O Jehovah.
Kinunak kenni Yahweh, “Sika ti Diosko; dumngegka kadagiti panagdawdawatko iti asi.”
7 O Jehovah the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou have covered my head in the day of battle.
O Yahweh nga Apok, napigsaka a mangispal; salsalaknibam ti ulok iti aldaw ti gubat.
8 Grant not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked man. Do not further his evil device. They exalt themselves. (Selah)
O Yahweh, saanmo a patgan dagiti tarigagay dagiti nadangkes; saanmo nga itulok nga agballigi dagiti panggepda. (Selah)
9 As for the head of those who encompass me around, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
Natangsit dagiti nakapalawlaw kaniak; bay-am a ti kinadakes dagiti bibigda ti mangdadael kadakuada.
10 Let burning coals fall upon them. Let them be cast into the fire, into deep pits, from where they shall not rise.
Bay-am a matnag dagiti beggang kadakuada; ipurwakmo ida iti apuy, kadagiti mangliwengliweng nga abut, a saanda pulos a makaruk-at.
11 An evil speaker shall not be established in the earth. Evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
Saan koma a mapatalged ditoy lubong ti siasinoman a mangibagbaga kadagiti dakes a banbanag kadagiti sabali; anupen koma iti kinadakes ti naranggas a tao tapno dadaelenna isuna.
12 I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted man, and justice for the needy.
Ammok nga ikaluya ni Yahweh dagiti mairurrurumen, ken ikalinteganna dagiti agkasapulan.
13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks to thy name. The upright shall dwell in thy presence.
Awan duadua a pagyamanan dagiti nalinteg a tattao ti naganmo; agnaed dagiti nalinteg a tattao iti presensiam.
