Psalms 140
1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Rescue me, O LORD, from evil men. Protect me from men of violence,
Ispalennak, O Yahweh, kadagiti nadangkes; salaknibannak kadagiti naranggas a tattao.
2 who devise evil in their hearts and stir up war all day long.
Mangpangpanggepda iti dakes kadagiti pusoda; inaldaw a mangirugrugida iti riri.
3 They sharpen their tongues like snakes; the venom of vipers is on their lips.
Makasugat dagiti dilada a kas kadagiti uleg; adda kadagiti bibigda ti gita ti karasaen. (Selah)
4 Guard me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked. Keep me safe from men of violence who scheme to make me stumble.
Salaknibannak, O Yahweh, kadagiti ima dagiti nadangkes; saluadannak kadagiti naranggas a tattao a mangpangpanggep a mangdangran kaniak.
5 The proud hide a snare for me; the cords of their net are spread along the path, and lures are set out for me.
Nangiwayat dagiti natangsit a tattao iti pakaipalab-ogak; nangiwarasda iti iket; nangiwayatda iti pakasiloak. (Selah)
6 I say to the LORD, “You are my God.” Hear, O LORD, my cry for help.
Kinunak kenni Yahweh, “Sika ti Diosko; dumngegka kadagiti panagdawdawatko iti asi.”
7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, You shield 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 LORD, the desires of the wicked; do not promote their evil plans, lest they be exalted.
O Yahweh, saanmo a patgan dagiti tarigagay dagiti nadangkes; saanmo nga itulok nga agballigi dagiti panggepda. (Selah)
9 May the heads of those who surround me be covered in the trouble their lips have caused.
Natangsit dagiti nakapalawlaw kaniak; bay-am a ti kinadakes dagiti bibigda ti mangdadael kadakuada.
10 May burning coals fall on them; may they be thrown into the fire, into the miry pits, never to rise again.
Bay-am a matnag dagiti beggang kadakuada; ipurwakmo ida iti apuy, kadagiti mangliwengliweng nga abut, a saanda pulos a makaruk-at.
11 May no slanderer be established in the land; may calamity hunt down the man of violence.
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 the LORD upholds justice for the poor and defends the cause of the needy.
Ammok nga ikaluya ni Yahweh dagiti mairurrurumen, ken ikalinteganna dagiti agkasapulan.
13 Surely the righteous will praise Your name; the upright will dwell in Your presence.
Awan duadua a pagyamanan dagiti nalinteg a tattao ti naganmo; agnaed dagiti nalinteg a tattao iti presensiam.
