Psalms 140
1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man; preserve me from the violent man;
Pou direktè koral la; Yon Sòm David Delivre m, O SENYÈ, de moun mechan yo. Delivre m de moun vyolan yo:
2 Who devise evil things in their heart; every day do they stir up wars.
ka p fè manèv mechan nan kè yo. Tout tan, y ap fè pwovokasyon pou fè lagè.
3 They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent; vipers' venom is under their lips. (Selah)
Yo file lang yo tankou koulèv. Pwazon a sèpan mòtèl la anba lèv yo. Tan
4 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to make my steps slip.
Kenbe m, O SENYÈ, de men moun mechan yo. Pwoteje m de moun vyolan ki te fè plan pou pye m yo ta tonbe yo.
5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. (Selah)
Ògeye yo fin ranje yon pèlen pou mwen. Avèk kòd, yo te ouvri yon pèlen bò wout la. Yo fin plase yon pyèj pou mwen. Tan
6 I have said unto the LORD: 'Thou art my God'; give ear, O LORD, unto the voice of my supplications.
Mwen te di a SENYÈ a: “Se Ou ki Bondye mwen.” Bay zòrèy, O SENYÈ, a vwa a siplikasyon mwen yo.
7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, who hast screened my head in the day of battle,
O BONDYE Senyè a, fòs a sali mwen an, Ou te kouvri tèt mwen nan jou batay la.
8 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; further not his evil device, so that they exalt themselves. (Selah)
Pa akonpli, O SENYÈ, dezi a mechan an. Pa pèmèt manèv mechan li yo, pou l pa vin leve wo. Tan
9 As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
Epi pou chèf an tèt a (sila) ki antoure mwen yo, pou malveyans a pwòp lèv yo kapab vin kouvri yo.
10 Let burning coals fall upon them; let them be cast into the fire, into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
Kite chabon tou limen vin tonbe sou yo. Kite yo jete nan dife, nan fòs fon kote yo p ap kab leve sòti.
11 A slanderer shall not be established in the earth; the violent and evil man shall be hunted with thrust upon thrust.
(Sila) ki bay kout lang yo pap vin etabli sou latè. Mal la va kouri vit dèyè moun vyolans lan.
12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the poor, and the right of the needy.
Mwen konnen ke SENYÈ a va bay soutyen a aflije yo, e fè jistis pou malere a.
13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto Thy name; the upright shall dwell in Thy presence.
Anverite, moun dwat yo va bay remèsiman a non Ou. Epi moun dwat yo va abite nan prezans Ou.
