Psalms 140
1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man; preserve me from the violent man;
Ho a i Talè, Sabo’ i Davide. Avotsoro am’ ondaty lo-tserekeo iraho, ry Iehovà; arovo am’ondaty piaroteñeo;
2 Who devise evil things in their heart; every day do they stir up wars.
o mikilily añ’arofo’e ao naho mikitrok’aly lomoñandroo.
3 They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent; vipers' venom is under their lips. (Selah)
Nisioñe’ iereo ty famele’ iareo hoe mereñe; an-tsoñi’iareo ty vorem-pandrefeala. Selà
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.
Arovo tsy ho am-pità’ o lo-tserekeo iraho ry Iehovà; arovo amy ‘ndaty mitrotrofiakey, ty mikinia hampidorasitse o liakoo.
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)
Nañetake fandrike ho ahy o mpikavokavokeo; naho taly; naho namelara’ iareo harato añ’olon-dalañeo vaho nampibitsoke fandri-boñe amako. Selà
6 I have said unto the LORD: 'Thou art my God'; give ear, O LORD, unto the voice of my supplications.
Hoe iraho am’ Iehovà, Ihe ro Andrianañahareko. Janjiño, ry Iehovà, o feon-kalalikoo.
7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, who hast screened my head in the day of battle,
Ry Iehovà Talè, faozaram-pandrombahañe ahiko, Mpanaroñe ty lohako añ-andron-kotakotake.
8 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; further not his evil device, so that they exalt themselves. (Selah)
Ko toiñe’o, ry Iehovà, ty fisalalà’ o tsy vokatseo, ko osihe’o ty fikililia’iareo tsy mone hirohake. Selà
9 As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
Le ty loha’ o miarikoboñ’ ahikoo: ho rongoñeñe ty fikotrihan-tsoñi’iareo,
10 Let burning coals fall upon them; let them be cast into the fire, into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
naho hararadrarak’ am’ iereo ty foroha mirekake; vaho havokovoko añ’afo an-koboñe ao, tsy hitroatse ka.
11 A slanderer shall not be established in the earth; the violent and evil man shall be hunted with thrust upon thrust.
Tsy hitoera’ ty mpikatramo ty tane toy; ho vandroñen-doza ondaty mpiloa-tiñakeo.
12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the poor, and the right of the needy.
Fantako te mpanozañe o misotrio t’Iehovà, naho ty zo’ o rarakeo.
13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto Thy name; the upright shall dwell in Thy presence.
Toe mañandriañe ty tahina’o o vantañeo, vaho himoneñe añatrefa’o eo o vañoñeo.
