Psalms 140
1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. Deliver me, O YHWH, from an evil man, Keep me from one of violence.
Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Jehovah ô, vonjeo amin’ ny olon-dratsy aho, Ary arovy amin’ ny olon-dozabe,
2 Who have devised evils in the heart, All the day they assemble [for] wars.
Izay mihevitra ratsy ao am-pony Ka manangana ady isan’ andro
3 They sharpened their tongue as a serpent, Poison of a viper [is] under their lips. (Selah)
Mandranitra ny lelany tahaka ny bibilava izy, Ny poizin’ ny menarana no ao ambanin’ ny molony. (Sela)
4 Preserve me, YHWH, from the hands of the wicked, Keep me from one of violence, Who have devised to overthrow my steps.
Jehovah ô, vonjeo amin’ ny tanan’ ny ratsy fanahy aho, Ary arovy amin’ ny olon-dozabe, Izay efa nihevitra handronjina ahy ho potraka.
5 The proud hid a snare for me—and cords, They spread a net by the side of the path, They have set snares for me. (Selah)
Ny mpiavonavona efa nanafina fandrika sy kofehy hamandrihany ahy; Efa namela-pandrika harato teo amoron-dalana izy; Nametraka tadivavarana hahazoany ahy izy.
6 I have said to YHWH, “You [are] my God, Hear, YHWH, the voice of my supplications.”
Hoy izaho tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitro Hianao; Henoy ny feon’ ny fifonako, Jehovah ô!
7 O YHWH, my Lord, strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of armor.
Jehovah, Tompo ô, ry Herin’ ny famonjena ahy, Manarona ny lohako amin’ ny andro fiadiana Hianao.
8 Do not grant, O YHWH, the desires of the wicked, Do not bring forth his wicked scheme, They are high. (Selah)
Jehovah ô, aza manome ny irin’ ny ratsy fanahy; Ary aza avela ho tanteraka ny hevi-dratsiny, fandrao hisandratra izy. (Sela)
9 The chief of my surrounders, The perverseness of their lips covers them.
Ny lohan’ izay manemitra ahy Dia aoka hosaronan’ ny ratsy tononin’ ny molony.
10 They cause burning coals to fall on themselves, He casts them into fire, Into deep pits—they do not arise.
Aoka hisy vain’ afo halatsaka aminy; Aoka hariana any anaty afo izy, na any amin’ ny rano lalina, ka tsy hiarina intsony.
11 A talkative man is not established in the earth, One of violence—evil hunts to overflowing.
Tsy hampitoerina amin’ ny tany ny olo-mahay vava; Henjehin-doza ny olon-dozabe ka ho lavo.
12 I have known that YHWH executes The judgment of the afflicted, The judgment of the needy.
Fantatro fa Jehovah no handahatra ny tenin’ ny mahantra Sady hanome rariny ho an’ ny malahelo.
13 Surely the righteous give thanks to Your Name, The upright dwell with Your presence!
Eny tokoa, ny marina hisaotra ny anaranao; Hitoetra eo anatrehanao ny mahitsy.
