Psalms 140
1 To the leader. A Psalm of David. Rescue me, Lord, from evil people; from the violent guard me
Pou direktè koral la; Yon Sòm David Delivre m, O SENYÈ, de moun mechan yo. Delivre m de moun vyolan yo:
2 from those who plot evil in their heart, and stir up war continually:
ka p fè manèv mechan nan kè yo. Tout tan, y ap fè pwovokasyon pou fè lagè.
3 who make their tongue as sharp as a serpent’s, and under whose lips is the poison of adders. (Selah)
Yo file lang yo tankou koulèv. Pwazon a sèpan mòtèl la anba lèv yo. Tan
4 Preserve me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked, from the violent guard me from those who are plotting to trip up my feet.
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 hidden a trap for me, cords they have spread as a net for my feet: snares they have set at the side of my track. (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 to the Lord, ‘My God are you; attend, Lord, to my loud plea.
Mwen te di a SENYÈ a: “Se Ou ki Bondye mwen.” Bay zòrèy, O SENYÈ, a vwa a siplikasyon mwen yo.
7 O Lord my Lord, my saviour mighty, you did cover 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; and what they have purposed, promote you not.’ (Selah)
Pa akonpli, O SENYÈ, dezi a mechan an. Pa pèmèt manèv mechan li yo, pou l pa vin leve wo. Tan
9 Let them not lift up their heads against me. May the mischief they prate bring themselves to destruction,
Epi pou chèf an tèt a (sila) ki antoure mwen yo, pou malveyans a pwòp lèv yo kapab vin kouvri yo.
10 may he rain upon them coals of fire, may he strike them down swiftly, to rise no more,
Kite chabon tou limen vin tonbe sou yo. Kite yo jete nan dife, nan fòs fon kote yo p ap kab leve sòti.
11 no place in the land may there be for the slanderer: may the violent be hunted from sorrow to sorrow.
(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 do right by the weak, and will execute justice for those who are needy.
Mwen konnen ke SENYÈ a va bay soutyen a aflije yo, e fè jistis pou malere a.
13 Surely the righteous shall praise your name, and they who are upright shall live in your presence.
Anverite, moun dwat yo va bay remèsiman a non Ou. Epi moun dwat yo va abite nan prezans Ou.
