Psalms 140
1 To the choirmaster a psalm of David. Rescue me O Yahweh from a man evil from a man of violence you will preserve me.
(Til Sangmesteren. En Salme af David.) Red mig, HERRE, fra onde Mennesker, vær mig et Værn mod Voldsmænd,
2 [those] who They plan evil things in [the] heart every day they stir up trouble wars.
der pønser på ondt i Hjertet og daglig ægger til Strid.
3 They sharpen tongue their like a snake [the] venom of a viper [is] under lips their (Selah)
De hvæsser Tungen som Slanger, har Øglegift under deres Læber. (Sela)
4 Keep me O Yahweh - from [the] hands of [the] wicked from a man of violence you will preserve me [those] who they have planned to trip up footsteps my.
Vogt mig, HERRE, for gudløses Hånd, vær mig et Værn mod Voldsmænd, som pønser på at bringe mig til Fald.
5 They have hidden proud [people] - a trap for me and ropes they have spread a net to [the] side of a track snares they have set for me (Selah)
Hovmodige lægger Snarer og Strikker for mig, breder et Net for min Fod, lægger Fælder for mig ved Vejen. (Sela)
6 I say to Yahweh [are] God my you give ear to! O Yahweh [the] sound of supplications my.
Jeg siger til HERREN: Du er min Gud, HERRE, lyt til min tryglende Røst!
7 O Yahweh O Lord [the] strength of salvation my you cover head my in a day of weaponry.
HERRE, Herre, min Frelses Styrke, du skærmer mit Hoved på Stridens Dag.
8 May not you grant O Yahweh [the] desires of [the] wicked plot his may not you promote they will arise (Selah)
Opfyld ej, HERRE, den gudløses Ønsker, lad ikke hans Råd have Fremgang!
9 [the] head of Surroundings my [the] mischief of lips their (may it cover them. *Q(K)*)
Lad dem ikke løfte Hovedet mod mig, lad deres Trusler ramme dem selv!
10 (May they be dropped *Q(K)*) on them burning coals in the fire let someone make fall them in pits [which] not they will arise.
Det regne på dem med gloende Kul, styrt dem i Dybet, ej stå de op!
11 A person of tongue not let him be established in the land a person of violence trouble let it hunt him for blows.
Lad ikke Bagtaleren holde sig i Landet, ondt ramme Voldsmanden Slag i Slag!
12 (I know *Q(k)*) that he will do Yahweh [the] cause of [the] poor [the] justice of needy [people].
Jeg ved, at HERREN vil føre de armes Sag og skaffe de fattige Ret.
13 Surely righteous [people] they will give thanks to name your they will dwell upright [people] with presence your.
For vist skal retfærdige prise dit Navn, oprigtige bo for dit Åsyn.
