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.
Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon sòm David. Seyè, delivre m' anba mechan yo non! Pwoteje m' anba ansasen yo non,
2 [those] who They plan evil things in [the] heart every day they stir up trouble wars.
anba moun k'ap kalkile move lide nan tèt yo, ki tout tan ap pouse dife.
3 They sharpen tongue their like a snake [the] venom of a viper [is] under lips their (Selah)
Lang yo se razwa. Pawòl nan bouch yo se pwazon, ou ta di venen sèpan aspik.
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.
Seyè, pa kite m' tonbe anba men mechan yo, pwoteje m' anba ansasen yo k'ap chache jan pou yo fè m' tonbe.
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)
Awogan yo pare yon pèlen pou mwen, yo tann pèlen kòd pou mwen, yo mete moun veye m' sou tout chemen mwen.
6 I say to Yahweh [are] God my you give ear to! O Yahweh [the] sound of supplications my.
Mwen di Seyè a: -Se ou ki Bondye mwen. Koute m' non, Seyè, lè m'ap rele nan pye ou.
7 O Yahweh O Lord [the] strength of salvation my you cover head my in a day of weaponry.
Seyè, Bondye mwen, ou se fòs ki pou sove m' lan. W'ap pwoteje m' lè batay la mare.
8 May not you grant O Yahweh [the] desires of [the] wicked plot his may not you promote they will arise (Selah)
Seyè, pa kite mechan yo fè sa yo gen lide fè a! Pa kite sa yo vle fè a rive!
9 [the] head of Surroundings my [the] mischief of lips their (may it cover them. *Q(K)*)
Pa kite moun ki pa vle wè m' yo dominen sou mwen. Se pou mechanste ki nan bouch yo a tonbe sou yo!
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.
Se pou Bondye grennen chabon dife sou yo tankou lapli. Se pou l' fè yo tonbe nan gwo twou byen fon kote yo p'ap janm ka leve sòti.
11 A person of tongue not let him be established in the land a person of violence trouble let it hunt him for blows.
Se pou moun k'ap pale moun mal yo pèdi pye nan peyi a. Se pou malè tonbe sou ansasen yo pou l' touye yo.
12 (I know *Q(k)*) that he will do Yahweh [the] cause of [the] poor [the] justice of needy [people].
Mwen konnen Seyè a va fè pòv yo jistis. L'a defann kòz moun ki san sekou yo.
13 Surely righteous [people] they will give thanks to name your they will dwell upright [people] with presence your.
Wi, moun k'ap mache dwat yo va fè lwanj li. Moun ki obeyi l' yo va toujou viv devan l'.
