Psalms 140
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Deliver me, LORD, from evil men. Preserve me from violent men:
Ho a i Talè, Sabo’ i Davide. Avotsoro am’ ondaty lo-tserekeo iraho, ry Iehovà; arovo am’ondaty piaroteñeo;
2 those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war.
o mikilily añ’arofo’e ao naho mikitrok’aly lomoñandroo.
3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper’s poison is under their lips. (Selah)
Nisioñe’ iereo ty famele’ iareo hoe mereñe; an-tsoñi’iareo ty vorem-pandrefeala. Selà
4 LORD, keep me from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my feet.
Arovo tsy ho am-pità’ o lo-tserekeo iraho ry Iehovà; arovo amy ‘ndaty mitrotrofiakey, ty mikinia hampidorasitse o liakoo.
5 The proud have hidden a snare for me, they have spread the cords of a net by the path. They have set traps 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 said to the LORD, “You are my God.” Listen to the cry of my petitions, LORD.
Hoe iraho am’ Iehovà, Ihe ro Andrianañahareko. Janjiño, ry Iehovà, o feon-kalalikoo.
7 LORD, the Lord, the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle.
Ry Iehovà Talè, faozaram-pandrombahañe ahiko, Mpanaroñe ty lohako añ-andron-kotakotake.
8 LORD, don’t grant the desires of the wicked. Don’t let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud. (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 who surround me, 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 on them. Let them be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, from where they never rise.
naho hararadrarak’ am’ iereo ty foroha mirekake; vaho havokovoko añ’afo an-koboñe ao, tsy hitroatse ka.
11 An evil speaker won’t be established in the earth. Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
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 afflicted, and justice for the needy.
Fantako te mpanozañe o misotrio t’Iehovà, naho ty zo’ o rarakeo.
13 Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name. The upright will dwell in your presence.
Toe mañandriañe ty tahina’o o vantañeo, vaho himoneñe añatrefa’o eo o vañoñeo.
