Psalms 140
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Deliver me, LORD, from evil men. Preserve me from violent men:
Ispalennak, O Yahweh, kadagiti nadangkes; salaknibannak kadagiti naranggas a tattao.
2 those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war.
Mangpangpanggepda iti dakes kadagiti pusoda; inaldaw a mangirugrugida iti riri.
3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper’s poison is under their lips. (Selah)
Makasugat dagiti dilada a kas kadagiti uleg; adda kadagiti bibigda ti gita ti karasaen. (Selah)
4 LORD, keep me from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my feet.
Salaknibannak, O Yahweh, kadagiti ima dagiti nadangkes; saluadannak kadagiti naranggas a tattao a mangpangpanggep a mangdangran kaniak.
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)
Nangiwayat dagiti natangsit a tattao iti pakaipalab-ogak; nangiwarasda iti iket; nangiwayatda iti pakasiloak. (Selah)
6 I said to the LORD, “You are my God.” Listen to the cry of my petitions, LORD.
Kinunak kenni Yahweh, “Sika ti Diosko; dumngegka kadagiti panagdawdawatko iti asi.”
7 LORD, the Lord, the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle.
O Yahweh nga Apok, napigsaka a mangispal; salsalaknibam ti ulok iti aldaw ti gubat.
8 LORD, do not grant the desires of the wicked. Do not let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud. (Selah)
O Yahweh, saanmo a patgan dagiti tarigagay dagiti nadangkes; saanmo nga itulok nga agballigi dagiti panggepda. (Selah)
9 As for the head of those who surround me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
Natangsit dagiti nakapalawlaw kaniak; bay-am a ti kinadakes dagiti bibigda ti mangdadael kadakuada.
10 Let burning coals fall on them. Let them be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, from where they never rise.
Bay-am a matnag dagiti beggang kadakuada; ipurwakmo ida iti apuy, kadagiti mangliwengliweng nga abut, a saanda pulos a makaruk-at.
11 An evil speaker will not be established in the earth. Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
Saan koma a mapatalged ditoy lubong ti siasinoman a mangibagbaga kadagiti dakes a banbanag kadagiti sabali; anupen koma iti kinadakes ti naranggas a tao tapno dadaelenna isuna.
12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for the needy.
Ammok nga ikaluya ni Yahweh dagiti mairurrurumen, ken ikalinteganna dagiti agkasapulan.
13 Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name. The upright will dwell in your presence.
Awan duadua a pagyamanan dagiti nalinteg a tattao ti naganmo; agnaed dagiti nalinteg a tattao iti presensiam.
