Psalms 140

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. Rescue me, O Lord, from the evil man; deliver me from the unjust man.

Ispalennak, O Yahweh, kadagiti nadangkes; salaknibannak kadagiti naranggas a tattao.

2 Who have devised injustice in their hearts; all the day they prepared war.

Mangpangpanggepda iti dakes kadagiti pusoda; inaldaw a mangirugrugida iti riri.

3 They have sharpened their tongue as [the tongue] of a serpent; the poison of asps is under their lips. (Pause)

Makasugat dagiti dilada a kas kadagiti uleg; adda kadagiti bibigda ti gita ti karasaen. (Selah)

4 Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the sinner; rescue me from unjust men; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.

Salaknibannak, O Yahweh, kadagiti ima dagiti nadangkes; saluadannak kadagiti naranggas a tattao a mangpangpanggep a mangdangran kaniak.

5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and have stretched out ropes [for] snares for my feet; they set a stumbling block for me near the path. (Pause)

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, O Lord, to the voice of my supplication.

Kinunak kenni Yahweh, “Sika ti Diosko; dumngegka kadagiti panagdawdawatko iti asi.”

7 O Lord God, the strength of my salvation; you have screened my head in the day of battle.

O Yahweh nga Apok, napigsaka a mangispal; salsalaknibam ti ulok iti aldaw ti gubat.

8 Deliver me not, O Lord, to the sinner, according to my desire: they have devised [mischief] against me; forsake me not, lest they should be exalted. (Pause)

O Yahweh, saanmo a patgan dagiti tarigagay dagiti nadangkes; saanmo nga itulok nga agballigi dagiti panggepda. (Selah)

9 [As for] the head of them that compass me, the mischief of their lips shall cover them.

Natangsit dagiti nakapalawlaw kaniak; bay-am a ti kinadakes dagiti bibigda ti mangdadael kadakuada.

10 Coals of fire shall fall upon them on the earth; and you shall cast them down in afflictions: they shall not bear up [under them].

Bay-am a matnag dagiti beggang kadakuada; ipurwakmo ida iti apuy, kadagiti mangliwengliweng nga abut, a saanda pulos a makaruk-at.

11 A talkative man shall not prosper on the earth: evils shall hunt the unrighteous man to destruction.

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 poor, and the right of the needy ones.

Ammok nga ikaluya ni Yahweh dagiti mairurrurumen, ken ikalinteganna dagiti agkasapulan.

13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks to your name: the upright shall dwell in your presence.

Awan duadua a pagyamanan dagiti nalinteg a tattao ti naganmo; agnaed dagiti nalinteg a tattao iti presensiam.
