Psalms 140

1 To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. Rescue me, O Yahweh, from the men of mischief, From the men of violence, wilt thou preserve me:

[Psalm lal David] LEUM GOD, moliyula liki mwet koluk; Langoeyula liki mwet sulallal.

2 Who have devised mischiefs in their [heart], Every day, do they stir up wars:

Pacl nukewa elos pwapa in oru ma koluk; Elos purakak akukuin in pacl e nukewa.

3 They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent, —The poison of the asp, is under their lips. (Selah)

Lohulos oana serpent sulallal; Kas lalos oana pwasin ke wet cobra.

4 Keep me, O Yahweh, from the hands of the lawless one, From the man of violence, wilt thou preserve me, —who have devised, to thrust at my steps:

LEUM GOD, moliyula liki ku lun mwet koluk; Langoeyula liki mwet sulallal Su kena tuh nga in ikori.

5 The proud have hidden a snare for me, and, cords, have they spread as a net beside the track, Snares, have they set for me. (Selah)

Mwet filang elos kena sruokyuwi; Elos oakiya mwe kwasrip lalos, Ac filiya sruhf pe inkanek uh in sruokyu.

6 I have said unto Yahweh, My GOD, thou art! Give ear, O Yahweh, unto the voice of my supplications.

Nga fahk nu sin LEUM GOD, “Kom God luk.” LEUM GOD, porongeyu ke nga pang in suk kasru sum!

7 O Yahweh, My Lord, my saving strength, thou hast screened my head in the day of battle.

LEUM GOD Fulatlana luk, ke ku lom Kom langoeyula in pacl in mweun.

8 Do not grant, O Yahweh, the desires of the lawless one, his device, do not promote, They would exalt themselves. (Selah)

LEUM GOD, nikmet sang nu sin mwet koluk ma lungse lalos; Nikmet akfahsrye pwapa koluk lalos.

9 As for the head of them who surround me, Let the mischief of their lips cover them:

Nikmet sang kutangla nu sin mwet lokoalok luk, Lela tuh ma koluk elos akoo nu sik in folokyang nu faclos.

10 May there be dropped on them live coals, —Into the fire, may they be let fall, into watery pits [from which] they shall not rise.

Lela tuh mulut firir in putati faclos; Lela in sisila elos nu in luf loal ma elos tia ku in sifil illa liki.

11 As for the slanderer, let him not be established in the earth, —As for the man of wrongful violence, let misfortune hunt him with thrust upon thrust.

Lela mwet su kinauk kas sutuu ke mwet saya in tia akilenyuk, A ma koluk in ukweya na mwet sulallal ac kunauselosla.

12 I know that Yahweh will execute, the right of the oppressed one, the vindication of the needy.

LEUM GOD, nga etu lah kom loango sripa lun mwet sukasrup Ac orala nununku suwohs nu sin mwet enenu.

13 Surely, the righteous, shall give thanks to thy Name, the upright shall dwell in thy presence.

Pwayena lah mwet suwoswos elos fah kaksakin kom. Elos fah muta ye motom.
