Psalms 140
1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David. Yahweh, rescue me from the wicked; preserve me from violent men.
Pou direktè koral la; Yon Sòm David Delivre m, O SENYÈ, de moun mechan yo. Delivre m de moun vyolan yo:
2 They plan evil in their hearts; they cause battles every day.
ka p fè manèv mechan nan kè yo. Tout tan, y ap fè pwovokasyon pou fè lagè.
3 Their tongues wound like serpents; vipers' poison is on their lips. (Selah)
Yo file lang yo tankou koulèv. Pwazon a sèpan mòtèl la anba lèv yo. Tan
4 Keep me from the hands of the wicked, Yahweh; preserve me from violent men who plan to knock me over.
Kenbe m, O SENYÈ, de men moun mechan yo. Pwoteje m de moun vyolan ki te fè plan pou pye m yo ta tonbe yo.
5 The proud have set a trap for me; they have spread a net; they have set a snare for me. (Selah)
Ògeye yo fin ranje yon pèlen pou mwen. Avèk kòd, yo te ouvri yon pèlen bò wout la. Yo fin plase yon pyèj pou mwen. Tan
6 I said to Yahweh, “You are my God; listen to my cries for mercy.”
Mwen te di a SENYÈ a: “Se Ou ki Bondye mwen.” Bay zòrèy, O SENYÈ, a vwa a siplikasyon mwen yo.
7 Yahweh, my Lord, you are powerfully able to save me; you shield my head in the day of battle.
O BONDYE Senyè a, fòs a sali mwen an, Ou te kouvri tèt mwen nan jou batay la.
8 Yahweh, do not grant the desires of the wicked; do not let their plots succeed. (Selah)
Pa akonpli, O SENYÈ, dezi a mechan an. Pa pèmèt manèv mechan li yo, pou l pa vin leve wo. Tan
9 Those who surround me raise their heads; let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
Epi pou chèf an tèt a (sila) ki antoure mwen yo, pou malveyans a pwòp lèv yo kapab vin kouvri yo.
10 Let burning coals fall on them; throw them into the fire, into bottomless pits, never more to rise.
Kite chabon tou limen vin tonbe sou yo. Kite yo jete nan dife, nan fòs fon kote yo p ap kab leve sòti.
11 May men of tongues not be made secure on the earth; may evil hunt down the violent man to strike him dead.
(Sila) ki bay kout lang yo pap vin etabli sou latè. Mal la va kouri vit dèyè moun vyolans lan.
12 I know that Yahweh will judge in favor of the afflicted, and that he will give justice to the needy.
Mwen konnen ke SENYÈ a va bay soutyen a aflije yo, e fè jistis pou malere a.
13 Surely the righteous people will give thanks to your name; the upright people will live in your presence.
Anverite, moun dwat yo va bay remèsiman a non Ou. Epi moun dwat yo va abite nan prezans Ou.
