Psalms 140

أَنْقِذْنِي يَا رَبُّ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّرِّ. مِنْ رَجُلِ الظُّلْمِ احْفَظْنِي.

Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;

الَّذِينَ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ بِشُرُورٍ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ. الْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ يَجْتَمِعُونَ لِلْقِتَالِ.

Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.

سَنُّوا أَلْسِنَتَهُمْ كَحَيَّةٍ. حُمَةُ الأُفْعُوَانِ تَحْتَ شِفَاهِهِمْ. سِلاَهْ.

They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.

احْفَظْنِي يَا رَبُّ مِنْ يَدَيِ الشِّرِّيرِ. مِنْ رَجُلِ الظُّلْمِ أَنْقِذْنِي. الَّذِينَ تَفَكَّرُوا فِي تَعْثِيرِ خُطُوَاتِي.

Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.

أَخْفَى لِي الْمُسْتَكْبِرُونَ فَخًّا وَحِبَالاً. مَدُّوا شَبَكَةً بِجَانِبِ الطَّرِيقِ. وَضَعُوا لِي أَشْرَاكًا. سِلاَهْ.

The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.

قُلْتُ لِلرَّبِّ: «أَنْتَ إِلهِي». أَصْغِ يَا رَبُّ إِلَى صَوْتِ تَضَرُّعَاتِي.

I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.

يَا رَبُّ السَّيِّدُ، قُوَّةَ خَلاَصِي، ظَلَّلْتَ رَأْسِي فِي يَوْمِ الْقِتَالِ.

O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.

لاَ تُعْطِ يَا رَبُّ شَهَوَاتِ الشِّرِّيرِ. لاَ تُنَجِّحْ مَقَاصِدَهُ. يَتَرَفَّعُونَ. سِلاَهْ.

Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.

أَمَّا رُؤُوسُ الْمُحِيطِينَ بِي فَشَقَاءُ شِفَاهِهِمْ يُغَطِّيهِمْ.

As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

لِيَسْقُطْ عَلَيْهِمْ جَمْرٌ. لِيُسْقَطُوا فِي النَّارِ، وَفِي غَمَرَاتٍ فَلاَ يَقُومُوا.

Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.

رَجُلُ لِسَانٍ لاَ يَثْبُتُ فِي الأَرْضِ. رَجُلُ الظُّلْمِ يَصِيدُهُ الشَّرُّ إِلَى هَلاَكِهِ.

Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ يُجْرِي حُكْمًا لِلْمَسَاكِينِ وَحَقًّا لِلْبَائِسِينَ.

I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.

إِنَّمَا الصِّدِّيقُونَ يَحْمَدُونَ اسْمَكَ. الْمُسْتَقِيمُونَ يَجْلِسُونَ فِي حَضْرَتِكَ.

Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
