To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man; (MT 140:2; LXX 139:1; LXX 139:2; Rahlfs 139:1; Rahlfs 139:2)
לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד׃
2Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war. (MT 140:3; LXX 139:3; Rahlfs 139:3)
חַלְּצֵ֣נִי יְ֭הוָה מֵאָדָ֣ם רָ֑ע מֵאִ֖ישׁ חֲמָסִ֣ים תִּנְצְרֵֽנִי׃
3They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’ poison is under their lips. Selah. (MT 140:4; LXX 139:4; Rahlfs 139:4)
אֲשֶׁ֤ר חָשְׁב֣וּ רָע֣וֹת בְּלֵ֑ב כָּל־י֝֗וֹם יָג֥וּרוּ מִלְחָמֽוֹת׃
4Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings. (MT 140:5; LXX 139:5; Rahlfs 139:5)
שָֽׁנֲנ֣וּ לְשׁוֹנָם֮ כְּֽמוֹ־נָ֫חָ֥שׁ חֲמַ֥ת עַכְשׁ֑וּב תַּ֖חַת שְׂפָתֵ֣ימוֹ סֶֽלָה׃
5The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah. (MT 140:6; LXX 139:6; Rahlfs 139:6)
שָׁמְרֵ֤נִי יְהוָ֨ה ׀ מִ֘ידֵ֤י רָשָׁ֗ע מֵאִ֣ישׁ חֲמָסִ֣ים תִּנְצְרֵ֑נִי אֲשֶׁ֥ר חָ֝שְׁב֗וּ לִדְח֥וֹת פְּעָמָֽי׃
6I said unto the Lord, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O Lord. (MT 140:7; LXX 139:7; Rahlfs 139:7)
טָֽמְנֽוּ־גֵאִ֨ים ׀ פַּ֡ח לִ֗י וַחֲבָלִ֗ים פָּ֣רְשׂוּ רֶ֭שֶׁת לְיַד־מַעְגָּ֑ל מֹקְשִׁ֖ים שָֽׁתוּ־לִ֣י סֶֽלָה׃
7O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle. (MT 140:8; LXX 139:8; Rahlfs 139:8)
אָמַ֣רְתִּי לַ֭יהוָה אֵ֣לִי אָ֑תָּה הַאֲזִ֥ינָה יְ֝הוָ֗ה ק֣וֹל תַּחֲנוּנָֽי׃
8Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah. (MT 140:9; LXX 139:9; Rahlfs 139:9)
יְהֹוִ֣ה אֲ֭דֹנָי עֹ֣ז יְשׁוּעָתִ֑י סַכֹּ֥תָה לְ֝רֹאשִׁ֗י בְּי֣וֹם נָֽשֶׁק׃
9As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them. (MT 140:10; LXX 139:10; Rahlfs 139:10)
אַל־תִּתֵּ֣ן יְ֭הוָה מַאֲוַיֵּ֣י רָשָׁ֑ע זְמָמ֥וֹ אַל־תָּ֝פֵ֗ק יָר֥וּמוּ סֶֽלָה׃
10Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again. (MT 140:11; LXX 139:11; Rahlfs 139:11)
רֹ֥אשׁ מְסִבָּ֑י עֲמַ֖ל שְׂפָתֵ֣ימוֹ יכסומו׃
11Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him. (MT 140:12; LXX 139:12; Rahlfs 139:12)
ימיטו עֲלֵיהֶ֗ם גֶּֽחָ֫לִ֥ים בָּאֵ֥שׁ יַפִּלֵ֑ם בְּ֝מַהֲמֹר֗וֹת בַּֽל־יָקֽוּמוּ׃
12I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor. (MT 140:13; LXX 139:13; Rahlfs 139:13)
אִ֥ישׁ לָשׁוֹן֮ בַּל־יִכּ֪וֹן בָּ֫אָ֥רֶץ אִישׁ־חָמָ֥ס רָ֑ע יְ֝צוּדֶ֗נּוּ לְמַדְחֵפֹֽת׃
13Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence. (MT 140:14; LXX 139:14; Rahlfs 139:14)
ידעת כִּֽי־יַעֲשֶׂ֣ה יְ֭הוָה דִּ֣ין עָנִ֑י מִ֝שְׁפַּ֗ט אֶבְיֹנִֽים׃
