| To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. | Save me O Lord from Evil Men. Psalm 140(v139) | לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמֹור לְדָוִד׃ | |
| 140 1 | Deliver me, O Yahweh, from evil men; preserve me from violent men, | חַלְּצֵנִי יְהוָה מֵאָדָם רָע מֵאִישׁ חֲמָסִים תִּנְצְרֵנִי׃ | |
| 2 | who plan evil things in their heart, and stir up wars continually. | אֲשֶׁר חָשְׁבוּ רָעֹות בְּלֵב כָּל־יֹום יָגוּרוּ מִלְחָמֹות׃ | |
| 3 | They make their tongue sharp as a serpent's, and under their lips is the poison of vipers. Selah | שָׁנֲנוּ לְשֹׁונָם כְּמֹו־נָחָשׁ חֲמַת עַכְשׁוּב תַּחַת שְׂפָתֵימֹו סֶלָה׃ | |
| 4 | Guard me, O Yahweh, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from violent men, who have planned to trip up my feet. | שָׁמְרֵנִי יְהוָה מִידֵי רָשָׁע מֵאִישׁ חֲמָסִים תִּנְצְרֵנִי אֲשֶׁר חָשְׁבוּ לִדְחֹות פְּעָמָי׃ | |
| 5 | Arrogant men have hidden a trap for me, and with cords they have spread a net, by the wayside they have set snares for me. Selah | טָמְנוּ־גֵאִים פַּח לִי וַחֲבָלִים פָּרְשׂוּ רֶשֶׁת לְיַד־מַעְגָּל מֹקְשִׁים שָׁתוּ־לִי סֶלָה׃ | |
| 6 | I say to Yahweh, You are my God; give ear to the voice of my supplications, O Yahweh! | אָמַרְתִּי לַיהוָה אֵלִי אָתָּה הַאֲזִינָה יְהוָה קֹול תַּחֲנוּנָי׃ | |
| 7 | O Yahweh, my Yahweh, my strong deliverer, you have covered my head in the day of battle. | יְהֹוִה אֲדֹנָי עֹז יְשׁוּעָתִי סַכֹּתָה לְרֹאשִׁי בְּיֹום נָשֶׁק׃ | |
| 8 | Grant not, O Yahweh, the desires of the wicked; do not further his evil plot! Selah | אַל־תִּתֵּן יְהוָה מַאֲוַיֵּי רָשָׁע זְמָמֹו אַל־תָּפֵק יָרוּמוּ סֶלָה׃ | |
| 9 | Those who surround me lift up their head, let the mischief of their lips overwhelm them! | רֹאשׁ מְסִבָּי עֲמַל שְׂפָתֵימֹו כ= יְכַסּוּמֹו ק= יְכַסֵּמֹו׃ | |
| 10 | Let burning coals fall upon them! Let them be cast into pits, no more to rise! | כ= יָמִיטוּ ק= יִמֹּוטוּ עֲלֵיהֶם גֶּחָלִים בָּאֵשׁ יַפִּלֵם בְּמַהֲמֹרֹות בַּל־יָקוּמוּ׃ | |
| 11 | Let not the slanderer be established in the land; let evil hunt down the violent man speedily! | אִישׁ לָשֹׁון בַּל־יִכֹּון בָּאָרֶץ אִישׁ־חָמָס רָע יְצוּדֶנּוּ לְמַדְחֵפֹת׃ | |
| 12 | I know that Yahweh maintains the cause of the afflicted, and executes justice for the needy. | כ= יָדַעְתָּ ק= יָדַעְתִּי כִּי־יַעֲשֶׂה יְהוָה דִּין עָנִי מִשְׁפַּט אֶבְיֹנִים׃ | |
| 13 | Surely the righteous shall give thanks to your name; the upright shall dwell in your presence. | אַךְ צַדִּיקִים יֹודוּ לִשְׁמֶךָ יֵשְׁבוּ יְשָׁרִים אֶת־פָּנֶיךָ׃ | |
