Salmos 140

La Bible Crampon 1923

1Au maître de chant. Psaume de David.

2Yahweh, délivre-moi de l'homme méchant, préserve-moi des hommes de violence,

3qui méditent de mauvais desseins dans leur cœur, qui excitent sans cesse la guerre contre moi,

4qui aiguisent leur langue comme le serpent, et qui ont sous leurs lèvres le venin de l'aspic. — Séla.

5Yahweh, garde-moi des mains du méchant, préserve-moi des hommes de violence, qui méditent de me faire trébucher.

6Des orgueilleux me dressent un piège et des filets, ils placent des rets le long de mon sentier, ils me tendent des embûches. — Séla.

7Je dis à Yahweh : Tu es mon Dieu ! Ecoute, Yahweh, la voix de mes supplications !

8Seigneur Yahweh, mon puissant sauveur, tu couvres ma tête au jour du combat.

9Yahweh, n'accomplis pas les désirs du méchant, ne laisse pas réussir ses desseins : il en serait trop fier ! — Séla.

10Que sur la tête de ceux qui m'assiègent retombe l'iniquité de leurs lèvres,

11que des charbons ardents soient secoués sur eux ! Que Dieu les précipite dans le feu, dans les abîmes d'où ils ne se relèvent plus !

12Non, le calomniateur ne prospérera pas sur la terre, et le malheur poursuivra sans merci l'homme violent.

13Je sais que Yahweh fait droit au misérable, et justice au pauvre.

14Oui, les justes célébreront ton nom, et les hommes droits habiteront devant ta face.

Reina-Valera 1909

1Al Músico principal: Salmo de David. LÍBRAME, oh Jehová, de hombre malo: guárdame de hombre violento;

2Los cuales maquinan males en el corazón, cada día urden contiendas.

3Aguzaron su lengua como la serpiente; veneno de áspid hay debajo de sus labios. (Selah.)

4Guárdame, oh Jehová, de manos del impío, presérvame del hombre injurioso; que han pensado de trastornar mis pasos.

5Hanme escondido lazo y cuerdas los soberbios; han tendido red junto á la senda; me han puesto lazos. (Selah.)

6He dicho á Jehová: Dios mío eres tú; escucha, oh Jehová, la voz de mis ruegos.

7Jehová Señor, fortaleza de mi salud, tú pusiste á cubierto mi cabeza el día de las armas.

8No des, oh Jehová, al impío sus deseos; no saques adelante su pensamiento, que no se ensoberbezca. (Selah.)

9En cuanto á los que por todas partes me rodean, la maldad de sus propios labios cubrirá su cabeza.

10Caerán sobre ellos brasas; Dios los hará caer en el fuego, en profundos hoyos de donde no salgan.

11El hombre deslenguado no será firme en la tierra: el mal cazará al hombre injusto para derribarle.

12Yo sé que hará Jehová el juicio del afligido, el juicio de los menesterosos.

13Ciertamente los justos alabarán tu nombre; los rectos morarán en tu presencia.

King James Version

1Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;

2Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.

3They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’ poison is under their lips. Selah.

4Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.

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.

6I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.

7O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.

8Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.

9As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

10Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.

11Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

12I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.

13Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.

1Deliver me, LORD, from evil men. Preserve me from violent men:

2those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war.

3They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper’s poison is under their lips. Selah.

4LORD, keep me from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my feet.

5The proud have hidden a snare for me, they have spread the cords of a net by the path. They have set traps for me. Selah.

6I said to the LORD, “You are my God.” Listen to the cry of my petitions, LORD.

7LORD, the Lord, the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle.

8LORD, don’t grant the desires of the wicked. Don’t let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud. Selah.

9As for the head of those who surround me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

10Let burning coals fall on them. Let them be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, from where they never rise.

11An evil speaker won’t be established in the earth. Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

12I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for the needy.

13Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name. The upright will dwell in your presence.
