Psalms 140

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	Peshitta
1 A Psalm of David. O Lord, I have cried out to you, hear me. Attend to my voice, when I cry out to you.
2 Let my prayer be guided like incense in your sight: the lifting up of my hands, like the evening sacrifice.	2 ܦܨܢܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܢ ܒܪ ܐܢܫܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܘܡܢ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܥܘ̈ܠܐ ܢܛܪܝܢܝ
3 O Lord, station a guard over my mouth and a door enclosing my lips.	3 ܕܐܬܚܫܒܘ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܒܠܒܗܘܢ ܘܟܠܗ ܝܘܡܐ ܓܪܓܘ ܗܪܬܐ
4 Do not turn aside my heart to words of malice, to making excuses for sins, with men who work iniquity; and I will not communicate, even with the best of them.	4 ܕܠܛܫܘ ܠܫܢܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܚܘܝܐ ܘܚܡܬܐ ܕܐܣܦܣ ܬܚܝܬ ܠܫܢܗܘܢ
5 The just one will correct me with mercy, and he will rebuke me. But do not allow the oil of the sinner to fatten my head. For my prayer will still be toward their good will.	5 ܢܛܪܝܢܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܥܘ̈ܠܐ ܘܡܢ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܚ̈ܛܘܦܐ ܢܛܪܝܢܝ ܕܐܬܚܫܒܘ ܠܡܕܚܐ ܗ̈ܠܟܬܝ
6 Their judges have been engulfed, joined to the rocks. They will hear my words, which have prevailed,	6 ܘܛܡܪܘ ܠܝ ܫܒܗܪ̈ܢܐ ܦܚ̈ܐ ܘܚ̈ܒܠܐ ܕܡܨܝ̈ܕܬܗܘܢ ܦܪܣܘ ܥܠ ܫܒ̈ܝܠܝ ܘܡܨܝܕܬܐ ܫܕܘ ܥܠܝ
7 as when the lava of the earth has erupted above ground. Our bones have been scattered beside Hell.	7 ܐܡܪܬ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܕܐܠܗܝ ܐܢܬ ܨܘܬ ܠܩܠܐ ܕܒܥܘܬܝ
8 For Lord, O Lord, my eyes look to you. In you, I have hoped. Do not take away my soul.	8 ܡܪܝܐ ܦܪܘܩܝ ܥܫܝܢܐ ܡܛܠܠܗ ܕܪܝܫܝ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܩܪܒܐ
9 Protect me from the snare that they have set up for me and from the scandals of those who work iniquity.	9 ܠܐ ܬܬܠ ܡܪܝܐ ܪܓܬܗ ܠܥܘܠܐ ܘܬܪܥܝܬܗ ܠܐ ܬܣܩ
10 The sinners will fall into his net. I am alone, until I pass over.	10 ܠܪܝܫܝ ܢܟܣܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܥܘܠܐ ܕܣ̈ܦܘܬܗܘܢ
	11 ܘܢܚ̈ܬܢ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܓܘܡܪ̈ܐ ܘܢܦܠܘܢ ܒܢܘܪܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܫܟܚܘܢ ܠܡܩܡ
	12 ܒܪܢܫܐ ܠܫܢܢܐ ܠܐ ܢܬܩܝܡ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܥܘܠܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܬܨܘܕܝܘܗܝ ܠܐܒܕܢܐ
	13 ܝܕܥܬ ܕܥܒܕ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܝܢܐ ܕܡܣ̈ܟܢܐ ܘܕܝܢܐ ܕܒܝܫ̈ܐ
