Psalms 140

DOUAI-RHEIMS	MODERN HEBREW BIBLE
1 Lord, thou hast proved me, and known me:	1 למנצח מזמור לדוד חלצני יהוה מאדם רע מאיש חמסים תנצרני
2 thou hast know my sitting down, and my rising up.	2 אשר חשבו רעות בלב כל יום יגורו מלחמות
3 Thou hast understood my thoughts afar off: my path and my line thou hast searched out.	3 שננו לשונם כמו נחש חמת עכשוב תחת שפתימו סלה
4 And thou hast foreseen all my ways: for there is no speech in my tongue.	4 שמרני יהוה מידי רשע מאיש חמסים תנצרני אשר חשבו לדחות פעמי
5 Behold, O Lord, thou hast known all things, the last and those of old: thou hast formed me, and hast laid thy hand upon me.	5 טמנו גאים פח לי וחבלים פרשו רשת ליד מעגל מקשים שתו לי סלה
6 Thy knowledge is become wonderful to me: it is high, and I cannot reach to it.	6 אמרתי ליהוה אלי אתה האזינה יהוה קול תחנוני
7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy face?	7 יהוה אדני עז ישועתי סכתה לראשי ביום נשק
8 If I ascend into heaven, thou art there: if I descend into hell, thou art present.	8 אל תתן יהוה מאויי רשע זממו אל תפק ירומו סלה
9 If I take my wings early in the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea:	9 ראש מסבי עמל שפתימו יכסומו
10 Even there also shall thy hand lead me: and thy right hand shall hold me.	10 ימיטו עליהם גחלים באש יפלם במהמרות בל יקומו
11 And I said: Perhaps darkness shall cover me: and night shall be my light in my pleasures.	11 איש לשון בל יכון בארץ איש חמס רע יצודנו למדחפת
12 But darkness shall not be dark to thee, and night shall be light as day: the darkness thereof, and the light thereof are alike to thee.	12 ידעת כי יעשה יהוה דין עני משפט אבינים
13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast protected me from my mother's womb.	13 אך צדיקים יודו לשמך ישבו ישרים את פניך
14 I will praise thee, for thou art fearfully magnified: wonderful are thy works, and my soul knoweth right well.
15 My bone is not hidden from thee, which thou hast made in secret: and my substance in the lower parts of the earth.
16 Thy eyes did see my imperfect being, and in thy book all shall be written: days shall be formed, and no one in them.
17 But to me thy friends, O God, are made exceedingly honourable: their principality is exceedingly strengthened.
18 I will number them, and they shall be multiplied above the sand: I rose up and am still with thee.
19 If thou wilt kill the wicked, O God: ye men of blood, depart from me:
20 Because you say in thought: They shall receive thy cities in vain.
21 Have I not hated them, O Lord, that hated thee: and pine away because of thy enemies?
22 I have hated them with a perfect hatred: and they are become enemies to me.
23 Prove me, O God, and know my heart: examine me, and know my paths.
24 And see if there be in me the way of iniquity: and lead me in the eternal way.
