Psalms 140

KING JAMES BIBLE	Peshitta
1 Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
2 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.	2 ܦܨܢܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܢ ܒܪ ܐܢܫܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܘܡܢ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܥܘ̈ܠܐ ܢܛܪܝܢܝ
3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.	3 ܕܐܬܚܫܒܘ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܒܠܒܗܘܢ ܘܟܠܗ ܝܘܡܐ ܓܪܓܘ ܗܪܬܐ
4 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.	4 ܕܠܛܫܘ ܠܫܢܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܚܘܝܐ ܘܚܡܬܐ ܕܐܣܦܣ ܬܚܝܬ ܠܫܢܗܘܢ
5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.	5 ܢܛܪܝܢܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܥܘ̈ܠܐ ܘܡܢ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܚ̈ܛܘܦܐ ܢܛܪܝܢܝ ܕܐܬܚܫܒܘ ܠܡܕܚܐ ܗ̈ܠܟܬܝ
6 I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.	6 ܘܛܡܪܘ ܠܝ ܫܒܗܪ̈ܢܐ ܦܚ̈ܐ ܘܚ̈ܒܠܐ ܕܡܨܝ̈ܕܬܗܘܢ ܦܪܣܘ ܥܠ ܫܒ̈ܝܠܝ ܘܡܨܝܕܬܐ ܫܕܘ ܥܠܝ
7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.	7 ܐܡܪܬ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܕܐܠܗܝ ܐܢܬ ܨܘܬ ܠܩܠܐ ܕܒܥܘܬܝ
8 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.	8 ܡܪܝܐ ܦܪܘܩܝ ܥܫܝܢܐ ܡܛܠܠܗ ܕܪܝܫܝ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܩܪܒܐ
9 As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.	9 ܠܐ ܬܬܠ ܡܪܝܐ ܪܓܬܗ ܠܥܘܠܐ ܘܬܪܥܝܬܗ ܠܐ ܬܣܩ
10 Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.	10 ܠܪܝܫܝ ܢܟܣܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܥܘܠܐ ܕܣ̈ܦܘܬܗܘܢ
11 Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.	11 ܘܢܚ̈ܬܢ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܓܘܡܪ̈ܐ ܘܢܦܠܘܢ ܒܢܘܪܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܫܟܚܘܢ ܠܡܩܡ
12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.	12 ܒܪܢܫܐ ܠܫܢܢܐ ܠܐ ܢܬܩܝܡ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܥܘܠܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܬܨܘܕܝܘܗܝ ܠܐܒܕܢܐ
13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.	13 ܝܕܥܬ ܕܥܒܕ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܝܢܐ ܕܡܣ̈ܟܢܐ ܘܕܝܢܐ ܕܒܝܫ̈ܐ
