Mezmurlar 139

¹Sona doğru. Davut'un bir mezmuru.

²Kurtar beni ya RAB kötü insandan, haksız adamdan çekip çıkar beni.

³Onlar ki yüreklerinde haksızlık tasarladılar, bütün gün savaşlar için saf tuttular.

⁴Dillerini bir yılan gibi bilediler, dudaklarının altında engerek zehri var. (Ara oyun).

⁵Koru beni ya RAB günahkarın elinden, haksız insanlardan kurtar beni; onlar ki adımlarımı tökezletmeyi hesapladılar.

⁶Kibirliler bana gizli tuzak kurdular ve ipler gerdiler; ayaklarımın dibine ağ gerdiler, patikaların kenarına tökezleten engeller koydular. (Ara oyun).

⁷RAB'be dedim ki: "Tanrım sensin sen; kulak ver ya RAB yalvarışımın sesine."

⁸Ya RAB, Rab, kurtuluşumun gücü, savaş gününde başımı gölgeledin.

⁹Teslim etme beni ya RAB kendi arzum yüzünden günahkara; bana karşı hesaplar yaptılar, beni yüzüstü bırakma ki asla böbürlenmesinler. (Ara oyun).

¹⁰Beni kuşatanların başı, kendi dudaklarının açtığı belayla kaplansın.

¹¹Üzerlerine ateşten korlar düşecek, onları ateşe atacaksın; öyle sıkıntılara düşecekler ki bir daha asla ayakta kalamayacaklar.

¹²İftiracı adam yeryüzünde başarıya ulaştırılmayacaktır; haksız adamı kötülükler yıkıma uğratmak için avlayacaktır.

¹³Biliyorum ki RAB, yoksulların davasını ve muhtaçların hakkını yerine getirecektir.

¹⁴Şüphesiz doğrular senin adına şükredecek, dürüstler senin huzurunda yaşayacaktır.

¹Εἰς τὸ τέλος· ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ. -

²ΕΞΕΛΟΥ με, Κύριε, ἐξ ἀνθρώπου πονηροῦ, ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς ἀδίκου ῥῦσαί με,

³οἵτινες ἐλογίσαντο ἀδικίαν ἐν καρδίᾳ, ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν παρετάσσοντο πολέμους·

⁴ἠκόνησαν γλῶσσαν αὐτῶν ὡσεὶ ὄφεως, ἰὸς ἀσπίδων ὑπὸ τὰ χείλη αὐτῶν. (διάψαλμα).

⁵φύλαξόν με, Κύριε, ἐκ χειρὸς ἁμαρτωλοῦ, ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπων ἀδίκων ἐξελοῦ με, οἵτινες διελογίσαντο τοῦ ὑποσκελίσαι τὰ διαβήματά μου·

⁶ἔκρυψαν ὑπερήφανοι παγίδα μοι καὶ σχοινία διέτειναν, παγίδα τοῖς ποσί μου, ἐχόμενα τρίβους σκάνδαλα ἔθεντό μοι. (διάψαλμα).

⁷εἶπα τῷ Κυρίῳ· Θεός μου εἶ σύ, ἐνώτισαι, Κύριε, τὴν φωνὴν τῆς δεήσεώς μου.

⁸Κύριε, Κύριε, δύναμις τῆς σωτηρίας μου, ἐπεσκίασας ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλήν μου ἐν ἡμέρᾳ πολέμου.

⁹μὴ παραδῷς με, Κύριε, ἀπὸ τῆς ἐπιθυμίας μου ἁμαρτωλῷ· διελογίσαντο κατ᾿ ἐμοῦ, μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς με, μήποτε ὑψωθῶσιν. (διάψαλμα).

¹⁰ἡ κεφαλὴ τοῦ κυκλώματος αὐτῶν, κόπος τῶν χειλέων αὐτῶν καλύψει αὐτούς.

¹¹πεσοῦνται ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς ἄνθρακες, ἐν πυρὶ καταβαλεῖς αὐτούς, ἐν ταλαιπωρίαις οὐ μὴ ὑποστῶσιν.

¹²ἀνὴρ γλωσσώδης οὐ κατευθυνθήσεται ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ἄνδρα ἄδικον κακὰ θηρεύσει εἰς διαφθοράν.

¹³ἔγνων ὅτι ποιήσει Κύριος τὴν κρίσιν τῶν πτωχῶν καὶ τὴν δίκην τῶν πενήτων.

¹⁴πλὴν δίκαιοι ἐξομολογήσονται τῷ ὀνόματί σου, κατοικήσουσιν εὐθεῖς σὺν τῷ προσώπῳ σου.

¹[For the end, a Psalm of David.] Rescue me,

²O Lord, from the evil man; deliver me from the unjust man.

³Who have devised injustice in their hearts; all the day they prepared war.

⁴They have sharpened their tongue as [the tongue] of a serpent; the poison of asps is under their lips. Pause.

⁵Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the sinner; rescue me from unjust men; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.

⁶The proud have hid a snare for me, and have stretched out ropes [for] snares for my feet; they set a stumbling-block for me near the path. Pause.

⁷I said to the Lord, Thou art my God; hearken, O Lord, to the voice of my supplication.

⁸O Lord God, the strength of my salvation; thou hast screened my head in the day of battle.

⁹Deliver me not, O Lord, to the sinner, according to my desire: they have devised [mischief] against me; forsake me not, lest they should be exalted. Pause.

¹⁰[As for] the head of them that compass me, the mischief of their lips shall cover them.

¹¹Coals of fire shall fall upon them on the earth; and thou shalt cast them down in afflictions: they shall not bear up [under them].

¹²A talkative man shall not prosper on the earth: evils shall hunt the unrighteous man to destruction.

¹³I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the poor, and the right of the needy ones.

¹⁴Surely the righteous shall give thanks to thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
