Tahalym (Psalm) — 140

1 O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, rescue me from evil people. Protect me from those who are violent,

2 those who plot evil in their hearts and stir up trouble all day long.

3 Their tongues sting like a snake; the venom of a viper drips from their lips. 

4 O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, keep me out of the hands of the wicked. Protect me from those who are violent, for they are plotting against me.

5 The proud have set a trap to catch me;    they have stretched out a net; they have placed traps all along the way. 

6 I said to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, “You are my 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH!” Listen, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, to my cries for mercy!

7 O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH Tsaba'ut, the strong one who rescued me, you protected me on the day of battle.

8 O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, do not let evil people have their way. Do not let their evil schemes succeed, or they will become proud. 

9 Let my enemies be destroyed by the very evil they have planned for me.

10 Let burning coals fall down on their heads. Let them be thrown into the fire or into watery pits from which they can not escape.

11 Do not let liars prosper here in our land. Cause great disasters to fall on the violent.

12 But I know 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH will help those they persecute; He will give justice to the poor.

13 Surely righteous people are praising your Name; the righteous will live in your presence.
