To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. DeliverH2502 me, O LORDH3068, from the evilH7451 manH120: preserveH5341 me from the violentH2555 manH376; {violent…: Heb. man of violences}
Which imagineH2803 mischiefsH7451 in their heartH3820; continuallyH3117 are they gathered togetherH1481 for warH4421.
They have sharpenedH8150 their tonguesH3956 like a serpentH5175; adders'H5919 poisonH2534 is under their lipsH8193. SelahH5542.
KeepH8104 me, O LORDH3068, from the handsH3027 of the wickedH7563; preserveH5341 me from the violentH2555 manH376; who have purposedH2803 to overthrowH1760 my goingsH6471.
The proudH1343 have hidH2934 a snareH6341 for me, and cordsH2256; they have spreadH6566 a netH7568 by the waysideH3027+H4570; they have setH7896 ginsH4170 for me. SelahH5542.
I saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, Thou art my GodH410: hearH238 the voiceH6963 of my supplicationsH8469, O LORDH3068.
O GODH3069 the LordH136, the strengthH5797 of my salvationH3444, thou hast coveredH5526 my headH7218 in the dayH3117 of battleH5402.
GrantH5414 not, O LORDH3068, the desiresH3970 of the wickedH7563: furtherH6329 not his wicked deviceH2162; lest they exaltH7311 themselves. SelahH5542. {lest…: or, let them not be exalted}
As for the headH7218 of those that compass me aboutH4524, let the mischiefH5999 of their own lipsH8193 coverH3680 them.
Let burning coalsH1513 fallH4131+H4131 upon them: let them be castH5307 into the fireH784; into deep pitsH4113, that they rise not up againH6965.
Let not an evil speakerH376+H3956 be establishedH3559 in the earthH776: evilH7451 shall huntH6679 the violentH2555 manH376 to overthrowH4073 him. {an…: Heb. a man of tongue: or an evil speaker, a wicked man of violence be established in the earth: let him be hunted to his overthrow}
I knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 will maintainH6213 the causeH1779 of the afflictedH6041, and the rightH4941 of the poorH34.
Surely the righteousH6662 shall give thanksH3034 unto thy nameH8034: the uprightH3477 shall dwellH3427 in thy presenceH6440.
Querverweise zu Psalm 140,3 Ps 140,3
Thy tongueH3956 devisethH2803 mischiefsH1942; like a sharpH3913 razorH8593, workingH6213 deceitfullyH7423.
And the LORDH3068 GodH430 saidH559 unto the womanH802, What is this that thou hast doneH6213? And the womanH802 saidH559, The serpentH5175 beguiled meH5377, and I did eatH398.
Their poisonH2534 is likeH1823 the poisonH2534 of a serpentH5175: they are like the deafH2795 adderH6620 that stoppethH331 her earH241; {like the poison: Heb. according to the likeness, etc} {adder: or, asp}
Thou lovestH157 evilH7451 more than goodH2896; and lyingH8267 rather than to speakH1696 righteousnessH6664. SelahH5542.
At the lastH319 it bitethH5391 like a serpentH5175, and stingethH6567 like an adderH6848. {an…: or, a cockatrice}
TheirG846 throatG2995 is an openG455 sepulchreG5028; with theirG846 tonguesG1100 they have used deceitG1387; the poisonG2447 of aspsG785 is underG5259 theirG846 lipsG5491:
My soulH5315 is amongH8432 lionsH3833: and I lieH7901 even among them that are set on fireH3857, even the sonsH1121 of menH120, whose teethH8127 are spearsH2595 and arrowsH2671, and their tongueH3956 a sharpH2299 swordH2719.
O generationG1081 of vipersG2191, howG4459 can yeG1410, beingG5607 evilG4190, speakG2980 good thingsG18? forG1063 out ofG1537 the abundanceG4051 of the heartG2588 the mouthG4750 speakethG2980.
Behold, they belch outH5042 with their mouthH6310: swordsH2719 are in their lipsH8193: for who, say they, doth hearH8085?
ButG1161 I fearG5399, lestG3381 by any meansG4458, asG5613 the serpentG3789 beguiledG1818 EveG2096 throughG1722 hisG846 subtiltyG3834, soG3779 yourG5216 mindsG3540 should be corruptedG5351 fromG575 the simplicityG572 that is inG1519 ChristG5547.
Who whetH8150 their tongueH3956 like a swordH2719, and bendH1869 their bows to shoot their arrowsH2671, even bitterH4751 wordsH1697:
That they may shootH3384 in secretH4565 at the perfectH8535: suddenlyH6597 do they shootH3384 at him, and fearH3372 not.
There isH3426 that speakethH981 like the piercingsH4094 of a swordH2719: but the tongueH3956 of the wiseH2450 is healthH4832.
For your handsH3709 are defiledH1351 with bloodH1818, and your fingersH676 with iniquityH5771; your lipsH8193 have spokenH1696 liesH8267, your tongueH3956 hath mutteredH1897 perversenessH5766.
None callethH7121 for justiceH6664, nor any pleadethH8199 for truthH530: they trustH982 in vanityH8414, and speakH1696 liesH7723; they conceiveH2029 mischiefH5999, and bring forthH3205 iniquityH205.
They hatchH1234 cockatrice'H6848 eggsH1000, and weaveH707 the spider'sH5908 webH6980: he that eatethH398 of their eggsH1000 diethH4191, and that which is crushedH2116 breaketh outH1234 into a viperH660. {cockatrice': or, adder's} {crushed…: or, sprinkled is as if there brake out a viper}
In transgressingH6586 and lyingH3584 against the LORDH3068, and departing awayH5253 fromH310 our GodH430, speakingH1696 oppressionH6233 and revoltH5627, conceivingH2029 and utteringH1897 from the heartH3820 wordsH1697 of falsehoodH8267.
And they bendH1869 their tonguesH3956 like their bowH7198 for liesH8267: but they are not valiantH1396 for the truthH530 upon the earthH776; for they proceedH3318 from evilH7451 to evilH7451, and they knowH3045 not me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
And they will deceiveH2048 every oneH376 his neighbourH7453, and will not speakH1696 the truthH571: they have taughtH3925 their tongueH3956 to speakH1696 liesH8267, and wearyH3811 themselves to commit iniquityH5753. {deceive: or, mock}
AndG2532 the tongueG1100 is a fireG4442, a worldG2889 of iniquityG93: soG3779 isG2525 the tongueG1100 amongG1722 ourG2257 membersG3196, that it defilethG4695 the wholeG3650 bodyG4983, andG2532 setteth on fireG5394 the courseG5164 of natureG1078; andG2532 it is set on fireG5394 ofG5259 hellG1067. {course: Gr. wheel}
ForG1063 everyG3956 kindG5449 of beastsG2342, andG5037+G2532 of birdsG4071, andG5037 of serpentsG2062, andG2532 of things in the seaG1724, is tamedG1150, andG2532 hath been tamedG1150 of mankindG5449+G442: {kind: Gr. nature} {mankind: Gr. nature of man}
ButG1161 the tongueG1100 canG1410 noG3762 manG444 tameG1150; it is an unrulyG183 evilG2556, fullG3324 of deadlyG2287 poisonG2447.
