Psalms 141

1 A Psalm of David. I call upon You, O LORD; come quickly to me. Hear my voice when I call to You.

大衛的詩。 耶和華啊，我曾求告你， 求你快快臨到我這裏！ 我求告你的時候， 願你留心聽我的聲音！

2 May my prayer be set before You like incense, my uplifted hands like the evening offering.

願我的禱告如香陳列在你面前！ 願我舉手祈求，如獻晚祭！

3 Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.

耶和華啊，求你禁止我的口， 把守我的嘴！

4 Do not let my heart be drawn to any evil thing or take part in works of wickedness with men who do iniquity; let me not feast on their delicacies.

求你不叫我的心偏向邪惡， 以致我和作孽的人同行惡事； 也不叫我吃他們的美食。

5 Let the righteous man strike me; let his rebuke be an act of loving devotion. It is oil for my head; let me not refuse it. For my prayer is ever against the deeds of the wicked.

任憑義人擊打我，這算為仁慈； 任憑他責備我，這算為頭上的膏油； 我的頭不要躲閃。 正在他們行惡的時候，我仍要祈禱。

6 When their rulers are thrown down from the cliffs, the people will listen to my words, for they are pleasant.

他們的審判官被扔在巖下； 眾人要聽我的話，因為這話甘甜。

7 As when one plows and breaks up the soil, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol. (Sheol h7585)

我們的骨頭散在墓旁， 好像人耕田、刨地的土塊。 (Sheol h7585)

8 But my eyes are fixed on You, O GOD the Lord. In You I seek refuge; do not leave my soul defenseless.

主－耶和華啊，我的眼目仰望你； 我投靠你，求你不要將我撇得孤苦！

9 Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, and from the lures of evildoers.

求你保護我脫離惡人為我設的網羅 和作孽之人的圈套！

10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety.

願惡人落在自己的網裏， 我卻得以逃脫。
