Psalms 140

1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. O Lord, take me out of the power of the evil man; keep me safe from the violent man:

大卫的诗，交与伶长。 耶和华啊，求你拯救我脱离凶恶的人， 保护我脱离强暴的人！

2 For their hearts are full of evil designs; and they are ever making ready causes of war.

他们心中图谋奸恶， 常常聚集要争战。

3 Their tongues are sharp like the tongue of a snake; the poison of snakes is under their lips. (Selah)

他们使舌头尖利如蛇， 嘴里有虺蛇的毒气。 (细拉)

4 O Lord, take me out of the hands of sinners; keep me safe from the violent man: for they are designing my downfall.

耶和华啊，求你拯救我脱离恶人的手， 保护我脱离强暴的人！ 他们图谋推我跌倒。

5 The men of pride have put secret cords for my feet; stretching nets in my way, so that they may take me with their tricks. (Selah)

骄傲人为我暗设网罗和绳索； 他们在路旁铺下网，设下圈套。 (细拉)

6 I have said to the Lord, You are my God: give ear, O Lord, to the voice of my prayer.

我曾对耶和华说：你是我的 神。 耶和华啊，求你留心听我恳求的声音！

7 O Lord God, the strength of my salvation, you have been a cover over my head in the day of the fight.

主—耶和华、我救恩的力量啊， 在争战的日子，你遮蔽了我的头。

8 O Lord, give not the wrongdoer his desire; give him no help in his evil designs, or he may be uplifted in pride. (Selah)

耶和华啊，求你不要遂恶人的心愿； 不要成就他们的计谋，恐怕他们自高。 (细拉)

9 As for those who come round me, let their heads be covered by the evil of their lips.

至于那些昂首围困我的人， 愿他们嘴唇的奸恶陷害自己！

10 Let burning flames come down on them: let them be put into the fire, and into deep waters, so that they may not get up again.

愿火炭落在他们身上！ 愿他们被丢在火中， 抛在深坑里，不能再起来。

11 Let not a man of evil tongue be safe on earth: let destruction overtake the violent man with blow on blow.

说恶言的人在地上必坚立不住； 祸患必猎取强暴的人，将他打倒。

12 I am certain that the Lord will take care of the cause of the poor, and of the rights of those who are troubled.

我知道耶和华必为困苦人伸冤， 必为穷乏人辨屈。

13 Truly, the upright will give praise to your name: the holy will have a place in your house.

义人必要称赞你的名； 正直人必住在你面前。
