Psalms 141
1 A Psalm of David. O Lord, I have cried to you; hear me: attend to the voice of my supplication, when I cry to you.
En Salme af David. HERRE, jeg raaber til dig, il mig til Hjælp, hør min Røst, naar jeg raaber til dig;
2 Let my prayer be set forth before you as incense; the lifting up of my hands [as] an evening sacrifice.
som Røgoffer gælde for dig min Bøn, mine løftede Hænder som Aftenoffer!
3 Set a watch, O Lord, on my mouth, and a strong door about by lips.
HERRE, sæt Vagt ved min Mund, vogt mine Læbers Dør!
4 Incline not my heart to evil things, to employ pretexts for sins, with me who work iniquity: and I will not. let me not unite with their choice ones.
Bøj ikke mit Hjerte til ondt, til at gøre gudløs Gerning sammen med Udaadsmænd; deres lækre Mad vil jeg ikke smage.
5 The righteous shall chasten me with mercy, and reprove me: but let not the oil of the sinner anoint my head: for yet shall my prayer also be in their pleasures.
Slaar en retfærdig mig, saa er det Kærlighed; revser han mig, er det Olie for Hovedet, ej skal mit Hoved vise det fra sig, end sætter jeg min Bøn imod deres Ondskab.
6 Their mighty ones have been swallowed up near the rock: they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.
Ned ad Klippens Skrænter skal Dommerne hos dem styrtes, og de skal høre, at mine Ord er liflige.
7 As a lump of earth is crushed upon the ground, our bones have been scattered by the [mouth of] the grave. (Sheol h7585)
Som naar man pløjer Jorden i Furer, spredes vore Ben ved Dødsrigets Gab. (Sheol h7585)
8 For mine eyes are to you, O Lord God: I have hoped in you; take not away my life.
Dog, mine Øjne er rettet paa dig, o HERRE, Herre, paa dig forlader jeg mig, giv ikke mit Liv til Pris!
9 Keep me from the snare which they have set for me, and from the stumbling blocks of them that work iniquity.
Vogt mig for Fælden, de stiller for mig, og Udaadsmændenes Snarer;
10 Sinners shall fall by their own net: I am alone until I shall escape.
lad de gudløse falde i egne Garn, medens jeg gaar uskadt videre.
