Psalms 141

1 I have cried to the, O Lord, hear me: hearken to my voice, when I cry to thee.

上主，我呼求您，請求速來救助我；上主，我呼求您，請您聽我的呼號。

2 Let my prayer be directed as incense in thy sight; the lifting up of my hands, as evening sacrifice.

願我向您的祈禱，像馨香上升；願我的手高舉，如同晚祭的高騰。

3 Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: and a door round about my lips.

上主，求您在我的口邊派守衛，求您在我的唇前派警備。

4 Incline not my heart to evil words; to make excuses in sins. With men that work iniquity: and I will not communicate with the choicest of them.

莫讓我的心傾向邪道，免得我再去犯罪作惡；莫讓我與惡人同作壞事，免得我嚐食他們的美味。

5 The just shall correct me in mercy, and shall reprove me: but let not the oil of the sinner fatten my head. For my prayer also shall still be against the things with which they are well pleased:

義人責打我，算是我的恩遇，他責斥我，是給我頭的傅油。我的頭也決不會加以抗拒，我仍然為迫害我的人祈求。

6 Their judges falling upon the rock have been swallowed up. They shall hear my words, for they have prevailed:

當他們的首領被拋於巖石時，纔感覺到我的話是如何甘飴。

7 As when the thickness of the earth is broken up upon the ground: Our bones are scattered by the side of hell. (Sheol h7585)

他們的骨頭被棄置在陰府門旁，像人耕地掘田，將土塊任意拋放。 (Sheol h7585)

8 But o to thee, O Lord, Lord, are my eyes: in thee have I put my trust, take not away my soul.

上主天主，我的雙目一直仰望你，我信賴你，不要將我的靈魂拋棄。

9 Keep me from the snare, which they have laid for me, and from the stumblingblocks of them that work iniquity.

求你保護我免陷於他們為我設的網羅，求你使我能夠脫離為非作歹者的圈套。

10 The wicked shall fall in his net: I am alone until I pass.

願惡人一起墮入自設的網羅，而我卻得以安然無恙地脫逃。
