Psalms 141
1 I have cried to the, O Lord, hear me: hearken to my voice, when I cry to thee.
Mazmur Daud. Aku berseru kepada-Mu, ya TUHAN, tolonglah aku segera! Dengarlah aku bila aku berseru kepada-Mu.
2 Let my prayer be directed as incense in thy sight; the lifting up of my hands, as evening sacrifice.
Terimalah doaku sebagai persembahan dupa, dan tanganku yang terentang sebagai kurban malam.
3 Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: and a door round about my lips.
Ya TUHAN, jagalah mulutku dan awasilah bibirku.
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.
Jauhkanlah aku dari keinginan berbuat jahat. Jangan biarkan aku bergabung dengan orang durhaka dan ikut makan dalam pesta mereka.
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:
Jika seorang baik menegur aku, dan dengan tulus menghajar aku, itu seperti minyak yang paling baik bagiku. Semoga aku tidak menolaknya, sebab aku terus berdoa menentang kejahatan mereka.
6 Their judges falling upon the rock have been swallowed up. They shall hear my words, for they have prevailed:
Bila para penguasa mereka dicampakkan dari tebing-tebing batu, mereka akan mengakui bahwa kata-kataku benar.
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)
Tulang-tulang kita akan dihamburkan di tepi kuburan seperti sebuah batu dihancurkan ke tanah. (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.
Tetapi aku tetap berharap kepada-Mu, ya TUHAN Allahku, jangan biarkan aku mati, sebab aku berlindung pada-Mu.
9 Keep me from the snare, which they have laid for me, and from the stumblingblocks of them that work iniquity.
Lindungilah aku dari jerat yang dipasang bagiku, dari perangkap penjahat-penjahat itu.
10 The wicked shall fall in his net: I am alone until I pass.
Biarlah mereka jatuh ke dalam jeratnya sendiri, tetapi semoga aku selamat.
