Psalms 141

1 A Psalm of David. LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto 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 set forth before thee [as] incense; [and] the lifting up of my hands [as] the 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; keep the door of 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 [any] evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.

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 Let the righteous smite me; [it shall be] a kindness: and let him reprove me; [it shall be] an excellent oil, [which] shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also [shall be] in their calamities.

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 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.

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 Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth [wood] upon the earth. (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 mine eyes [are] unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.

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 snares [which] they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of 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 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.

願惡人一起墮入自設的網羅，而我卻得以安然無恙地脫逃。
