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.

大衛的詩。 耶和華啊，我曾求告你， 求你快快臨到我這裏！ 我求告你的時候， 願你留心聽我的聲音！

2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee [as] incense; [and] the lifting up of my hands [as] the evening sacrifice.

願我的禱告如香陳列在你面前！ 願我舉手祈求，如獻晚祭！

3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

耶和華啊，求你禁止我的口， 把守我的嘴！

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.

求你不叫我的心偏向邪惡， 以致我和作孽的人同行惡事； 也不叫我吃他們的美食。

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.

任憑義人擊打我，這算為仁慈； 任憑他責備我，這算為頭上的膏油； 我的頭不要躲閃。 正在他們行惡的時候，我仍要祈禱。

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

他們的審判官被扔在巖下； 眾人要聽我的話，因為這話甘甜。

7 Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth [wood] upon the earth. (Sheol h7585)

我們的骨頭散在墓旁， 好像人耕田、刨地的土塊。 (Sheol h7585)

8 But mine eyes [are] unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.

主－耶和華啊，我的眼目仰望你； 我投靠你，求你不要將我撇得孤苦！

9 Keep me from the snares [which] they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.

求你保護我脫離惡人為我設的網羅 和作孽之人的圈套！

10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.

願惡人落在自己的網裏， 我卻得以逃脫。
