Psalms 141

1 [A Psalm by David.] LORD, I have called on you. Come to me quickly. Listen to my voice when I call to you.

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 before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like 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, 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 Do not incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Do not let me eat of their delicacies.

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 strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; do not let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.

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 are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken.

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 one plows and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol." (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 For my eyes are on you, LORD. In you, I take refuge. Do not leave 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 snare which they have laid for me, from the traps of evildoers.

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 together into their own nets, while I pass by.

願惡人一起墮入自設的網羅，而我卻得以安然無恙地脫逃。
