Psalms 141

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

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 before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like 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, YHWH, 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 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.

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 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.

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

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 "As when one plows and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol." (Sheol h7585)

我們的骨頭散在墓旁， 好像人耕田、刨地的土塊。 (Sheol h7585)

8 For my eyes are on you, YHWH. In you, I take refuge. Do not leave 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 snare which they have laid for me, from the traps of evildoers.

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 together into their own nets, while I pass by.

願惡人落在自己的網裏， 我卻得以逃脫。
