Psalms 140

1 To the choirmaster a psalm of David. Rescue me O Yahweh from a man evil from a man of violence you will preserve me.

上主，求您救拔我脫離兇惡的人； 上主，求您保護我脫離強暴的人！

2 [those] who They plan evil things in [the] heart every day they stir up trouble wars.

他們心中策劃惡謀，他們終日挑撥爭鬥；

3 They sharpen tongue their like a snake [the] venom of a viper [is] under lips their (Selah)

他們磨快自己的舌尖，有如蛇蝮，他們的雙脣的下面，含有蛇毒。 （休止）

4 Keep me O Yahweh - from [the] hands of [the] wicked from a man of violence you will preserve me [those] who they have planned to trip up footsteps my.

上主，求您拯救我脫離兇惡的人；上主，求您保護我擺脫強暴的人，因他們企圖要我腳步滑倒。

5 They have hidden proud [people] - a trap for me and ropes they have spread a net to [the] side of a track snares they have set for me (Selah)

驕傲人給我暗暗設網羅，張起繩索作為圈套，設下陷井等我路過。 （休止）

6 I say to Yahweh [are] God my you give ear to! O Yahweh [the] sound of supplications my.

我求上主說：您是我的天主；上主，求您聽我哀禱的苦訴！

7 O Yahweh O Lord [the] strength of salvation my you cover head my in a day of weaponry.

上主天主，您是我有力的救助，在作戰時，請您掩護我的頭顱。

8 May not you grant O Yahweh [the] desires of [the] wicked plot his may not you promote they will arise (Selah)

上主，求您不要順隨惡人的奢欲；上主，請不要完成他們的計謀。 （休止）

9 [the] head of Surroundings my [the] mischief of lips their (may it cover them. *Q(K)*)

願那些顯露頭而圍困我的人，出於他們口脣的詛咒，反歸己身。

10 (May they be dropped *Q(K)*) on them burning coals in the fire let someone make fall them in pits [which] not they will arise.

願火降落在他們的身上，將他們拋入深坑免再高昂。

11 A person of tongue not let him be established in the land a person of violence trouble let it hunt him for blows.

搬弄是非的人，不得在世久存，災禍會突然使強暴的人被擒。

12 (I know *Q(k)*) that he will do Yahweh [the] cause of [the] poor [the] justice of needy [people].

我確知上主必為受壓迫的人伸冤，也必為貧窮的人主持正義的判斷。

13 Surely righteous [people] they will give thanks to name your they will dwell upright [people] with presence your.

義人必定將您的聖名頌讚，善人必定居住在您的面前。
