< Psalms 141 >

1 Yahweh, I call out to you; [please] help me quickly! Listen to me when I am calling to you.
ダビデの歌 主よ、わたしはあなたに呼ばわります。すみやかにわたしをお助けください。わたしがあなたに呼ばわるとき、わが声に耳を傾けてください。
2 Accept my prayer as though it were incense [being burned as an offering] [SIM] to you. And accept me while I lift up my hands [to pray] to you like you accept sacrifices [that I offer to you each] evening [SIM].
わたしの祈を、み前にささげる薫香のようにみなし、わたしのあげる手を、夕べの供え物のようにみなしてください。
3 Yahweh, do not allow me to say [MTY] things that are wrong; guard my lips.
主よ、わが口に門守を置いて、わがくちびるの戸を守ってください。
4 Prevent me from wanting to do anything that is wrong, and from joining with wicked men when they want to do evil deeds [DOU]. Do not [even] allow me to share in eating delightful food with them!
悪しき事にわが心を傾けさせず、不義を行う人々と共に悪しきわざにあずからせないでください。また彼らのうまき物を食べさせないでください。
5 It is all right if righteous people strike/hit me or rebuke me because they are trying to act kindly toward me [to teach me to do what is right], but I do not want wicked [people] to [honor me by] anointing my head with [olive] oil; I am always praying [that you will punish them because of] the wicked deeds [that they do].
正しい者にいつくしみをもってわたしを打たせ、わたしを責めさせてください。しかし悪しき者の油をわがこうべにそそがせないでください。わが祈は絶えず彼らの悪しきわざに敵しているからです。
6 When their rulers are thrown down from the top of rocky cliffs, people will know that what you, Yahweh, said [about them] is true.
彼らはおのれを罪に定める者にわたされるとき、主のみ言葉のまことなることを学ぶでしょう。
7 Like a log that is split and cut into small pieces [SIM], their shattered bones will be scattered [on the ground] near [other] graves. (Sheol h7585)
人が岩を裂いて地の上に打ち砕くように、彼らの骨は陰府の口にまき散らされるでしょう。 (Sheol h7585)
8 But Yahweh God, I [continue to] ask you [to help me]. I ask you to protect me; do not allow me to (die/be killed) [now]!
しかし主なる神よ、わが目はあなたに向かっています。わたしはあなたに寄り頼みます。わたしを助けるものもないままに捨ておかないでください。
9 [It is as though] people have set traps for me; protect me from falling into those traps, [It is as though] they have spread nets to catch me; keep me from being caught in those nets.
わたしを守って、彼らがわたしのために設けたわなと、悪を行う者のわなとをのがれさせてください。
10 I desire that wicked [people] will fall into the traps they have set [to catch me] while I escape [from them].
わたしがのがれると同時に、悪しき者をおのれの網に陥らせてください。
