Psalmien 141
1 Davidin Psalmi. Herra, minä avukseni huudan sinua: riennä minun puoleeni: ota korviis minun ääneni, koska minä sinua huudan.
Yahweh, I call out to you; [please] help me quickly! Listen to me when I am calling to you.
2 Kelvatkoon minun rukoukseni sinun edessäs niinkuin savu-uhri, minun kätteni ylennys niinkuin ehtoo-uhri.
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].
3 Herra, varjele minun suuni ja varjele minun huuleni.
Yahweh, do not allow me to say [MTY] things that are wrong; guard my lips.
4 Älä kallista minun sydäntäni mihinkään pahuuteen, pitämään jumalatointa menoa pahointekiäin kanssa, etten minä söisi niitä, mitkä heille kelpaavat.
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!
5 Vanhurskas lyökään minua ystävällisesti, ja nuhdelkaan minua, se olkoon niinkuin öljy minun pääni päällä; sillä minä vielä rukoilen heidän pahuuttansa vastaan.
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].
6 Heidän opettajansa sysättäköön kiveen, niin sitte kuullaan minun opetukseni suloiseksi.
When their rulers are thrown down from the top of rocky cliffs, people will know that what you, Yahweh, said [about them] is true.
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)
8 Sillä sinua, Herra, Herra, minun silmäni katsovat: minä uskallan sinuun, älä minun sieluani hylkää.
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]!
9 Varjele minua siitä paulasta, jonka he asettivat eteeni, ja pahointekiäin ansasta.
[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.
10 Jumalattomat lankeevat toinen toisensa kanssa omiin verkkoihinsa, siihenasti kuin minä pääsen ohitse.
I desire that wicked [people] will fall into the traps they have set [to catch me] while I escape [from them].
