< 詩篇 141 >
1 ヱホバよ我なんぢを呼ふ ねがはくは速かにわれにきたりたまへ われ汝をよばふときわが聲に耳をかたぶけたまへ
A Melody of David. O Yahweh, I have cried unto thee, Make thou haste to me, Give ear unto my voice, when I cry to thee.
2 われは薫物のごとくにわが祈をみまへにささげ 夕のそなへものの如くにわが手をあげて聖前にささげんことをねがふ
Let my prayer be set in order like incense before thee, —the lifting up of my hands, as the evening gift.
3 ヱホバよねがはくはわが口に門守をおきて わがくちびるの戸をまもりたまへ
Set thou, O Yahweh, a watch at my mouth, Keep thou guard over the door of my lips.
4 惡事にわがこころを傾かしめて邪曲をおこなふ者とともに惡きわざにあづからしめ給ふなかれ 又かれらの珍饈をくらはしめたまふなかれ
Let not my heart incline to a matter of wrong, that I should busy myself with practices in lawlessness, with men working iniquity, and let me not eat of their dainties.
5 義者われをうつとも我はこれを愛しみとしその我をせむるを頭のあぶらとせん わが頭はこれを辭まず かれらが禍害にあふときもわが祈はたえじ
Let a righteous man smite me—a lovingkindness, that he should correct me, an oil for the head [which] let not my head refuse! For, yet, even my prayer, shall be in their calamities.
6 その審士ははほの崕になげられん かれらわがことばの甘美によりて聽ことをすべし
Their judges, have been hurled down by a crag, Now have men heard my sayings, for they have become sweet.
7 人つちを耕しうがつがごとく我儕のほねははかの口にちらさる (Sheol )
As when one plougheth and furroweth the earth, Scattered about, are our bones at the mouth of hades! (Sheol )
8 されど主ヱホバよわが目はなほ汝にむかふ 我なんぢに依賴めり ねがはくはわが霊魂をともしきままに捨おきたまなかれ
Surely, unto thee, O Yahweh, My Lord, are mine eyes, In thee, have I sought refuge, Do not pour out my life.
9 我をまもりてかれらがわがためにまうくる羂とよこしまを行ふものの機とをまぬかれしめたまへ
Keep me out of the clutches of the trap they have set for me, and the snares of the workers of iniquity.
10 われは全くのがれん あしきものをおのれの網におちいらしめたまへ
They who are lawless, shall fall into the nooses thereof, while, I, at the same time, pass on.
