< Salmos 141 >

1 Senhor, a ti clamo, escuta-me; inclina os teus ouvidos à minha voz, quando a ti clamar.
Yahweh, I call out to you; [please] help me quickly! Listen to me when I am calling to you.
2 Suba a minha oração perante a tua face como incenso, e as minhas mãos levantadas sejam como o sacrifício da tarde.
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 Põe, ó Senhor, uma guarda à minha boca: guarda a porta dos meus lábios.
Yahweh, do not allow me to say [MTY] things that are wrong; guard my lips.
4 Não inclines o meu coração a coisas más, a praticar obras más, com aqueles que obram a iniquidade; e não coma das suas delícias.
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 Fira-me o justo, será uma benignidade; e repreenda-me, será um excelente óleo, que me não quebrará a cabeça; porque orarei nas suas próprias calamidades.
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 Quando os seus juízes forem derribados pelos lados da rocha, ouvirão as minhas palavras, pois são agradáveis.
When their rulers are thrown down from the top of rocky cliffs, people will know that what you, Yahweh, said [about them] is true.
7 Os nossos ossos são espalhados à boca da sepultura como se alguém fendera e partira lenha em terra. (Sheol h7585)
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 Mas os meus olhos te contemplam, o Deus, Senhor: em ti confio; não desnudes a minha alma.
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 Guarda-me dos laços que me armaram; e dos laços corrediços dos que obram a iniquidade.
[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 Caiam os ímpios nas suas próprias redes, até que eu tenha escapado inteiramente.
I desire that wicked [people] will fall into the traps they have set [to catch me] while I escape [from them].
