Psalms 141
1 A Psalm of David. O Lord, I have cried out to you, hear me. Attend to my voice, when I cry out to you.
Mazmur Daud. Aku berseru kepada-Mu, ya TUHAN, tolonglah aku segera! Dengarlah aku bila aku berseru kepada-Mu.
2 Let my prayer be guided like incense in your sight: the lifting up of my hands, like the evening sacrifice.
Terimalah doaku sebagai persembahan dupa, dan tanganku yang terentang sebagai kurban malam.
3 O Lord, station a guard over my mouth and a door enclosing my lips.
Ya TUHAN, jagalah mulutku dan awasilah bibirku.
4 Do not turn aside my heart to words of malice, to making excuses for sins, with men who work iniquity; and I will not communicate, even with the best of them.
Jauhkanlah aku dari keinginan berbuat jahat. Jangan biarkan aku bergabung dengan orang durhaka dan ikut makan dalam pesta mereka.
5 The just one will correct me with mercy, and he will rebuke me. But do not allow the oil of the sinner to fatten my head. For my prayer will still be toward their good will.
Jika seorang baik menegur aku, dan dengan tulus menghajar aku, itu seperti minyak yang paling baik bagiku. Semoga aku tidak menolaknya, sebab aku terus berdoa menentang kejahatan mereka.
6 Their judges have been engulfed, joined to the rocks. They will hear my words, which have prevailed,
Bila para penguasa mereka dicampakkan dari tebing-tebing batu, mereka akan mengakui bahwa kata-kataku benar.
7 as when the lava of the earth has erupted above ground. Our bones have been scattered beside Hell. (Sheol h7585)
Tulang-tulang kita akan dihamburkan di tepi kuburan seperti sebuah batu dihancurkan ke tanah. (Sheol h7585)
8 For Lord, O Lord, my eyes look to you. In you, I have hoped. Do not take away my soul.
Tetapi aku tetap berharap kepada-Mu, ya TUHAN Allahku, jangan biarkan aku mati, sebab aku berlindung pada-Mu.
9 Protect me from the snare that they have set up for me and from the scandals of those who work iniquity.
Lindungilah aku dari jerat yang dipasang bagiku, dari perangkap penjahat-penjahat itu.
10 The sinners will fall into his net. I am alone, until I pass over.
Biarlah mereka jatuh ke dalam jeratnya sendiri, tetapi semoga aku selamat.
