Psalms 141

1 A psalm of David. Lord, I'm calling out to you! Please hurry up and help me! Please listen to me when I cry out to you!

大衛的詩。 耶和華啊，我曾求告你， 求你快快臨到我這裏！ 我求告你的時候， 願你留心聽我的聲音！

2 May my prayer be like incense before you, my uplifted hands like an evening offering.

願我的禱告如香陳列在你面前！ 願我舉手祈求，如獻晚祭！

3 Lord, make sure I don't say anything I shouldn't—keep a watch over my conversations.

耶和華啊，求你禁止我的口， 把守我的嘴！

4 Don't let me think about evil things or take part in doing anything wrong with wicked people. I won't join in eating fancy food at their feasts.

求你不叫我的心偏向邪惡， 以致我和作孽的人同行惡事； 也不叫我吃他們的美食。

5 Let a good person punish me in love—let them correct me. It will be like an anointing—I won't refuse it. But I still pray against those who do evil.

任憑義人擊打我，這算為仁慈； 任憑他責備我，這算為頭上的膏油； 我的頭不要躲閃。 正在他們行惡的時候，我仍要祈禱。

6 They shall be thrown down by the power of the rock that judges them, and then they will recognize what I said was true!

他們的審判官被扔在巖下； 眾人要聽我的話，因為這話甘甜。

7 Just as the earth is broken up by the plough, so shall their bones be scattered at the mouth of Sheol. (Sheol h7585)

我們的骨頭散在墓旁， 好像人耕田、刨地的土塊。 (Sheol h7585)

8 But I'm looking to you, Lord God, for I find protection in you. Don't let me die!

主－耶和華啊，我的眼目仰望你； 我投靠你，求你不要將我撇得孤苦！

9 Keep me safe from the traps they have set to catch me, from the snares of evil people.

求你保護我脫離惡人為我設的網羅 和作孽之人的圈套！

10 Let them fall into their own traps while I pass by unharmed.

願惡人落在自己的網裏， 我卻得以逃脫。
