Psalms 141

1 A Psalm by David. LORD, I have called on you. Come to me quickly! Listen to my voice when I call 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 Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.

願我的禱告如香陳列在你面前！ 願我舉手祈求，如獻晚祭！

3 Set a watch, LORD, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.

耶和華啊，求你禁止我的口， 把守我的嘴！

4 Don’t incline my heart to any evil thing, to practise deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Don’t let me eat of their delicacies.

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 the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; don’t let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.

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 Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken.

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 “As when one ploughs and breaks up the earth, our bones are 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 For my eyes are on you, LORD, the Lord. I take refuge in you. Don’t leave my soul destitute.

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 from the snare which they have laid for me, from the traps of the workers of iniquity.

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 the wicked fall together into their own nets while I pass by.

願惡人落在自己的網裏， 我卻得以逃脫。
