詩篇 第 141 篇

¹（大衛的詩。）耶和華啊，我曾求告你，求你快快臨到我這裡！我求告你的時候，願你留心聽我的聲音！LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.

²願我的禱告如香陳列在你面前！願我舉手祈求，如獻晚祭！Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

³耶和華啊，求你禁止我的口，把守我的嘴！Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

⁴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。Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.

⁵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。Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.

⁶他們的審判官被扔在巖下；眾人要聽我的話，因為這話甘甜。When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.

⁷我們的骨頭散在墓旁，好像人耕田、刨地的土塊。Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.

⁸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！But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.

⁹求你保護我脫離惡人為我設的網羅和作孽之人的圈套！Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.

¹⁰願惡人落在自己的網裡，我卻得以逃脫。Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
