旧约--诗篇(psalms)--第 140 章

140:1 （大卫的诗，交与伶长）耶和华阿，求你拯救我脱离凶恶的人，保护我脱离强暴的人。

deliver me, o lord, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;

140:2 他们心中图谋奸恶，常常聚集要争战。

which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.

140:3 他们使舌头尖利如蛇，嘴里有虺蛇的毒气。（细拉）

they have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. selah.

140:4 耶和华阿，求你拯救我脱离恶人的手，保护我脱离强暴的人。他们图谋推我跌倒。

keep me, o lord, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.

140:5 骄傲人为我暗设网罗和绳索。他们在路旁铺下网，设下圈套。（细拉）

the proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. selah.

140:6 我曾对耶和华说，你是我的神。耶和华阿，求你留心听我恳求的声音。

i said unto the lord, thou art my god: hear the voice of my supplications, o lord.

140:7 主耶和华，我救恩的力量阿，在争战的日子，你遮蔽了我的头。

o god the lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.

140:8 耶和华阿，求你不要遂恶人的心愿。不要成就他们的计谋，恐怕他们自高。（细拉）

grant not, o lord, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. selah.

140:9 至于那些昂首围困我的人，愿他们嘴唇的奸恶陷害（原文是遮蔽）自己。

as for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

140:10 愿火炭落在他们身上。愿他们被丢在火中，抛在深坑里，不能再起来。

let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.

140:11 说恶言的人，在地上必坚立不住。祸患必猎取强暴的人，将他打倒。

let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

140:12 我知道耶和华必为困苦人伸冤，必为穷乏人辨屈。

i know that the lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.

140:13 义人必要称赞你的名。正直人必住在你面前。

surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
