强敌迫害求耶和华佑护解脱

140 大卫的诗,交于伶长。

耶和华啊,求你拯救我脱离凶恶的人,保护我脱离强暴的人。
他们心中图谋奸恶,常常聚集要争战。
他们使舌头尖利如蛇,嘴里有虺蛇的毒气。(细拉)
耶和华啊,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。
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)
我曾对耶和华说:“你是我的神。”耶和华啊,求你留心听我恳求的声音!
主耶和华,我救恩的力量啊,在争战的日子,你遮蔽了我的头。
耶和华啊,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)
至于那些昂首围困我的人,愿他们嘴唇的奸恶陷害[a]自己。
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。
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。
12 我知道耶和华必为困苦人申冤,必为穷乏人辨屈。
13 义人必要称赞你的名,正直人必住在你面前。

  1. 诗篇 140:9 原文作:遮蔽。

Psalm 140[a]

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

Rescue me,(A) Lord, from evildoers;
    protect me from the violent,(B)
who devise evil plans(C) in their hearts
    and stir up war(D) every day.
They make their tongues as sharp as(E) a serpent’s;
    the poison of vipers(F) is on their lips.[b]

Keep me safe,(G) Lord, from the hands of the wicked;(H)
    protect me from the violent,
    who devise ways to trip my feet.
The arrogant have hidden a snare(I) for me;
    they have spread out the cords of their net(J)
    and have set traps(K) for me along my path.

I say to the Lord, “You are my God.”(L)
    Hear, Lord, my cry for mercy.(M)
Sovereign Lord,(N) my strong deliverer,
    you shield my head in the day of battle.
Do not grant the wicked(O) their desires, Lord;
    do not let their plans succeed.

Those who surround me proudly rear their heads;
    may the mischief of their lips engulf them.(P)
10 May burning coals fall on them;
    may they be thrown into the fire,(Q)
    into miry pits, never to rise.
11 May slanderers not be established in the land;
    may disaster hunt down the violent.(R)

12 I know that the Lord secures justice for the poor(S)
    and upholds the cause(T) of the needy.(U)
13 Surely the righteous will praise your name,(V)
    and the upright will live(W) in your presence.(X)
