诗篇 140
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
祈求 神保护脱离恶人阴谋
大卫的诗，交给诗班长。
140 耶和华啊！求你拯救我脱离恶人，
求你保护我脱离强暴的人。
2 他们心中图谋恶事，
整天挑启争端。
3 他们使自己的舌头尖利，如同蛇的舌头；
他们嘴里有虺蛇的毒。（细拉）
4 耶和华啊！求你保护我脱离恶人的手，
保护我脱离强暴的人，
因为他们图谋推倒我。
5 骄傲的人暗中布下陷阱害我，
他们在路旁张开绳索作网，
设下圈套陷害我。（细拉）
6 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！”
7 主耶和华，拯救我的力量啊，
在争战的日子，你保护了我的头。
8 耶和华啊！求你不要容恶人的心愿得偿，
不要使他们的计谋成功，
免得他们自高自大。（细拉）
9 至于那些围困我的人，
愿他们的头被自己嘴唇的奸恶遮盖。
10 愿炭火落在他们身上；
愿他们掉在深坑里，
不能再起来。
11 愿搬弄是非的人在地上站立不住；
愿灾祸连连猎取强暴的人。
12 我知道耶和华必为困苦人伸冤，
必替穷乏人辨屈。
13 义人必称赞你的名，
正直的人必住在你面前。

Rescue Me, O Yahweh, from Evil Men
For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
140 (A)Rescue me, O Yahweh, from evil men;
Guard me from (B)violent men
2 Who (C)think up evil things in their hearts;
They (D)continually stir up wars.
3 They (E)sharpen their tongues as a serpent;
(F)Poison of an asp is under their lips. [a]Selah.
4 (G)Keep me, O Yahweh, from the hands of the wicked;
(H)Guard me from violent men
Who [b]give thought to [c](I)trip up my steps.
5 The proud have (J)hidden a trap for me, and cords;
They have spread a (K)net by the [d]wayside;
They have set (L)snares for me. Selah.
6 I (M)said to Yahweh, “You are my God;
(N)Give ear, O Yahweh, to the (O)voice of my supplications.
7 O Yahweh, O Lord, (P)the strength of my salvation,
You have (Q)covered my head in the day of [e]battle.
8 Do not grant, O Yahweh, the (R)desires of the wicked;
Do not promote (S)his evil [f]scheme, that they not be exalted. Selah.
9 “As for the head of those who surround me,
May the (T)trouble from their lips cover them.
10 May (U)burning coals be shaken out upon them;
May He (V)cause them to fall into the fire,
Into [g]bottomless pits from which they (W)can never rise.
11 May a [h]slanderer not be established in the earth;
(X)May evil hunt the violent man [i]speedily.”
12 I know that Yahweh will (Y)maintain the cause for the afflicted
And (Z)judgment for the needy.
13 Surely the (AA)righteous will give thanks to Your name;
The (AB)upright will abide in Your presence.

Prayer for Help in the Face of Enemies
For the music director. A psalm of David.[a]
140 Rescue me, O Yahweh, from evil men.[b]
Preserve me from violent men,
2 who plan evil things in their heart.
They stir up wars continually.
3 They sharpen their tongue as sharp as a snake’s;
the venom of a viper is under their lips. Selah
4 Protect me, O Yahweh, from the hands of the wicked.
Preserve me from violent men,
who have planned to make me stumble.[c]
5 The proud have hidden a trap for me, and cords.
They have spread out a net along the side[d] of the path.
They have set snares for me. Selah
6 I say to Yahweh, “You are my God.”
Listen, O Yahweh, to the voice of my supplications.
7 O Yahweh, my Lord, the strength of my salvation,
you have covered my head in the day of battle.
8 Do not grant, O Yahweh, the desires of the wicked.
Do not allow them to attain their[e] plan, lest they be exalted. Selah
9 With respect to the head of those who surround me,
may the harm of their lips cover them.
10 Let burning coals fall on them;
let them be dropped into the fire,
into bottomless pits from which they cannot rise.
11 Do not let a slanderer[f] be established in the land;
as for the man of violence, let evil hunt him quickly.
12 I know[g] that Yahweh will maintain the cause of the afflicted,
and justice for the needy.
13 Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name;
the upright will dwell in your presence.
