詩 篇 140
Chinese Union Version (Traditional)
140 （ 大 衛 的 詩 ， 交 與 伶 長 。 ） 耶 和 華 啊 ， 求 你 拯 救 我 脫 離 凶 惡 的 人 ， 保 護 我 脫 離 強 暴 的 人 ！
2 他 們 心 中 圖 謀 奸 惡 ， 常 常 聚 集 要 爭 戰 。
3 他 們 使 舌 頭 尖 利 如 蛇 ， 嘴 裡 有 虺 蛇 的 毒 氣 。 （ 細 拉 ）
4 耶 和 華 啊 ， 求 你 拯 救 我 脫 離 惡 人 的 手 ， 保 護 我 脫 離 強 暴 的 人 ！ 他 們 圖 謀 推 我 跌 倒 。
5 驕 傲 人 為 我 暗 設 網 羅 和 繩 索 ； 他 們 在 路 旁 鋪 下 網 ， 設 下 圈 套 。 （ 細 拉 ）
6 我 曾 對 耶 和 華 說 ： 你 是 我 的 神 。 耶 和 華 啊 ， 求 你 留 心 聽 我 懇 求 的 聲 音 ！
7 主 ─ 耶 和 華 、 我 救 恩 的 力 量 啊 ， 在 爭 戰 的 日 子 ， 你 遮 蔽 了 我 的 頭 。
8 耶 和 華 啊 ， 求 你 不 要 遂 惡 人 的 心 願 ； 不 要 成 就 他 們 的 計 謀 ， 恐 怕 他 們 自 高 。 （ 細 拉 ）
9 至 於 那 些 昂 首 圍 困 我 的 人 ， 願 他 們 嘴 唇 的 奸 惡 陷 害 （ 原 文 是 遮 蔽 自 己 ） ！
10 願 火 炭 落 在 他 們 身 上 ！ 願 他 們 被 丟 在 火 中 ， 拋 在 深 坑 裡 ， 不 能 再 起 來 。
11 說 惡 言 的 人 在 地 上 必 堅 立 不 住 ； 禍 患 必 獵 取 強 暴 的 人 ， 將 他 打 倒 。
12 我 知 道 耶 和 華 必 為 困 苦 人 伸 冤 ， 必 為 窮 乏 人 辨 屈 。
13 義 人 必 要 稱 讚 你 的 名 ； 正 直 人 必 住 在 你 面 前 。

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.

140 Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
2 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.
3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.
4 Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
5 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.
6 I said unto the Lord, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O Lord.
7 O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
8 Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.
9 As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
10 Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
11 Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
12 I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.
13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
