诗篇 140
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)

强敌迫害求耶和华佑护解脱

140 大卫的诗，交于伶长。

1 耶和华啊，求你拯救我脱离凶恶的人，保护我脱离强暴的人。
2 他们心中图谋奸恶，常常聚集要争战。
3 他们使舌头尖利如蛇，嘴里有虺蛇的毒气。（细拉）
4 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。
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）
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，我救恩的力量啊，在争战的日子，你遮蔽了我的头。
8 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）
9 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。

Psalm 140

For the choir director: A psalm of David.

1 O Lord, rescue me from evil people.
    Protect me from those who are violent,
2 those who plot evil in their hearts
    and stir up trouble all day long.
3 Their tongues sting like a snake;
    the venom of a viper drips from their lips. Interlude

4 O Lord, keep me out of the hands of the wicked.
    Protect me from those who are violent,
    for they are plotting against me.
5 The proud have set a trap to catch me;
    they have stretched out a net;
    they have placed traps all along the way. Interlude

6 I said to the Lord, “You are my God!”
    Listen, O Lord, to my cries for mercy!
7 O Sovereign Lord, the strong one who rescued me,
    you protected me on the day of battle.
8 Lord, do not let evil people have their way.
    Do not let their evil schemes succeed,
    or they will become proud. Interlude

9 Let my enemies be destroyed
    by the very evil they have planned for me.
10 Let burning coals fall down on their heads.
    Let them be thrown into the fire
    or into watery pits from which they can’t escape.
11 Don’t let liars prosper here in our land.
    Cause great disasters to fall on the violent.

12 But I know the Lord will help those they persecute;
    he will give justice to the poor.
13 Surely righteous people are praising your name;
    the godly will live in your presence.

Psalm 140
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

Psalm 140[a]

Prayer for Deliverance from the Wicked

1 For the leader. A psalm of David.

I

2 Deliver me, Lord, from the wicked;
    preserve me from the violent,(A)
3 From those who plan evil in their hearts,
    who stir up conflicts every day,
4 [b]Who sharpen their tongue like a serpent,
    venom of asps upon their lips.(B)
Selah

II

5 Keep me, Lord, from the clutches of the wicked;
    preserve me from the violent,
    who plot to trip me up.(C)
6 [c]The arrogant have set a trap for me;
    they have spread out ropes for a net,
    laid snares for me by the wayside.
Selah
7 I say to the Lord: You are my God;(D)
    listen, Lord, to the words of my pleas.
8 Lord, my master, my strong deliverer,
    you cover my head on the day of armed conflict.
9 Lord, do not grant the desires of the wicked one;
    do not let his plot succeed.
Selah

III

10 Those who surround me raise their heads;
    may the mischief they threaten overwhelm them.
11 Drop burning coals upon them;(E)
    cast them into the watery pit never more to rise.

12 Slanderers will not survive on earth;
    evil will hunt down the man of violence to overthrow him.
13 For I know the Lord will take up the cause of the needy,
    justice for the poor.
14 Then the righteous will give thanks to your name;
    the upright will dwell in your presence.(F)

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 140 A lament seeking rescue from violent and treacherous foes (Ps 140:2–6). The psalmist remains trusting (Ps 140:7–8), vigorously praying that the plans of the wicked recoil upon themselves (Ps 140:9–12). A serene statement of praise ends the Psalm (Ps 140:13). The psalmist is content to be known as one of “the needy,” “the poor,” “the just,” “the upright” (Ps 140:13), a class of people expecting divine protection.
  2. 140:4 Similar metaphors for a wicked tongue are used in Ps 52:2; 55:20; 58:3.
  3. 140:6 Have set a trap…have spread out ropes for a net: the same figure, of hunters setting traps, occurs in Ps 9:16; 31:5; 35:7; 64:6, cf. Mt 22:15; Lk 11:54.

New International Version

Psalm 140[a]

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

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

4 Keep me safe,(G) Lord, from the hands of the wicked;(H)
    protect me from the violent,
    who devise ways to trip my feet.
5 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.

6 I say to the Lord, “You are my God.”(L)
    Hear, Lord, my cry for mercy.(M)
7 Sovereign Lord,(N) my strong deliverer,
    you shield my head in the day of battle.

    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)
