诗篇 140
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
祈求上帝保护
大卫的诗,交给乐长。
140 耶和华啊!
求你拯救我脱离恶人,
保护我脱离残暴之徒。
2 他们心怀叵测,整天挑拨离间。
3 他们的言语恶毒如蛇,
嘴唇有蛇的毒液。(细拉)
4 耶和华啊,
求你使我免遭恶人的毒手,
保护我脱离残暴之徒。
他们图谋害我。
5 傲慢人在我的路上暗设网罗,
布下圈套,挖了陷阱。(细拉)
6 耶和华啊,
我说:“你是我的上帝。”
耶和华啊,求你垂听我的呼求。
7 主耶和华,我大能的拯救者啊,
在战争的日子,你保护我。
8 耶和华啊,
求你不要让恶人的愿望实现,
不要让他们的阴谋得逞,
免得他们狂妄自大。(细拉)
9 愿那些围攻我的人自食恶果。
10 愿火炭落在他们身上,
愿他们被丢进火里,
被抛进深坑,不得翻身。
11 愿毁谤者在地上无法立足,
愿祸患毁灭残暴之徒。
12 我知道耶和华必为贫穷人伸张正义,
为困苦者申冤。
13 义人必赞美你的名,
正直人必活在你面前。
Psalm 140
Contemporary English Version
(A psalm by David for the music leader.)
A Prayer for the Lord's Help
1 Rescue me from cruel
and violent enemies, Lord!
2 They think up evil plans
and always cause trouble.
3 (A) Their words bite deep
like the poisonous fangs
of a snake.
4 Protect me, Lord, from cruel
and brutal enemies,
who want to destroy me.
5 Those proud people have hidden
traps and nets
to catch me as I walk.
6 You, Lord, are my God!
Please listen to my prayer.
7 You have the power to save me,
and you keep me safe
in every battle.
8 Don't let the wicked succeed
in doing what they want,
or else they might never
stop planning evil.
9 They have me surrounded,
but make them the victims
of their own vicious lies.[a]
10 Dump flaming coals on them
and throw them into pits
where they can't climb out.
11 Chase those cruel liars away!
Let trouble hunt them down.
12 Our Lord, I know that you
defend the homeless
and see that the poor
are given justice.
13 Your people will praise you
and will live with you
because they do right.

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.

4 Keep me safe,(G) Lord, from the hands of the wicked;(H)
protect me from the violent,

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,

Psaumes 140
La Bible du Semeur
Délivre-moi des calomniateurs !
140 Au chef de chœur. Psaume de David.
2 O Eternel, ╵délivre-moi ╵des gens mauvais,
préserve-moi ╵des violents !
3 Ils forment dans leur cœur ╵des desseins malveillants.
Jour après jour, ╵ils cherchent des querelles.
4 Leur langue est acérée ╵tout comme celle d’un serpent,
et ils sécrètent sous leurs lèvres ╵du venin de vipère[a].
Pause
5 O Eternel, ╵préserve-moi ╵des griffes du méchant !
Protège-moi ╵des violents,
de ceux qui projettent ma chute.
6 Des arrogants ╵ont disposé des pièges ╵devant mes pas ;
des gens pervers[b] ╵ont tendu leurs filets,
et le long du chemin, ╵ils ont placé des traquenards pour moi.
Pause
7 J’ai dit à l’Eternel : ╵« Tu es mon Dieu ! »
O Eternel, prête attention ╵à mes supplications.
8 O Eternel, Seigneur, ╵toi, mon puissant Sauveur,
tu protèges ma tête ╵au jour de la bataille.
9 O Eternel, ╵n’accorde pas ╵à ces méchants ╵ce qu’ils désirent !
Ne laisse pas ╵leurs projets réussir, ╵car ils triompheraient.
Pause
10 Que sur la tête ╵de ceux qui m’environnent
retombe enfin le mal ╵provoqué par leurs lèvres !
11 Que des charbons ardents ╵soient déversés sur eux !
Que dans le feu, ils soient précipités,
au fond d’un gouffre ╵d’où ils ne pourront plus ╵se relever !
12 Que les mauvaises langues ╵ne se maintiennent pas ╵dans le pays[c] !
Que l’homme violent ╵soit pourchassé sans trêve ╵par le malheur !
13 Je sais que l’Eternel ╵rendra justice aux pauvres
et fera droit ╵aux défavorisés.
14 Alors les justes diront tes louanges.
Les hommes droits ╵habiteront en ta présence.
