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。
他们心怀叵测,整天挑拨离间。
他们的言语恶毒如蛇,
嘴唇有蛇的毒液。(细拉)

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。
傲慢人在我的路上暗设网罗,
布下圈套,挖了陷阱。(细拉)

耶和华啊,
我说:“你是我的上帝。”
耶和华啊,求你垂听我的呼求。
主耶和华,我大能的拯救者啊,
在战争的日子,你保护我。
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)

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。

祈求 神保護脫離惡人陰謀

大衛的詩,交給詩班長。

140 耶和華啊!求你拯救我脫離惡人,

求你保護我脫離強暴的人。

他們心中圖謀惡事,

整天挑啟爭端。

他們使自己的舌頭尖利,如同蛇的舌頭;

他們嘴裡有虺蛇的毒。(細拉)

耶和華啊!求你保護我脫離惡人的手,

保護我脫離強暴的人,

因為他們圖謀推倒我。

驕傲的人暗中布下陷阱害我,

他們在路旁張開繩索作網,

設下圈套陷害我。(細拉)

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!”

主耶和華,拯救我的力量啊,

在爭戰的日子,你保護了我的頭。

耶和華啊!求你不要容惡人的心願得償,

不要使他們的計謀成功,

免得他們自高自大。(細拉)

至於那些圍困我的人,

願他們的頭被自己嘴唇的奸惡遮蓋。

10 願炭火落在他們身上;

願他們掉在深坑裡,

不能再起來。

11 願搬弄是非的人在地上站立不住;

願災禍連連獵取強暴的人。

12 我知道耶和華必為困苦人伸冤,

必替窮乏人辨屈。

13 義人必稱讚你的名,

正直的人必住在你面前。

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)

  1. Psalm 140:1 In Hebrew texts 140:1-13 is numbered 140:2-14.
  2. Psalm 140:3 The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here and at the end of verses 5 and 8.

140 Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;

Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.

They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.

Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.

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.

I said unto the Lord, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O Lord.

O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.

Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.

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.

Prayer for Deliverance from Evil Men

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

140 Deliver me, O Lord, from evil men;
Preserve me from violent men,
Who plan evil things in their hearts;
(A)They continually gather together for war.
They sharpen their tongues like a serpent;
The (B)poison of asps is under their lips. Selah

(C)Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
Preserve me from violent men,
Who have purposed to make my steps stumble.
The proud have hidden a (D)snare for me, and cords;
They have spread a net by the wayside;
They have set traps for me. Selah

I said to the Lord: “You are my God;
Hear the voice of my supplications, O Lord.
O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation,
You have [a]covered my head in the day of battle.
Do not grant, O Lord, the desires of the wicked;
Do not further his wicked scheme,
(E)Lest they be exalted. Selah

As for the head of those who surround me,
Let the evil of their lips cover them;
10 (F)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 a slanderer be established in the earth;
Let evil hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

12 I know that the Lord will (G)maintain
The cause of the afflicted,
And justice for the poor.
13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks to Your name;
The upright shall dwell in Your presence.
