诗篇 140
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
大卫的诗。交给圣咏团长。
求耶和华护佑
140 耶和华啊，求你救我脱离邪恶的人，
保护我脱离残暴的人！
2 他们心中图谋奸恶，
日日不停挑起战争。
3 他们的舌头锐利如蛇，
嘴唇里有毒蛇的毒液。（细拉）
4 耶和华啊，求你庇护我脱离恶人的手，
保护我脱离残暴的人，他们想要推倒我。
5 骄傲的人为我暗设罗网和绳索；
他们在路旁张开网，为我设下圈套。（细拉）
6 我曾对耶和华说：“你是我的 神。”
耶和华啊，求你侧耳听我恳求的声音！
7 主—耶和华、我救恩的力量啊，
在战争的日子，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，免得他们自高。（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 愿他们被丢在火中，火炭落在他们身上；
愿他们被抛在深坑里，不能再起来！
11 愿说恶言的人在地上站立不住；
愿祸患猎取残暴的人，把他打倒。
12 我知道耶和华必为困苦人伸冤，
为贫穷人辩护。
13 义人必颂扬你的名，
正直人要在你面前居住。

Psalm 140
EasyEnglish Bible
This is a song that David wrote.
It is for the music leader.
Please help me, Lord
140 Lord, please save me from evil people.
Keep me safe from people who like to attack others.
2 They think of evil ideas to hurt people.
They only want to cause trouble!
3 Their words hurt people,
like the tongue of a snake.
They bite with poison,
like a dangerous snake.
Selah
4 Lord, keep me safe from the power of wicked people.
Keep me safe from violent people who want to attack me.
5 Proud people have prepared a trap to catch me.
They have put their nets across my path.[a]
Selah.
6 Lord, I say to you, ‘You are my God.’
Lord, hear my prayer for help!
7 Lord, my Lord, you are my strong helper.
You keep me safe when I fight in a battle.
8 Lord, do not let wicked people do what they want to do.
Stop them when they prepare to attack.
Selah.
9 Give trouble to the people who come round me to attack!
Let the bad things that they say against me
happen to them instead![b]
10 Drop burning coals on them like rain!
Throw those people into the fire!
Let them fall into deep holes that they cannot get out of!
11 People who tell cruel lies should not live in our land.
Trouble will happen to people who like to fight.
Bad trouble will knock them down!
12 I know that the Lord helps poor people.
He makes sure that they receive justice.
13 Your righteous people will always praise you.
Good, honest people will live near to you.
