Psalms 140

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Rescue me, O LORD, from evil men. Protect me from men of violence,

1 耶和华啊！ 求你拯救我脱离恶人， 保护我脱离残暴之徒。

2 who devise evil in their hearts and stir up war all day long.

2 他们心怀叵测，整天挑起争端。

3 They sharpen their tongues like snakes; the venom of vipers is on their lips. Selah

3 他们的言语恶毒如蛇， 嘴唇有蛇的毒液。（细拉）

4 Guard me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked. Keep me safe from men of violence who scheme to make me stumble.

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 The proud hide a snare for me; the cords of their net are spread along the path, and lures are set out for me. Selah

5 傲慢人在我的路上暗设网罗， 布下圈套，挖了陷阱。（细拉）

6 I say to the LORD, “You are my God.” Hear, O LORD, my cry for help.

6 我对耶和华说：“你是我的上帝。” 耶和华啊，求你垂听我的呼求。

7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, You shield my head in the day of battle.

7 主耶和华，我大能的拯救者啊， 在战争的日子，你护庇我的头。

8 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; do not promote their evil plans, lest they be exalted. Selah

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 May the heads of those who surround me be covered in the trouble their lips have caused.

9 愿那些围攻我的人自食其嘴唇的恶果。

10 May burning coals fall on them; may they be thrown into the fire, into the miry pits, never to rise again.

10 愿火炭落在他们身上， 愿他们被扔进火里， 被抛进深坑，不再兴起。

11 May no slanderer be established in the land; may calamity hunt down the man of violence.

11 愿毁谤者在地上无法立足， 愿祸患毁灭残暴之徒。

12 I know that the LORD upholds justice for the poor and defends the cause of the needy.

12 我知道耶和华必为贫穷人伸张正义， 为困苦者申冤。

13 Surely the righteous will praise Your name; the upright will dwell in Your presence.

13 义人必赞美你的名， 正直人必活在你面前。
