| | 1 | 〔大衛的詩。〕耶和華阿、我曾求告你．求你快快臨到我這裡．我求告你的時候、願你留心聽我的聲音。
A psalm of David. O LORD, I call to you; come quickly to me. Hear my voice when I call to you. | |
| | 2 | 願我的禱告、如香陳列在你面前．願我舉手祈求、如獻晚祭。
May my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice. | |
| | 3 | 耶和華阿、求你禁止我的口、把守我的嘴。
Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips. | |
| | 4 | 求你不叫我的心、偏向邪惡、以致我和作孽的人同行惡事．也不叫我喫他們的美食。
Let not my heart be drawn to what is evil, to take part in wicked deeds with men who are evildoers; let me not eat of their delicacies. | |
| | 5 | 任憑義人擊打我、這算為仁慈．任憑他責備我、這算為頭上的膏油．我的頭不要躲閃。正在他們行惡的時候、我仍要祈禱。
Let a righteous man strike me--it is a kindness; let him rebuke me--it is oil on my head. My head will not refuse it. Yet my prayer is ever against the deeds of evildoers; | |
| | 6 | 他們的審判官、被扔在巖下．眾人要聽我的話、因為這話甘甜。
their rulers will be thrown down from the cliffs, and the wicked will learn that my words were well spoken. | |
| | 7 | 我們的骨頭、散在墓旁、好像人耕田、刨地的土塊。
They will say,"As one plows and breaks up the earth, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of the grave." | |
| | 8 | 主耶和華阿、我的眼目仰望你．我投靠你、求你不要將我撇得孤苦。
But my eyes are fixed on you, O Sovereign LORD; in you I take refuge--do not give me over to death. | |
| | 9 | 求你保護我脫離惡人為我設的網羅、和作孽之人的圈套。
Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, from the traps set by evildoers. | |
| | 10 | 願惡人落在自己的網裡．我卻得以逃脫。
Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety. | |
