Psalm 141
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
Psalm 141
Prayer for Preservation from Evil
A Psalm of David.
1 I call upon you, O Lord; come quickly to me;
give ear to my voice when I call to you.
2 Let my prayer be counted as incense before you,
and the lifting up of my hands as an evening sacrifice.
3 Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord;
keep watch over the door of my lips.
4 Do not turn my heart to any evil,
to busy myself with wicked deeds
in company with those who work iniquity;
do not let me eat of their delicacies.
5 Let the righteous strike me;
let the faithful correct me.
Never let the oil of the wicked anoint my head,[a]
for my prayer is continually[b] against their wicked deeds.
6 When they are given over to those who shall condemn them,
then they shall learn that my words were pleasant.
7 Like a rock that one breaks apart and shatters on the land,
so shall their bones be strewn at the mouth of Sheol.[c]
8 But my eyes are turned towards you, O God, my Lord;
in you I seek refuge; do not leave me defenceless.
9 Keep me from the trap that they have laid for me,
and from the snares of evildoers.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
while I alone escape.

诗篇 141
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
祈求 神幫助免陷罪惡
大衛的詩。
141 耶和華啊!我呼求你,
求你快來幫助我;
我呼求你的時候,求你留心聽我的聲音。(本節在《馬索拉文本》包括細字標題)
2 願我的禱告好像香安放在你面前;
願我的手高舉好像獻晚祭。
3 耶和華啊!求你看守我的口,
把守我的嘴。
4 求你不要容我的心偏向惡事,
免得我和作孽的人一同行惡,
也不要使我吃他們的美食。
5 願義人擊打我,這是出於慈愛;
願他責備我,這是膏我頭的膏油,
我的頭不會拒絕。
我仍要為惡人的惡行禱告。
6 他們的官長被摔在山崖下的時候,
他們就要聽我的話,因為我的話甘美。
7 他們說:“我們的骨頭被拋散在墓旁,
好像人犁田鋤地時掘起的土塊。”
8 主耶和華啊!我的眼睛仰望你;
我投靠你,求你不要使我喪命。
9 求你保護我脫離惡人為我所設的網羅,
和作孽的人的圈套。
10 願惡人都落在自己的網羅裡,
我卻得以安然逃脫。
