根基毀壞時仍投靠神

¹（大衛的詩，交與伶長。）我是投靠耶和華；你們怎麼對我說：你當像鳥飛往你的山去。For the choirmaster. Of David. In the LORD I take refuge. How then can you say to me: “Flee like a bird to your mountain!

²看哪，惡人彎弓，把箭搭在弦上，要在暗中射那心裡正直的人。For behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrow on the string to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.

³根基若毀壞，義人還能做甚麼呢？If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”

耶和華在聖殿裡察看

⁴耶和華在他的聖殿裡；耶和華的寶座在天上；他的慧眼察看世人。The LORD is in His holy temple; the LORD is on His heavenly throne. His eyes are watching closely; they examine the sons of men.

⁵耶和華試驗義人；惟有惡人和喜愛強暴的人，他心裡恨惡。The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked; His soul hates the lover of violence.

⁶他要向惡人密布網羅；有烈火、硫磺、熱風，作他們杯中的分。On the wicked He will rain down fiery coals and sulfur; a scorching wind will be their portion.

⁷因為耶和華是公義的，他喜愛公義；正直人必得見他的面。For the LORD is righteous; He loves justice. The upright will see His face.

虔誠人斷絕了

¹（大衛的詩，交與伶長。調用第八。）耶和華啊，求你幫助，因虔誠人斷絕了；世人中間的忠信人沒有了。For the choirmaster. According to Sheminith. A Psalm of David. Help, O LORD, for the godly are no more; the faithful have vanished from among men.

²人人向鄰舍說謊；他們說話，是嘴唇油滑，心口不一。They lie to one another; they speak with flattering lips and a double heart.

³凡油滑的嘴唇和誇大的舌頭，耶和華必要剪除。May the LORD cut off all flattering lips and every boastful tongue.

⁴他們曾說：我們必能以舌頭得勝；我們的嘴唇是我們自己的，誰能作我們的主呢？They say, “With our tongues we will prevail. We own our lips—who can be our master?”

耶和華純淨的言語

⁵耶和華說：因為困苦人的冤屈和貧窮人的歎息，我現在要起來，把他安置在他所切慕的穩妥之地。“For the cause of the oppressed and for the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says the LORD. “I will bring safety to him who yearns.”

⁶耶和華的言語是純淨的言語，如同銀子在泥爐中煉過七次。The words of the LORD are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace, like gold purified sevenfold.

⁷耶和華啊，你必保護他們；你必保佑他們永遠脫離這世代的人。You, O LORD, will keep us; You will forever guard us from this generation.

⁸下流人在世人中升高，就有惡人到處遊行。The wicked wander freely, and vileness is exalted among men.

要到幾時呢

¹（大衛的詩，交與伶長。）耶和華啊，你忘記我要到幾時呢？要到永遠嗎？你掩面不顧我要到幾時呢？For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?

²我心裡籌算，終日愁苦，要到幾時呢？我的仇敵升高壓制我，要到幾時呢？How long must I wrestle in my soul, with sorrow in my heart each day? How long will my enemy dominate me?

³耶和華─我的　神啊，求你看顧我，應允我！使我眼目光明，免得我沉睡至死；Consider me and respond, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death,

⁴免得我的仇敵說：我勝了他；免得我的敵人在我搖動的時候喜樂。lest my enemy say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes rejoice when I fall.

但我倚靠你的慈愛

⁵但我倚靠你的慈愛；我的心因你的救恩快樂。But I have trusted in Your loving devotion; my heart will rejoice in Your salvation.

⁶我要向耶和華歌唱，因他用厚恩待我。I will sing to the LORD, for He has been good to me.

愚頑人說沒有神

¹（大衛的詩，交與伶長。）愚頑人心裡說：沒有　神。他們都是邪惡，行了可憎惡的事；沒有一個人行善。For the choirmaster. Of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; their acts are vile. There is no one who does good.

²耶和華從天上垂看世人，要看有明白的沒有，有尋求　神的沒有。The LORD looks down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if any understand, if any seek God.

³他們都偏離正路，一同變為污穢；並沒有行善的，連一個也沒有。All have turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

神在義人的族類中

⁴作孽的都沒有知識嗎？他們吞吃我的百姓，如同吃飯一樣，並不求告耶和華。Will the workers of iniquity never learn? They devour my people like bread; they refuse to call upon the LORD.

⁵他們在那裡大大地害怕，因為　神在義人的族類中。There they are, overwhelmed with dread, for God is in the company of the righteous.

⁶你們叫困苦人的謀算變為羞辱；然而耶和華是他的避難所。You sinners frustrate the plans of the oppressed, yet the LORD is their shelter.

⁷但願以色列的救恩從錫安而出。耶和華救回他被擄的子民那時，雅各要快樂，以色列要歡喜。Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion! When the LORD restores His captive people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad!

誰能住在你的聖山

¹（大衛的詩。）耶和華啊，誰能寄居你的帳幕？誰能住在你的聖山？A Psalm of David. O LORD, who may abide in Your tent? Who may dwell on Your holy mountain?

²就是行為正直、做事公義、心裡說實話的人。He who walks with integrity and practices righteousness, who speaks the truth from his heart,

³他不以舌頭讒謗人，不惡待朋友，也不隨夥毀謗鄰里。who has no slander on his tongue, who does no harm to his neighbor, who casts no scorn on his friend,

⁴他眼中藐視匪類，卻尊重那敬畏耶和華的人。他發了誓，雖然自己吃虧也不更改。who despises the vile but honors those who fear the LORD, who does not revise a costly oath,

⁵他不放債取利，不受賄賂以害無辜。行這些事的人必永不動搖。who lends his money without interest and refuses a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.

你是我的主

¹（大衛的金詩。）　神啊，求你保佑我，因為我投靠你。A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge.

²我的心哪，你曾對耶和華說：你是我的主；我的好處不在你以外。I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from You I have no good thing.”

³論到世上的聖民，他們又美又善，是我最喜悅的。As for the saints in the land, they are the excellence in whom all my delight resides.

⁴以別神代替耶和華的（或譯：送禮物給別神的），他們的愁苦必加增；他們所澆奠的血我不獻上；我嘴唇也不提別神的名號。Sorrows will multiply to those who chase other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood, or speak their names with my lips.

⁵耶和華是我的產業，是我杯中的分；我所得的，你為我持守。The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You have made my lot secure.

⁶用繩量給我的地界，坐落在佳美之處；我的產業實在美好。The lines of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places; surely my inheritance is delightful.

不叫你的聖者見朽壞

⁷我必稱頌那指教我的耶和華；我的心腸在夜間也警戒我。I will bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night my conscience instructs me.

⁸我將耶和華常擺在我面前，因他在我右邊，我便不致搖動。I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

⁹因此，我的心歡喜，我的靈（原文是榮耀）快樂；我的肉身也要安然居住。Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell securely.

¹⁰因為你必不將我的靈魂撇在陰間，也不叫你的聖者見朽壞。For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay.

求你聽我的祈禱

¹（大衛的祈禱。）耶和華啊，求你聽聞公義，側耳聽我的呼籲！求你留心聽我這不出於詭詐嘴唇的祈禱！A prayer of David. Hear, O LORD, my righteous plea; listen to my cry. Give ear to my prayer—it comes from lips free of deceit.

²願我的判語從你面前發出；願你的眼睛觀看公正。May my vindication come from Your presence; may Your eyes see what is right.

³你已經試驗我的心；你在夜間鑒察我；你熬煉我，卻找不著甚麼；我立志叫我口中沒有過失。You have tried my heart; You have visited me in the night. You have tested me and found no evil; I have resolved not to sin with my mouth.

⁴論到人的行為，我藉著你嘴唇的言語自己謹守，不行強暴人的道路。As for the deeds of men—by the word of Your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent.

⁵我的腳踏定了你的路徑；我的兩腳未曾滑跌。My steps have held to Your paths; my feet have not slipped.

將我隱藏在你翅膀的蔭下

⁶神啊，我曾求告你，因為你必應允我；求你向我側耳，聽我的言語。I call on You, O God, for You will answer me. Incline Your ear to me; hear my words.

我必在義中見你的面

¹³耶和華啊，求你起來，前去迎敵，將他打倒！用你的刀救護我命脫離惡人。Arise, O LORD, confront them! Bring them to their knees; deliver me from the wicked by Your sword,

¹⁴耶和華啊，求你用手救我脫離世人，脫離那只在今生有福分的世人！你把你的財寶充滿他們的肚腹；他們因有兒女就心滿意足，將其餘的財物留給他們的嬰孩。from such men, O LORD, by Your hand—from men of the world whose portion is in this life. May You fill the bellies of Your treasured ones and satisfy their sons, so they leave their abundance to their children.

¹⁵至於我，我必在義中見你的面；我醒了的時候，得見（或譯：著）你的形像就心滿意足了。As for me, I will behold Your face in righteousness; when I awake, I will be satisfied in Your presence.

罪和死從一人入了世界

¹²這就如罪是從一人入了世界，死又是從罪來的；於是死就臨到眾人，因為眾人都犯了罪。Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned.

¹³沒有律法之先，罪已經在世上；但沒有律法，罪也不算罪。For sin was in the world before the law was given; but sin is not taken into account when there is no law.

¹⁴然而從亞當到摩西，死就作了王，連那些不與亞當犯一樣罪過的，也在他的權下。亞當乃是那以後要來之人的預像。Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not sin in the way that Adam transgressed. He is a pattern of the One to come.

過犯不如恩賜

¹⁵只是過犯不如恩賜，若因一人的過犯，眾人都死了，何況　神的恩典，與那因耶穌基督一人恩典中的賞賜，豈不更加倍地臨到眾人嗎？But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many!

¹⁶因一人犯罪就定罪，也不如恩賜，原來審判是由一人而定罪，恩賜乃是由許多過犯而稱義。Again, the gift is not like the result of the one man’s sin: The judgment that followed one sin brought condemnation, but the gift that followed many trespasses brought justification.

¹⁷若因一人的過犯，死就因這一人作了王，何況那些受洪恩又蒙所賜之義的，豈不更要因耶穌基督一人在生命中作王嗎？For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!

一次的義行使眾人稱義

¹⁸如此說來，因一次的過犯，眾人都被定罪；照樣，因一次的義行，眾人也就被稱義得生命了。So then, just as one trespass brought condemnation for all men, so also one act of righteousness brought justification and life for all men.

¹⁹因一人的悖逆，眾人成為罪人；照樣，因一人的順從，眾人也成為義了。For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

罪顯多，恩典更顯多

²⁰律法本是外添的，叫過犯顯多；只是罪在哪裡顯多，恩典就更顯多了。The law came in so that the trespass would increase; but where sin increased, grace increased all the more,

²¹就如罪作王叫人死；照樣，恩典也藉著義作王，叫人因我們的主耶穌基督得永生。so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
