²至於我，我的腳幾乎失閃；我的腳險些滑跌。But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; my steps had nearly slipped.

³我見惡人和狂傲人享平安就心懷不平。For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

⁴他們死的時候沒有疼痛；他們的力氣卻也壯實。They have no struggle in their death; their bodies are well-fed.

⁵他們不像別人受苦，也不像別人遭災。They are free of the burdens others carry; they are not afflicted like other men.

⁶所以，驕傲如鏈子戴在他們的項上；強暴像衣裳遮住他們的身體。Therefore pride is their necklace; a garment of violence covers them.

⁷他們的眼睛因體胖而凸出；他們所得的，過於心裡所想的。From their prosperity proceeds iniquity; the imaginations of their hearts run wild.

⁸他們譏笑人，憑惡意說欺壓人的話；他們說話自高。They mock and speak with malice; with arrogance they threaten oppression.

⁹他們的口褻瀆上天；他們的舌毀謗全地。They set their mouths against the heavens, and their tongues strut across the earth.

¹⁰所以　神的民歸到這裡，喝盡了滿杯的苦水。So their people return to this place and drink up waters in abundance.

¹¹他們說：　神怎能曉得？至高者豈有知識呢？The wicked say, “How can God know? Does the Most High have knowledge?”

¹²看哪，這就是惡人；他們既是常享安逸，財寶便加增。Behold, these are the wicked—always carefree as they increase their wealth.

我實在徒然潔淨了我的心

¹³我實在徒然潔淨了我的心，徒然洗手表明無辜。Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure; in innocence I have washed my hands.

¹⁴因為，我終日遭災難；每早晨受懲治。For I am afflicted all day long and punished every morning.

¹⁵我若說，我要這樣講，這就是以奸詐待你的眾子。If I had said, “I will speak this way,” then I would have betrayed Your children.

¹⁶我思索怎能明白這事，眼看實係為難，When I tried to understand all this, it was troublesome in my sight

進了神的聖所才明白

¹⁷等我進了　神的聖所，思想他們的結局。until I entered God’s sanctuary; then I discerned their end.

¹⁸你實在把他們安在滑地，使他們掉在沉淪之中。Surely You set them on slick ground; You cast them down into ruin.

¹⁹他們轉眼之間成了何等的荒涼！他們被驚恐滅盡了。How suddenly they are laid waste, completely swept away by terrors!

²⁰人睡醒了，怎樣看夢；主啊，你醒了也必照樣輕看他們的影像。Like one waking from a dream, so You, O Lord, awaken and despise their form.

²¹因而，我心裡發酸，肺腑被刺。When my heart was grieved and I was pierced within,

²²我這樣愚昧無知，在你面前如畜類一般。I was senseless and ignorant; I was a brute beast before You.

除你以外，我還有誰

²³然而，我常與你同在；你攙著我的右手。Yet I am always with You; You hold my right hand.

²⁴你要以你的訓言引導我，以後必接我到榮耀裡。You guide me with Your counsel, and later receive me in glory.

²⁵除你以外，在天上我有誰呢？除你以外，在地上我也沒有所愛慕的。Whom have I in heaven but You? And on earth I desire no one besides You.

²⁶我的肉體和我的心腸衰殘；但　神是我心裡的力量，又是我的福分，直到永遠。My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

²⁷遠離你的，必要死亡；凡離棄你行邪淫的，你都滅絕了。Those far from You will surely perish; You destroy all who are unfaithful to You.

²⁸但我親近　神是與我有益；我以主耶和華為我的避難所，好叫我述說你一切的作為。But as for me, it is good to draw near to God. I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may proclaim all Your works.

神啊，你為何丟棄我們

¹（亞薩的訓誨詩。）　神啊，你為何永遠丟棄我們呢？你為何向你草場的羊發怒，如煙冒出呢？A Maskil of Asaph. Why have You rejected us forever, O God? Why does Your anger smolder against the sheep of Your pasture?

²求你記念你古時所得來的會眾，就是你所贖、作你產業支派的，並記念你向來所居住的錫安山。Remember Your congregation, which You purchased long ago and redeemed as the tribe of Your inheritance—Mount Zion, where You dwell.

³求你舉步去看那日久荒涼之地，仇敵在聖所中所行的一切惡事。Turn Your steps to the everlasting ruins, to everything in the sanctuary the enemy has destroyed.

⁴你的敵人在你會中吼叫；他們豎了自己的旗為記號。Your foes have roared within Your meeting place; they have unfurled their banners as signs,

⁵他們好像人揚起斧子，砍伐林中的樹。like men wielding axes in a thicket of trees

⁶聖所中一切雕刻的，他們現在用斧子錘子打壞了。and smashing all the carvings with hatchets and picks.

⁷他們用火焚燒你的聖所，褻瀆你名的居所，拆毀到地。They have burned Your sanctuary to the ground; they have defiled the dwelling place of Your Name.

⁸他們心裡說：我們要盡行毀滅；他們就在遍地把　神的會所都燒毀了。They said in their hearts, “We will crush them completely.” They burned down every place where God met us in the land.

⁹我們不見我們的標幟，不再有先知；我們內中也沒有人知道這災禍要到幾時呢！There are no signs for us to see. There is no longer any prophet. And none of us knows how long this will last.

¹⁰神啊，敵人辱罵要到幾時呢？仇敵褻瀆你的名要到永遠嗎？How long, O God, will the enemy taunt You? Will the foe revile Your name forever?

¹¹你為甚麼縮回你的右手？求你從懷中伸出來，毀滅他們。Why do You withdraw Your strong right hand? Stretch it out to destroy them!

神自古以來為我的王

¹²神自古以來為我的王，在地上施行拯救。Yet God is my King from ancient times, working salvation on the earth.

¹³你曾用能力將海分開，將水中大魚的頭打破。You divided the sea by Your strength; You smashed the heads of the dragons of the sea;

¹⁴你曾砸碎鱷魚的頭，把牠給曠野的禽獸（禽獸：原文是民）為食物。You crushed the heads of Leviathan; You fed him to the creatures of the desert.

¹⁵你曾分裂磐石，水便成了溪河；你使長流的江河乾了。You broke open the fountain and the flood; You dried up the ever-flowing rivers.

¹⁶白晝屬你，黑夜也屬你；亮光和日頭是你所預備的。The day is Yours, and also the night; You established the moon and the sun.

¹⁷地的一切疆界是你所立的；夏天和冬天是你所定的。You set all the boundaries of the earth; You made the summer and winter.

求你顧念所立的約

¹⁸耶和華啊，仇敵辱罵，愚頑民褻瀆了你的名，求你記念這事。Remember how the enemy has mocked You, O LORD, how a foolish people has spurned Your name.

¹⁹不要將你斑鳩的性命交給野獸；不要永遠忘記你困苦人的性命。Do not deliver the soul of Your dove to beasts; do not forget the lives of Your afflicted forever.

²⁰求你顧念所立的約，因為地上黑暗之處都滿了強暴的居所。Consider Your covenant, for haunts of violence fill the dark places of the land.

²¹不要叫受欺壓的人蒙羞回去；要叫困苦窮乏的人讚美你的名。Do not let the oppressed retreat in shame; may the poor and needy praise Your name.

²²神啊，求你起來為自己伸訴！要記念愚頑人怎樣終日辱罵你。Rise up, O God; defend Your cause! Remember how the fool mocks You all day long.

²³不要忘記你敵人的聲音；那起來敵你之人的喧嘩時常上升。Do not disregard the clamor of Your adversaries, the uproar of Your enemies that ascends continually.

神必按時審判

¹（亞薩的詩歌，交與伶長。調用休要毀壞。）　神啊，我們稱謝你，我們稱謝你！因為你的名相近，人都述說你奇妙的作為。For the choirmaster: To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Psalm of Asaph. A song. We give thanks to You, O God; we give thanks, for Your Name is near. The people declare Your wondrous works.

²我到了所定的日期，必按正直施行審判。“When I choose a time, I will judge fairly.

⁴我對狂傲人說：不要行事狂傲！對凶惡人說：不要舉角！I say to the proud, ‘Do not boast,’ and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn.

⁵不要把你們的角高舉；不要挺著頸項說話。Do not lift up your horn against heaven or speak with an outstretched neck.’”

⁶因為高舉非從東，非從西，也非從南而來。For exaltation comes neither from east nor west, nor out of the desert,

⁷惟有　神斷定；他使這人降卑，使那人升高。but it is God who judges; He brings down one and exalts another.

難道主要永遠丟棄我嗎

⁷難道主要永遠丟棄我，不再施恩嗎？“Will the Lord spurn us forever and never show His favor again?

⁸難道他的慈愛永遠窮盡，他的應許世世廢棄嗎？Is His loving devotion gone forever? Has His promise failed for all time?

⁹難道　神忘記開恩，因發怒就止住他的慈悲嗎？（細拉）Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has His anger shut off His compassion?” Selah

追念神古時的作為

¹¹我要提說耶和華所行的；我要記念你古時的奇事。I will remember the works of the LORD; yes, I will remember Your wonders of old.

¹⁷雲中倒出水來；天空發出響聲；你的箭也飛行四方。The clouds poured down water; the skies resounded with thunder; Your arrows flashed back and forth.

²⁰你曾藉摩西和亞倫的手引導你的百姓，好像羊群一般。You led Your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

不可分黨

¹⁰弟兄們，我藉我們主耶穌基督的名勸你們都說一樣的話。你們中間也不可分黨，只要一心一意，彼此相合。I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree together, so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be united in mind and conviction.

¹¹因為革來氏家裡的人曾對我提起弟兄們來，說你們中間有紛爭。My brothers, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you.

¹²我的意思就是你們各人說：「我是屬保羅的」；「我是屬亞波羅的」；「我是屬磯法的」；「我是屬基督的」。What I mean is this: Individuals among you are saying, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” or “I follow Christ.”

基督是分開的嗎

¹³基督是分開的嗎？保羅為你們釘了十字架嗎？你們是奉保羅的名受了洗嗎？Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into the name of Paul?

¹⁴我感謝　神，除了基利司布並該猶以外，我沒有給你們一個人施洗，I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,

¹⁵免得有人說，你們是奉我的名受洗。so no one can say that you were baptized into my name.

¹⁶我也給司提法那家施過洗，此外給別人施洗沒有，我卻記不清。Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that I do not remember if I baptized anyone else.

¹⁷基督差遣我，原不是為施洗，乃是為傳福音，並不用智慧的言語，免得基督的十字架落了空。For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with words of wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

十字架的道理是神的大能

¹⁸因為十字架的道理，在那滅亡的人為愚拙；在我們得救的人，卻為　神的大能。For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

¹⁹就如經上所記：我要滅絕智慧人的智慧，廢棄聰明人的聰明。For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”

²⁰智慧人在哪裡？文士在哪裡？這世上的辯士在哪裡？　神豈不是叫這世上的智慧變成愚拙嗎？Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

²¹世人憑自己的智慧，既不認識　神，　神就樂意用人所當作愚拙的道理拯救那些信的人；這就是　神的智慧了。For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know Him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.

猶太人要神蹟，希臘人求智慧

²²猶太人是要神蹟，希臘人是求智慧，Jews demand signs and Greeks search for wisdom,

²³我們卻是傳釘十字架的基督，在猶太人為絆腳石，在外邦人為愚拙；but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,

²⁴但在那蒙召的，無論是猶太人、希臘人，基督總為　神的能力，　神的智慧。but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

²⁵因　神的愚拙總比人智慧，　神的軟弱總比人強壯。For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength.

神揀選世上愚拙軟弱的

²⁶弟兄們哪，可見你們蒙召的，按著肉體有智慧的不多，有能力的不多，有尊貴的也不多。Brothers, consider the time of your calling: Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were powerful; not many were of noble birth.

²⁷神卻揀選了世上愚拙的，叫有智慧的羞愧；又揀選了世上軟弱的，叫那強壯的羞愧。But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

²⁸神也揀選了世上卑賤的，被人厭惡的，以及那無有的，為要廢掉那有的，He chose the lowly and despised things of the world, and the things that are not, to nullify the things that are,

²⁹使一切有血氣的，在　神面前一個也不能自誇。so that no one may boast in His presence.

基督成為我們的智慧

³⁰但你們得在基督耶穌裡是本乎　神，　神又使他成為我們的智慧、公義、聖潔、救贖。It is because of Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God: our righteousness, holiness, and redemption.

³¹如經上所記：「誇口的，當指著主誇口。」Therefore, as it is written: “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”
