1(亞薩的詩。) 神實在恩待以色列那些清心的人!A Psalm of Asaph. Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.
2至於我,我的腳幾乎;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。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.
13我實在徒然潔淨了我的心,徒然。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
17等我進了 神的,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。Like one waking from a dream, so You, O Lord, awaken and despise their form.
21因而,我心裡發酸,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.
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,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.
