²所以，地虽改变，山虽摇动到海心，Therefore we will not fear, though the earth is transformed and the mountains are toppled into the depths of the seas,

³其中的水虽匉訇翻腾，山虽因海涨而战抖，我们也不害怕。（细拉）though their waters roar and foam and the mountains quake in the surge. Selah

有一道河使神的城欢喜

⁴有一道河，这河的分汊使　神的城欢喜；这城就是至高者居住的圣所。There is a river whose streams delight the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.

²因为耶和华至高者是可畏的；他是治理全地的大君王。How awesome is the LORD Most High, the great King over all the earth!

²锡安山—大君王的城，在北面居高华美，为全地所喜悦。Beautiful in loftiness, the joy of all the earth, like the peaks of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the great King.

众王见了就惊慌逃跑

⁴看哪，众王会合，一同经过。For behold, the kings assembled; they all advanced together.

⁶他们在那里被战兢疼痛抓住，好像产难的妇人一样。Trembling seized them there, anguish like a woman in labor.

⁷神啊，你用东风打破他施的船只。With a wind from the east You wrecked the ships of Tarshish.

⁸我们在万军之耶和华的城中—就是我们　神的城中—所看见的，正如我们所听见的。　神必坚立这城，直到永远。（细拉）As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of the LORD of Hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish her forever. Selah

在殿中想念神的慈爱

⁹神啊，我们在你的殿中想念你的慈爱。Within Your temple, O God, we contemplate Your loving devotion.

周游锡安，传给后代

万民都当听

²无论上流下流，富足贫穷，都当留心听！both low and high, rich and poor alike.

³我口要说智慧的言语；我心要想通达的道理。My mouth will impart wisdom, and the meditation of my heart will bring understanding.

⁴我要侧耳听比喻，用琴解谜语。I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will express my riddle with the harp:

钱财赎不了生命

⁵在患难的日子，奸恶随我脚跟，四面环绕我，我何必惧怕？Why should I fear in times of trouble, when wicked usurpers surround me?

⁶那些倚仗财货自夸钱财多的人，They trust in their wealth and boast in their great riches.

⁷一个也无法赎自己的弟兄，也不能替他将赎价给　神，No man can possibly redeem his brother or pay his ransom to God.

^8–9叫他长远活着，不见朽坏；因为赎他生命的价值极贵，只可永远罢休。For the redemption of his soul is costly, and never can payment suffice, that he should live on forever and not see decay.

¹⁰他必见智慧人死，又见愚顽人和畜类人一同灭亡，将他们的财货留给别人。For it is clear that wise men die, and the foolish and the senseless both perish and leave their wealth to others.

¹¹他们心里思想：他们的家室必永存，住宅必留到万代；他们以自己的名称自己的地。Their graves are their eternal homes—their dwellings for endless generations—even though their lands were their namesakes.

¹²但人居尊贵中不能长久，如同死亡的畜类一样。But a man, despite his wealth, cannot endure; he is like the beasts that perish.

¹³他们行的这道本为自己的愚昧；但他们以后的人还佩服他们的话语。（细拉）This is the fate of the foolish and their followers who endorse their sayings. Selah

¹⁴他们如同羊群派定下阴间；死亡必作他们的牧者。到了早晨，正直人必管辖他们；他们的美容必被阴间所灭，以致无处可存。Like sheep they are destined for Sheol. Death will be their shepherd. The upright will rule them in the morning, and their form will decay in Sheol, far from their lofty abode.

神必救赎我脱离阴间

¹⁵只是　神必救赎我的灵魂脱离阴间的权柄，因他必收纳我。（细拉）But God will redeem my life from Sheol, for He will surely take me to Himself. Selah

见人发财，不要惧怕

¹⁶见人发财、家室增荣的时候，你不要惧怕；Do not be afraid when a man grows rich, when the splendor of his house increases.

¹⁷因为，他死的时候什么也不能带去；他的荣耀不能随他下去。For when he dies, he will carry nothing away; his abundance will not follow him down.

¹⁸他活着的时候，虽然自夸为有福（你若利己，人必夸奖你）；Though in his lifetime he blesses his soul—and men praise you when you prosper—

¹⁹他仍必归到他历代的祖宗那里，永不见光。he will join the generation of his fathers, who will never see the light of day.

²⁰人在尊贵中而不醒悟，就如死亡的畜类一样。A man who has riches without understanding is like the beasts that perish.

以色列失脚，救恩临到外邦人

¹¹我且说，他们失脚是要他们跌倒吗？断乎不是！反倒因他们的过失，救恩便临到外邦人，要激动他们发愤。I ask then, did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Certainly not! However, because of their trespass, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel jealous.

¹²若他们的过失为天下的富足，他们的缺乏为外邦人的富足，何况他们的丰满呢？But if their trespass means riches for the world, and their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their fullness bring!

外邦人的使徒盼望激动同胞

¹³我对你们外邦人说这话；因我是外邦人的使徒，所以敬重（原文是荣耀）我的职分，I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry

¹⁴或者可以激动我骨肉之亲发愤，好救他们一些人。in the hope that I may provoke my own people to jealousy and save some of them.

¹⁵若他们被丢弃，天下就得与　神和好，他们被收纳，岂不是死而复生吗？For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

¹⁶所献的新面若是圣洁，全团也就圣洁了；树根若是圣洁，树枝也就圣洁了。If the first part of the dough is holy, so is the whole batch; if the root is holy, so are the branches.

橄榄树的比喻：不可夸口

¹⁷若有几根枝子被折下来，你这野橄榄得接在其中，一同得着橄榄根的肥汁，Now if some branches have been broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others to share in the nourishment of the olive root,

¹⁸你就不可向旧枝子夸口；若是夸口，当知道不是你托着根，乃是根托着你。do not boast over those branches. If you do, remember this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.

¹⁹你若说，那枝子被折下来是特为叫我接上。You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.”

²⁰不错！他们因为不信，所以被折下来；你因为信，所以立得住；你不可自高，反要惧怕。That is correct: They were broken off because of unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid.

²¹神既不爱惜原来的枝子，也必不爱惜你。For if God did not spare the natural branches, He will certainly not spare you either.

²²可见，　神的恩慈和严厉向那跌倒的人是严厉的，向你是有恩慈的，只要你长久在他的恩慈里；不然，你也要被砍下来。Take notice, therefore, of the kindness and severity of God: severity to those who fell, but kindness to you, if you continue in His kindness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.

²³而且他们若不是长久不信，仍要被接上，因为　神能够把他们重新接上。And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

²⁴你是从那天生的野橄榄上砍下来的，尚且逆着性得接在好橄榄上，何况这本树的枝子，要接在本树上呢！For if you were cut from a wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were grafted into one that is cultivated, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!

以色列全家得救的奥秘

²⁵弟兄们，我不愿意你们不知道这奥秘（恐怕你们自以为聪明），就是以色列人有几分是硬心的，等到外邦人的数目添满了，I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.

²⁶于是以色列全家都要得救。如经上所记：必有一位救主从锡安出来，要消除雅各家的一切罪恶；And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove godlessness from Jacob.

²⁷又说：我除去他们罪的时候，这就是我与他们所立的约。And this is My covenant with them when I take away their sins.”

²⁸就着福音说，他们为你们的缘故是仇敌；就着拣选说，他们为列祖的缘故是蒙爱的。Regarding the gospel, they are enemies on your account; but regarding election, they are loved on account of the patriarchs.

²⁹因为　神的恩赐和选召是没有后悔的。For God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable.

³⁰你们从前不顺服　神，如今因他们的不顺服，你们倒蒙了怜恤。Just as you who formerly disobeyed God have now received mercy through their disobedience,

³¹这样，他们也是不顺服，叫他们因着施给你们的怜恤，现在也就蒙怜恤。so they too have now disobeyed, in order that they too may now receive mercy through the mercy shown to you.

³²因为　神将众人都圈在不顺服之中，特意要怜恤众人。For God has consigned everyone to disobedience so that He may have mercy on everyone.

深哉，神的智慧和知识

³³深哉，　神丰富的智慧和知识！他的判断何其难测！他的踪迹何其难寻！O, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and untraceable His ways!

³⁴谁知道主的心？谁作过他的谋士呢？“Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor?”
