< Psalms 94 >

1 A Psalm of David for the fourth [day] of the week. The Lord is a God of vengeance; the God of vengeance has declared himself.
耶和華啊,你是伸冤的上帝; 伸冤的上帝啊,求你發出光來!
2 Be you exalted, you that judge the earth: render a reward to the proud.
審判世界的主啊,求你挺身而立, 使驕傲人受應得的報應!
3 How long shall sinners, O Lord, how long shall sinners boast?
耶和華啊,惡人誇勝要到幾時呢? 要到幾時呢?
4 They will utter and speak unrighteousness; all the workers of iniquity will speak [so].
他們絮絮叨叨說傲慢的話; 一切作孽的人都自己誇張。
5 They have afflicted your people, O Lord, and hurt your heritage.
耶和華啊,他們強壓你的百姓, 苦害你的產業。
6 They have slain the widow and fatherless, and murdered the stranger.
他們殺死寡婦和寄居的, 又殺害孤兒。
7 And they said, The Lord shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob understand.
他們說:耶和華必不看見; 雅各的上帝必不思念。
8 Understand now, you simple amongst the people; and you fools, at length be wise.
你們民間的畜類人當思想; 你們愚頑人到幾時才有智慧呢?
9 He that planted the ear, does he not hear? or he that formed the eye, does not he perceive?
造耳朵的,難道自己不聽見嗎? 造眼睛的,難道自己不看見嗎?
10 He that chastises the heathen, shall not he punish, [even] he that teaches man knowledge?
管教列邦的,就是叫人得知識的, 難道自己不懲治人嗎?
11 The Lord knows the thoughts of men, that they are vain.
耶和華知道人的意念是虛妄的。
12 Blessed is the man whoever you shall chasten, O Lord, and shall teach him out of your law;
耶和華啊,你所管教、 用律法所教訓的人是有福的!
13 to give him rest from evil days, until a pit be digged for the sinful one.
你使他在遭難的日子得享平安; 惟有惡人陷在所挖的坑中。
14 For the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance;
因為耶和華必不丟棄他的百姓, 也不離棄他的產業。
15 until righteousness return to judgement, and all the upright in heart shall follow it. (Pause)
審判要轉向公義; 心裏正直的,必都隨從。
16 Who will rise up for me against the transgressors? or who will stand up with me against the workers of iniquity?
誰肯為我起來攻擊作惡的? 誰肯為我站起抵擋作孽的?
17 If the Lord had not helped me, my soul had almost sojourned in Hades.
若不是耶和華幫助我, 我就住在寂靜之中了。
18 If I said, My foot has been moved;
我正說我失了腳, 耶和華啊,那時你的慈愛扶助我。
19 your mercy, O Lord, helped me. O Lord, according to the multitude of my griefs within my heart, your consolation have soothed my soul.
我心裏多憂多疑, 你安慰我,就使我歡樂。
20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with you, which frames mischief by an ordinance?
那藉着律例架弄殘害、 在位上行奸惡的,豈能與你相交嗎?
21 They will hunt for the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.
他們大家聚集攻擊義人, 將無辜的人定為死罪。
22 But the Lord was my refuge; and my God the helper of my hope.
但耶和華向來作了我的高臺; 我的上帝作了我投靠的磐石。
23 And he will recompense to them their iniquity and their wickedness: the Lord our God shall utterly destroy them.
他叫他們的罪孽歸到他們身上。 他們正在行惡之中,他要剪除他們; 耶和華-我們的上帝要把他們剪除。
