< Psalms 94 >
1 The Lord is a God of vengeance! God of vengeance, shine out!
耶和华啊,你是伸冤的 神; 伸冤的 神啊,求你发出光来!
2 Stand up, judge of the earth, and pay back those who are proud what they deserve.
审判世界的主啊,求你挺身而立, 使骄傲人受应得的报应!
3 How long, Lord? How long will the wicked celebrate in triumph?
耶和华啊,恶人夸胜要到几时呢? 要到几时呢?
4 How long will you let them pour out their arrogant words? How long will these evil people go on boasting?
他们絮絮叨叨说傲慢的话; 一切作孽的人都自己夸张。
5 Lord, they crush your people; they oppress those you call your own.
耶和华啊,他们强压你的百姓, 苦害你的产业。
6 They kill widows and foreigners; they murder orphans.
他们杀死寡妇和寄居的, 又杀害孤儿。
7 They say, “The Lord can't see what we're doing. Israel's God doesn't pay any attention to us.”
他们说:耶和华必不看见; 雅各的 神必不思念。
8 Take another look, you stupid people! Fools—when will you ever get the point?
你们民间的畜类人当思想; 你们愚顽人到几时才有智慧呢?
9 Do you think the creator of the ear can't hear? Do you think the maker of the eye can't see?
造耳朵的,难道自己不听见吗? 造眼睛的,难道自己不看见吗?
10 Do you think that the one who punishes nations won't punish you too? Do you think that the one who teaches human beings knowledge doesn't know anything?
管教列邦的,就是叫人得知识的, 难道自己不惩治人吗?
11 The Lord knows the thoughts of human beings—he knows they are pointless.
耶和华知道人的意念是虚妄的。
12 Those you discipline are happy, Lord; those you teach from your Law.
耶和华啊,你所管教、 用律法所教训的人是有福的!
13 You give them peace in days of trouble, until a pit is dug to trap the wicked.
你使他在遭难的日子得享平安; 惟有恶人陷在所挖的坑中。
14 For the Lord will not give up on his people; he will not abandon his own.
因为耶和华必不丢弃他的百姓, 也不离弃他的产业。
15 Justice will once again be based on what is right; those who are sincere will support it.
审判要转向公义; 心里正直的,必都随从。
16 Who came to my defense against the wicked; who stood up for me against those who do evil?
谁肯为我起来攻击作恶的? 谁肯为我站起抵挡作孽的?
17 If the Lord hadn't helped me, I would have soon gone down into the silence of the grave.
若不是耶和华帮助我, 我就住在寂静之中了。
18 I shouted out, “My foot's slipping!” and your trustworthy love, Lord, kept me from falling.
我正说我失了脚, 耶和华啊,那时你的慈爱扶助我。
19 When my mind was full of worries, you comforted me and encouraged me.
我心里多忧多疑, 你安慰我,就使我欢乐。
20 Can unjust judges really be on your side, Lord, when their corrupt use of the law causes misery?
那借着律例架弄残害、 在位上行奸恶的,岂能与你相交吗?
21 They work together to destroy good people; they condemn those who are innocent to death.
他们大家聚集攻击义人, 将无辜的人定为死罪。
22 But the Lord protects me like a fortress; my God is the rock that keeps me safe.
但耶和华向来作了我的高台; 我的 神作了我投靠的磐石。
23 He will turn the wickedness of evil people back upon them; he will destroy them because of their sins; the Lord our God will destroy them.
他叫他们的罪孽归到他们身上。 他们正在行恶之中,他要剪除他们; 耶和华—我们的 神要把他们剪除。
