< Psalms 94 >
1 LORD, you God to whom vengeance belongs, you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth.
耶和華啊,你是伸冤的上帝; 伸冤的上帝啊,求你發出光來!
2 Rise up, you judge of the earth. Pay back the proud what they deserve.
審判世界的主啊,求你挺身而立, 使驕傲人受應得的報應!
3 LORD, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked triumph?
耶和華啊,惡人誇勝要到幾時呢? 要到幾時呢?
4 They pour out arrogant words. All the evildoers boast.
他們絮絮叨叨說傲慢的話; 一切作孽的人都自己誇張。
5 They break your people in pieces, LORD, and afflict your heritage.
耶和華啊,他們強壓你的百姓, 苦害你的產業。
6 They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless.
他們殺死寡婦和寄居的, 又殺害孤兒。
7 They say, "The LORD will not see, neither will Jacob's God consider."
他們說:耶和華必不看見; 雅各的上帝必不思念。
8 Consider, you senseless among the people; you fools, when will you 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 who implanted the ear, won't he hear? He who formed the eye, won't he see?
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 who disciplines the nations, won't he punish? He who teaches man knows.
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 man, that they are futile.
耶和華知道人的意念是虛妄的。
12 Blessed is the man whom you discipline, LORD, and teach 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 that you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked.
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 won't reject 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 For judgment will return to righteousness. All the upright in heart shall follow it.
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 wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?
誰肯為我起來攻擊作惡的? 誰肯為我站起抵擋作孽的?
17 Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul would have soon lived in silence.
若不是耶和華幫助我, 我就住在寂靜之中了。
18 When I said, "My foot is slipping." Your loving kindness, LORD, held me up.
我正說我失了腳, 耶和華啊,那時你的慈愛扶助我。
19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul.
我心裏多憂多疑, 你安慰我,就使我歡樂。
20 Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute?
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 gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the 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 has been my high tower, my God, the rock of my refuge.
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 He has brought on them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own wickedness. The LORD, our God, will cut them off.
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。
