< Psalms 36 >
1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David the servant of Yahweh. An evil man speaks of his transgression from deep in his heart, there is no fear of God in his eyes.
耶和華的僕人大衛的詩,交與伶長。 惡人的罪過在他心裏說: 我眼中不怕上帝!
2 For he comforts himself, thinking that his sin will not be discovered and be hated.
他自誇自媚, 以為他的罪孽終不顯露,不被恨惡。
3 His words are sinful and deceitful; he does not want to be wise and do good.
他口中的言語盡是罪孽詭詐; 他與智慧善行已經斷絕。
4 While he lies in bed, he plans ways to sin; he sets out on an evil way; he does not reject evil.
他在床上圖謀罪孽, 定意行不善的道,不憎惡惡事。
5 Your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, reaches to the heavens; your loyalty reaches to the clouds.
耶和華啊,你的慈愛上及諸天; 你的信實達到穹蒼。
6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judgments are like the great deep. Yahweh, you preserve both mankind and the animals.
你的公義好像高山; 你的判斷如同深淵。 耶和華啊,人民、牲畜,你都救護。
7 How precious is your covenant faithfulness, God! Humanity takes refuge under the shadow of your wings.
上帝啊,你的慈愛何其寶貴! 世人投靠在你翅膀的蔭下。
8 They feast upon the abundance of your house; you let them drink from the river of your delights.
他們必因你殿裏的肥甘得以飽足; 你也必叫他們喝你樂河的水。
9 For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we will see light.
因為,在你那裏有生命的源頭; 在你的光中,我們必得見光。
10 Extend your covenant faithfulness fully to those who know you, your defense to the upright of heart.
願你常施慈愛給認識你的人, 常以公義待心裏正直的人。
11 Do not let the foot of the arrogant man come near to me. Do not let the hand of the wicked drive me away.
不容驕傲人的腳踐踏我; 不容凶惡人的手趕逐我。
12 Over there the evildoers have fallen; they are knocked down and are not able to get up.
在那裏,作孽的人已經仆倒; 他們被推倒,不能再起來。
