信靠上帝

大衛的詩,交給樂長。

11 我投靠耶和華,
你們怎能對我說:「要像飛鳥一樣逃到山裡。
看啊,惡人彎弓搭箭,
要暗射心地正直的人。
根基若遭毀壞,
義人還能做什麼?」
耶和華在祂的聖殿裡,
坐在天上的寶座上,
放眼巡視,察看世人。
耶和華察驗義人和惡人,
祂憎恨邪惡和殘暴之徒。
祂要把烈焰熊熊的火炭和硫磺降在惡人身上,
用炙熱的風懲罰他們。
因為耶和華是公義的,
祂喜愛公義。
正直的人必見祂的面。

A Statement About Trust in God

For the director of music. Of David.

11 I trust in the Lord for protection.
    So why do you say to me,
    “Fly like a bird to your mountain.
Like hunters, the wicked string their bows.
    They set their arrows on the bowstrings.
They shoot from dark places
    at those who are honest.
When all that is good falls apart,
    what can good people do?”

The Lord is in his holy temple.
    The Lord sits on his throne in heaven.
And he sees what people do.
    He keeps his eye on them.
The Lord tests those who do right.
    But he hates the wicked and those who love to hurt others.
He will send hot coals on the wicked.
    Burning sulfur and a whirlwind is what they will get.
The Lord does what is right, and he loves justice.
    So honest people will see his face.
