诗篇 26-28
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
义人的祈求
大卫的诗。
26 耶和华啊，求你为我申冤，
因为我行为纯全，
毫不动摇地信靠你。
2 耶和华啊，求你察验我，
试炼我，鉴察我的心思意念。
3 因为我铭记你的慈爱，
我行在你的真理中。
4 我没有与诡诈者为伍，
没有跟虚伪之人同流。
5 我憎恨奸恶之辈，
不愿与恶人交往。
6 耶和华啊，我洗手表明清白，
再走到你的坛前，
7 高唱感恩之歌，
述说你的一切奇妙作为。
8 耶和华啊，我爱你的殿，
你荣耀充满的地方。
9 别把我的灵魂和罪人同毁，
别把我的性命与嗜血之徒同灭。
10 他们满腹奸计，收受贿赂。
11 但我行为纯全，
求你施恩拯救我。
12 我站在平安之地，
我要在众人面前赞美耶和华。
赞美的祷告
大卫的诗。
27 耶和华是我的光，我的拯救，
我还怕谁？
耶和华是我的堡垒，
我还怕谁？
2 当恶人来吞吃我，
仇敌来攻击我时，
必失足跌倒。
3 虽然大军围攻我，
我心中却一无所惧；
虽然战争来临，我仍满怀信心。
4 我曾向耶和华求一件事，
我还要求，就是能一生住在祂的殿中，
瞻仰祂的荣美，寻求祂的旨意。
5 危难之时，祂保护我，
把我藏在祂的圣幕里，
高高地安置在磐石上。
6 我要昂首面对四围的敌人，
我要在祂的圣幕里欢呼献祭，
歌颂赞美祂。
7 耶和华啊，求你垂听我的呼求，
求你恩待我，应允我。
8 你说：“来寻求我！”
我心中响应：
“耶和华啊，我要寻求你。”
9 别掩面不理我，
别愤然拒绝你的仆人，
你一向是我的帮助。
拯救我的上帝啊，
别离开我，别撇弃我。
10 纵使父母离弃我，
耶和华也必收留我。
11 耶和华啊，
求你指教我行你的道，
引导我走正路，远离仇敌。
12 求你不要让仇敌抓到我，
遂其所愿，
因为他们诬告我，恐吓我。
13 我深信今世必能看见耶和华的美善。
14 要等候耶和华，
要坚定不移地等候耶和华。
祈求上帝帮助
大卫的诗。
28 耶和华啊，我呼求你；
我的磐石啊，别不理我。
你若默然不语，
我必绝望而死。
2 我向你呼求，
向你的至圣所举手祷告时，
求你垂听。
3 求你不要把我与奸恶人一同责罚，
他们对邻居口蜜腹剑。
4 求你使他们罪有应得，
按他们的恶行，
按他们手上的罪恶报应他们。
5 他们既然毫不在意耶和华的作为和祂的创造，
祂必永远毁灭他们。
6 耶和华当受称颂！
因为祂听了我的恳求。
7 祂是我的力量，我的盾牌，
我信靠祂，就得帮助。
我的心欢喜雀跃，
我要歌唱赞美祂。
8 耶和华是祂子民的力量，
是祂膏立者得救的堡垒。
9 耶和华啊，
求你拯救你的子民，
赐福给你拣选的人，
如牧人般照顾他们，
永远扶持他们。
Psalm 26-28
New King James Version
A Prayer for Divine Scrutiny and Redemption
A Psalm of David.
26 Vindicate (A)me, O Lord,
For I have (B)walked in my integrity.
(C)I have also trusted in the Lord;
I shall not slip.
2 (D)Examine me, O Lord, and [a]prove me;
Try my mind and my heart.
3 For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes,
And (E)I have walked in Your truth.
4 I have not (F)sat with idolatrous mortals,
Nor will I go in with hypocrites.
5 I have (G)hated the assembly of evildoers,
And will not sit with the wicked.
6 I will wash my hands in innocence;
So I will go about Your altar, O Lord,
7 That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving,
And tell of all Your wondrous works.
8 Lord, (H)I have loved the habitation of Your house,
And the place [b]where Your glory dwells.
9 (I)Do[c] not gather my soul with sinners,
Nor my life with bloodthirsty men,
10 In whose hands is a sinister scheme,
And whose right hand is full of (J)bribes.
11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity;
Redeem me and be merciful to me.
12 (K)My foot stands in an even place;
In the congregations I will bless the Lord.
An Exuberant Declaration of Faith
A Psalm of David.
27 The Lord is my (L)light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The (M)Lord is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked came against me
To (N)eat[d] up my flesh,
My enemies and foes,
They stumbled and fell.
3 (O)Though an army may encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear;
Though war may rise against me,
In this I will be confident.
4 (P)One thing I have desired of the Lord,
That will I seek:
That I may (Q)dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life,
To behold the [e]beauty of the Lord,
And to inquire in His temple.
5 For (R)in the time of trouble
He shall hide me in His pavilion;
In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me;
He shall (S)set me high upon a rock.
6 And now (T)my head shall be [f]lifted up above my enemies all around me;
Therefore I will offer sacrifices of [g]joy in His tabernacle;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.
7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice!
Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When You said, “Seek My face,”
My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”
9 (U)Do not hide Your face from me;
Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
You have been my help;
Do not leave me nor forsake me,
O God of my salvation.
10 (V)When my father and my mother forsake me,
Then the Lord will take care of me.
11 (W)Teach me Your way, O Lord,
And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.
12 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries;
For (X)false witnesses have risen against me,
And such as breathe out violence.
13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the Lord
(Y)In the land of the living.
14 (Z)Wait[h] on the Lord;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord!
Rejoicing in Answered Prayer
A Psalm of David.
28 To You I will cry, O Lord my Rock:
(AA)Do not be silent to me,
(AB)Lest, if You are silent to me,
I become like those who go down to the pit.
2 Hear the voice of my supplications
When I cry to You,
(AC)When I lift up my hands (AD)toward Your holy sanctuary.
3 Do not [i]take me away with the wicked
And with the workers of iniquity,
(AE)Who speak peace to their neighbors,
But evil is in their hearts.
4 (AF)Give them according to their deeds,
And according to the wickedness of their endeavors;
Give them according to the work of their hands;
Render to them what they deserve.
5 Because (AG)they do not regard the works of the Lord,
Nor the operation of His hands,
He shall destroy them
And not build them up.
6 Blessed be the Lord,
Because He has heard the voice of my supplications!
7 The Lord is (AH)my strength and my shield;
My heart (AI)trusted in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,
And with my song I will praise Him.
8 The Lord is [j]their strength,
And He is the (AJ)saving refuge of His [k]anointed.
9 Save Your people,
And bless (AK)Your inheritance;
Shepherd them also,
(AL)And bear them up forever.

使徒行传 22
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
22 “各位父老兄弟，请听我解释！” 2 在场的人听见保罗讲的是希伯来话，更加安静了。保罗说： 3 “我是犹太人，生于基利迦的大数，在耶路撒冷长大，曾在迦玛列门下严格地按着我们祖先的律法接受教育，像你们今日一样热心事奉上帝。 4 我曾经把信奉这道的男女信徒抓进监狱，迫害他们，置他们于死地。 5 大祭司和众长老都可以为我作证。我还拿着他们写给大马士革的犹太人的信去拘捕那里的信徒，押回耶路撒冷受刑。
6 “当我快到大马士革的时候，大约中午时分，突然从天上有一道强光四面照着我。 7 我就扑倒在地，听见有声音对我说，‘扫罗！扫罗！你为什么迫害我？’ 8 我回答说，‘主啊，你是谁？’他说，‘我就是你迫害的拿撒勒人耶稣！’ 9 我的同伴虽然也看见那道强光，却听不懂那位说话者的声音。 10 接着我又问，‘主啊！我该怎么办？’主说，‘起来，到大马士革去，那里会有人将指派给你的事告诉你。’
11 “那道耀眼的光照得我双眼失明，于是同行的人拉着我的手，带我进了大马士革。 12 那里有一个严守律法的虔诚人名叫亚拿尼亚，深受当地所有犹太人的尊敬。 13 他来探望我，站在我身边说，‘扫罗弟兄，重见光明吧！’就在那一刻，我抬头看见了他。 14 他又说，‘我们祖先的上帝拣选了你，要你明白祂的旨意，又让你亲自看见那位公义者、听到祂的声音。 15 因为你将做祂的见证人，把所见所闻告诉万民。 16 现在你还等什么呢？起来求告祂的名，接受洗礼，洗净你的罪。’
17 “后来，我回到耶路撒冷，在圣殿里祷告的时候，进入异象， 18 看见主对我说，‘赶快离开耶路撒冷，因为这里的人不会接受你为我做的见证。’ 19 我说，‘主啊！他们都知道我从前搜遍各会堂，逮捕、毒打信你的人。 20 当你的见证人司提凡为你流血殉道时，我自己也站在旁边赞同杀他的人，还替他们保管衣服。’ 21 主却对我说，‘去吧！我要差遣你到遥远的外族人那里。’”
因罗马公民身份而免刑
22 众人一听到这里，就高喊：“从世上除掉这样的人！他不配活着！” 23 百姓咆哮着脱掉外衣，扬起尘土。 24 千夫长下令把保罗押回营房，预备鞭打拷问他，要查出众人向他咆哮的缘由。 25 他们把保罗绑起来正要鞭打，保罗问旁边的百夫长：“未经定罪就拷打罗马公民合法吗？”
26 百夫长一听，立刻去禀告千夫长说：“你看该怎么办？这人是罗马公民。”
27 千夫长就来问保罗：“告诉我，你是罗马公民吗？”
保罗说：“是的。”
28 千夫长说：“我花了很多钱才当上罗马公民！”
保罗说：“我生来就是。”
29 那些准备拷问保罗的士兵立刻退下了。千夫长也害怕起来，因为发现保罗是罗马公民，他却下令捆绑了保罗。
保罗在公会申辩
30 第二天，千夫长想知道保罗被犹太人指控的真相，就为保罗松了绑，并招聚了祭司长和全公会的人，然后将保罗带来，让他站在众人面前。
Acts 22
New King James Version
Paul’s Defense at Jerusalem
22 “Brethren(A) and fathers, hear my defense before you now.” 2 And when they heard that he spoke to them in the (B)Hebrew language, they kept all the more silent.
Then he said: 3 (C)“I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city (D)at the feet of (E)Gamaliel, taught (F)according to the strictness of our fathers’ law, and (G)was zealous toward God (H)as you all are today. 4 (I)I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women, 5 as also the high priest bears me witness, and (J)all the council of the elders, (K)from whom I also received letters to the brethren, and went to Damascus (L)to bring in chains even those who were there to Jerusalem to be punished.
6 “Now (M)it happened, as I journeyed and came near Damascus at about noon, suddenly a great light from heaven shone around me. 7 And I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?’ 8 So I answered, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And He said to me, ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.’
9 “And (N)those who were with me indeed saw the light [a]and were afraid, but they did not hear the voice of Him who spoke to me. 10 So I said, ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ And the Lord said to me, ‘Arise and go into Damascus, and there you will be told all things which are appointed for you to do.’ 11 And since I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of those who were with me, I came into Damascus.
12 “Then (O)a certain Ananias, a devout man according to the law, (P)having a good testimony with all the (Q)Jews who dwelt there, 13 came to me; and he stood and said to me, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight.’ And at that same hour I looked up at him. 14 Then he said, (R)‘The God of our fathers (S)has chosen you that you should (T)know His will, and (U)see the Just One, (V)and hear the voice of His mouth. 15 (W)For you will be His witness to all men of (X)what you have seen and heard. 16 And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, (Y)and wash away your sins, (Z)calling on the name of the Lord.’
17 “Now (AA)it happened, when I returned to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, that I was in a trance 18 and (AB)saw Him saying to me, (AC)‘Make haste and get out of Jerusalem quickly, for they will not receive your testimony concerning Me.’ 19 So I said, ‘Lord, (AD)they know that in every synagogue I imprisoned and (AE)beat those who believe on You. 20 (AF)And when the blood of Your martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by (AG)consenting [b]to his death, and guarding the clothes of those who were killing him.’ 21 Then He said to me, ‘Depart, (AH)for I will send you far from here to the Gentiles.’ ”
Paul’s Roman Citizenship
22 And they listened to him until this word, and then they raised their voices and said, (AI)“Away with such a fellow from the earth, for (AJ)he is not fit to live!” 23 Then, as they cried out and [c]tore off their clothes and threw dust into the air, 24 the commander ordered him to be brought into the barracks, and said that he should be examined under scourging, so that he might know why they shouted so against him. 25 And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said to the centurion who stood by, (AK)“Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and uncondemned?”
26 When the centurion heard that, he went and told the commander, saying, “Take care what you do, for this man is a Roman.”
27 Then the commander came and said to him, “Tell me, are you a Roman?”
He said, “Yes.”
28 The commander answered, “With a large sum I obtained this citizenship.”
And Paul said, “But I was born a citizen.”
29 Then immediately those who were about to examine him withdrew from him; and the commander was also afraid after he found out that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.
The Sanhedrin Divided
30 The next day, because he wanted to know for certain why he was accused by the Jews, he released him from his bonds, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down and set him before them.
