求耶和华拯救惩罚其敌

35 大卫的诗。

耶和华啊,与我相争的,求你与他们相争;与我相战的,求你与他们相战。
拿着大小的盾牌,起来帮助我;
抽出枪来,挡住那追赶我的。求你对我的灵魂说:“我是拯救你的!”
愿那寻索我命的,蒙羞受辱;愿那谋害我的,退后羞愧。
愿他们像风前的糠,有耶和华的使者赶逐他们。
愿他们的道路又暗又滑,有耶和华的使者追赶他们。
因他们无故地为我暗设网罗,无故地挖坑要害我的性命。
愿灾祸忽然临到他身上,愿他暗设的网缠住自己,愿他落在其中遭灾祸。
我的心必靠耶和华快乐,靠他的救恩高兴。
10 我的骨头都要说:“耶和华啊,谁能像你,救护困苦人脱离那比他强壮的,救护困苦穷乏人脱离那抢夺他的?”
11 凶恶的见证人起来,盘问我所不知道的事。
12 他们向我以恶报善,使我的灵魂孤苦。
13 至于我,当他们有病的时候,我便穿麻衣,禁食刻苦己心,我所求的都归到自己的怀中。
14 我这样行,好像他是我的朋友,我的弟兄;我屈身悲哀,如同人为母亲哀痛。
15 我在患难中,他们却欢喜,大家聚集。我所不认识的那些下流人聚集攻击我,他们不住地把我撕裂。
16 他们如同席上好戏笑的狂妄人,向我咬牙。
17 主啊,你看着不理要到几时呢?求你救我的灵魂脱离他们的残害,救我的生命[a]脱离少壮狮子。
18 我在大会中要称谢你,在众民中要赞美你。
19 求你不容那无理与我为仇的向我夸耀,不容那无故恨我的向我挤眼。
20 因为他们不说和平话,倒想出诡诈的言语,害地上的安静人。
21 他们大大张口攻击我,说:“啊哈!啊哈!我们的眼已经看见了!”
22 耶和华啊,你已经看见了,求你不要闭口。主啊,求你不要远离我。
23 我的神我的主啊,求你奋兴醒起,判清我的事,申明我的冤。
24 耶和华我的神啊,求你按你的公义判断我,不容他们向我夸耀。
25 不容他们心里说:“阿哈!遂我们的心愿了!”不容他们说:“我们已经把他吞了!”
26 愿那喜欢我遭难的一同抱愧蒙羞,愿那向我妄自尊大的披惭愧,蒙羞辱。
27 愿那喜悦我冤屈得申[b]的欢呼快乐,愿他们常说:“当尊耶和华为大,耶和华喜悦他的仆人平安。”
28 我的舌头要终日论说你的公义,时常赞美你。

恶人之罪恶

36 耶和华的仆人大卫的诗,交于伶长。

恶人的罪过,在他心里说:“我眼中不怕神。”
他自夸自媚,以为他的罪孽终不显露,不被恨恶。
他口中的言语尽是罪孽诡诈,他与智慧善行已经断绝。
他在床上图谋罪孽,定意行不善的道,不憎恶恶事。

神之慈爱

耶和华啊,你的慈爱上及诸天,你的信实达到穹苍。

你的公义好像高山,你的判断如同深渊。耶和华啊,人民、牲畜你都救护。
神啊,你的慈爱何其宝贵,世人投靠在你翅膀的荫下。
他们必因你殿里的肥甘得以饱足,你也必叫他们喝你乐河的水。
因为在你那里有生命的源头,在你的光中我们必得见光。
10 愿你常施慈爱给认识你的人,常以公义待心里正直的人。
11 不容骄傲人的脚践踏我,不容凶恶人的手赶逐我。
12 在那里,作孽的人已经仆倒,他们被推倒,不能再起来。

求上帝申冤

大卫的诗。

35 耶和华啊,
求你与我的敌人为敌,
攻击那些攻击我的人。
求你拿起大小盾牌来帮助我,
举起矛枪攻击追赶我的人。
求你对我说:
“我是你的拯救。”
愿谋杀我的人蒙羞受辱,
谋害我的人落荒而逃!
愿耶和华的天使驱散他们,
如风吹散糠秕!
愿他们的道路漆黑泥泞,
有耶和华的天使在后追赶!
因为他们无故设网罗,
挖陷阱要害我。
愿他们突遭祸患,
作茧自缚,自食恶果!
我要因耶和华而欢欣,
因祂的拯救而快乐。
10 我从心底发出赞叹:
耶和华啊,谁能像你?
你拯救弱者免受欺压,
拯救穷人免遭掠夺。
11 恶人诬告我,
盘问我毫无所知的事情。
12 他们对我以恶报善,
令我伤心欲绝。
13 他们生病时,
我披上麻衣,
谦卑地为他们禁食祷告,
但上帝没有垂听。
14 我为他们哀伤,
视他们为朋友、弟兄;
我低头为他们哭泣,
如同哀悼自己的母亲。
15 我遭遇患难时,
他们却聚在一起幸灾乐祸,
合伙诽谤我。
素不相识的人也群起攻击我,
不住地毁谤我。
16 他们肆无忌惮地嘲弄我,
咬牙切齿地憎恶我。

17 耶和华啊,
你袖手旁观要到何时?
求你救我的性命免遭残害,
救我脱离这些狮子。
18 我要在大会中称谢你,
在众人面前赞美你。
19 求你不要让无故攻击我的人幸灾乐祸,
不要让无故恨我的人沾沾自喜。
20 他们言语暴戾,
谋害安分守己的人。
21 他们高喊:“哈哈!哈哈!
我们亲眼看见了。”
22 耶和华啊,这一切你都看见了,
求你不要再缄默,不要远离我。
23 我的上帝,我的主啊,
求你起来为我辩护,为我申冤。
24 我的上帝耶和华啊,
求你按你的公义宣告我无罪,
别让他们幸灾乐祸。
25 别让他们说:
“哈哈,我们如愿以偿了!”
别让他们说:
“我们除掉他了!”
26 愿幸灾乐祸的人蒙羞受辱,
自高自大的人无地自容!
27 愿盼望我冤屈得雪的人扬声欢呼!
愿他们常说:“耶和华当受尊崇!
祂乐意赐福给自己的仆人。”
28 我要诉说你的公义,
终日赞美你。

人的邪恶与上帝的美善

耶和华的仆人大卫的诗,交给乐长。

36 罪恶在恶人内心深处说话,
他们眼中毫无对上帝的畏惧。
他们自以为是,浑然不知自己的罪,
也不憎恶自己的罪。
他们满口恶言谎话,
毫无智慧和善行。
他们躺在床上盘算作恶,
执意走罪恶的道路,
无恶不作。
耶和华啊,你的慈爱广及诸天,
你的信实高达穹苍。
你的公义稳如高山,
你的判断深不可测。
耶和华啊,你保护人类,
也保护牲畜。
上帝啊,
你的慈爱无比宝贵!
世人都在你的翅膀下寻求荫庇。
你让他们饱享你殿里的美食,
畅饮你乐河中的水。
因为你是生命的泉源,
在你的光中我们得见光明。

10 求你常施慈爱给认识你的人,
以公义恩待心地正直的人。
11 别让骄傲人的脚践踏我,
别让凶恶人的手驱赶我。
12 看啊!恶人已经摔倒在地,
再也爬不起来。

Psalm 35

Of David.

Contend,(A) Lord, with those who contend with me;
    fight(B) against those who fight against me.
Take up shield(C) and armor;
    arise(D) and come to my aid.(E)
Brandish spear(F) and javelin[a](G)
    against those who pursue me.
Say to me,
    “I am your salvation.(H)

May those who seek my life(I)
    be disgraced(J) and put to shame;(K)
may those who plot my ruin
    be turned back(L) in dismay.
May they be like chaff(M) before the wind,
    with the angel of the Lord(N) driving them away;
may their path be dark and slippery,
    with the angel of the Lord pursuing them.

Since they hid their net(O) for me without cause(P)
    and without cause dug a pit(Q) for me,
may ruin overtake them by surprise—(R)
    may the net they hid entangle them,
    may they fall into the pit,(S) to their ruin.
Then my soul will rejoice(T) in the Lord
    and delight in his salvation.(U)
10 My whole being will exclaim,
    “Who is like you,(V) Lord?
You rescue the poor from those too strong(W) for them,
    the poor and needy(X) from those who rob them.”

11 Ruthless witnesses(Y) come forward;
    they question me on things I know nothing about.
12 They repay me evil for good(Z)
    and leave me like one bereaved.
13 Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth(AA)
    and humbled myself with fasting.(AB)
When my prayers returned to me unanswered,
14     I went about mourning(AC)
    as though for my friend or brother.
I bowed my head in grief
    as though weeping for my mother.
15 But when I stumbled, they gathered in glee;(AD)
    assailants gathered against me without my knowledge.
    They slandered(AE) me without ceasing.
16 Like the ungodly they maliciously mocked;[b](AF)
    they gnashed their teeth(AG) at me.

17 How long,(AH) Lord, will you look on?
    Rescue me from their ravages,
    my precious life(AI) from these lions.(AJ)
18 I will give you thanks in the great assembly;(AK)
    among the throngs(AL) I will praise you.(AM)
19 Do not let those gloat over me
    who are my enemies(AN) without cause;
do not let those who hate me without reason(AO)
    maliciously wink the eye.(AP)
20 They do not speak peaceably,
    but devise false accusations(AQ)
    against those who live quietly in the land.
21 They sneer(AR) at me and say, “Aha! Aha!(AS)
    With our own eyes we have seen it.”

22 Lord, you have seen(AT) this; do not be silent.
    Do not be far(AU) from me, Lord.
23 Awake,(AV) and rise(AW) to my defense!
    Contend(AX) for me, my God and Lord.
24 Vindicate me in your righteousness, Lord my God;
    do not let them gloat(AY) over me.
25 Do not let them think, “Aha,(AZ) just what we wanted!”
    or say, “We have swallowed him up.”(BA)

26 May all who gloat(BB) over my distress(BC)
    be put to shame(BD) and confusion;
may all who exalt themselves over me(BE)
    be clothed with shame and disgrace.
27 May those who delight in my vindication(BF)
    shout for joy(BG) and gladness;
may they always say, “The Lord be exalted,
    who delights(BH) in the well-being of his servant.”(BI)

28 My tongue will proclaim your righteousness,(BJ)
    your praises all day long.(BK)

Psalm 36[c]

For the director of music. Of David the servant of the Lord.

I have a message from God in my heart
    concerning the sinfulness of the wicked:[d](BL)
There is no fear(BM) of God
    before their eyes.(BN)

In their own eyes they flatter themselves
    too much to detect or hate their sin.(BO)
The words of their mouths(BP) are wicked and deceitful;(BQ)
    they fail to act wisely(BR) or do good.(BS)
Even on their beds they plot evil;(BT)
    they commit themselves to a sinful course(BU)
    and do not reject what is wrong.(BV)

Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens,
    your faithfulness(BW) to the skies.(BX)
Your righteousness(BY) is like the highest mountains,(BZ)
    your justice like the great deep.(CA)
    You, Lord, preserve both people and animals.(CB)
How priceless is your unfailing love, O God!(CC)
    People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.(CD)
They feast on the abundance of your house;(CE)
    you give them drink from your river(CF) of delights.(CG)
For with you is the fountain of life;(CH)
    in your light(CI) we see light.

10 Continue your love(CJ) to those who know you,(CK)
    your righteousness to the upright in heart.(CL)
11 May the foot of the proud not come against me,
    nor the hand of the wicked(CM) drive me away.
12 See how the evildoers lie fallen—
    thrown down, not able to rise!(CN)

犹太人的控告和央求

25 非斯都到了任,过了三天,就从恺撒利亚耶路撒冷去。 祭司长和犹太人的首领向他控告保罗 又央告他,求他的情将保罗提到耶路撒冷来,他们要在路上埋伏杀害他。 非斯都却回答说:“保罗押在恺撒利亚,我自己快要往那里去。” 又说:“你们中间有权势的人与我一同下去,那人若有什么不是,就可以告他。”

保罗上控恺撒

非斯都在他们那里住了不过十天八天,就下恺撒利亚去。第二天坐堂,吩咐将保罗提上来。 保罗来了,那些从耶路撒冷下来的犹太人周围站着,将许多重大的事控告他,都是不能证实的。 保罗分诉说:“无论犹太人的律法或是圣殿,或是恺撒,我都没有干犯。” 非斯都要讨犹太人的喜欢,就问保罗说:“你愿意上耶路撒冷去,在那里听我审断这事吗?” 10 保罗说:“我站在恺撒的堂前,这就是我应当受审的地方。我向犹太人并没有行过什么不义的事,这也是你明明知道的。 11 我若行了不义的事,犯了什么该死的罪,就是死,我也不辞。他们所告我的事若都不实,就没有人可以把我交给他们。我要上告于恺撒。” 12 非斯都和议会商量了,就说:“你既上告于恺撒,可以往恺撒那里去。”

亚基帕要听保罗

13 过了些日子,亚基帕王和百妮基氏来到恺撒利亚,问非斯都安。 14 在那里住了多日,非斯都保罗的事告诉王,说:“这里有一个人,是腓力斯留在监里的。 15 我在耶路撒冷的时候,祭司长和犹太的长老将他的事禀报了我,求我定他的罪。 16 我对他们说,无论什么人,被告还没有和原告对质,未得机会分诉所告他的事,就先定他的罪,这不是罗马人的条例。 17 及至他们都来到这里,我就不耽延,第二天便坐堂,吩咐把那人提上来。 18 告他的人站着告他,所告的,并没有我所逆料的那等恶事。 19 不过是有几样辩论,为他们自己敬鬼神的事,又为一个人名叫耶稣,是已经死了,保罗却说他是活着的。 20 这些事当怎样究问,我心里作难,所以问他说:‘你愿意上耶路撒冷去,在那里为这些事听审吗?’ 21 保罗求我留下他,要听皇上审断,我就吩咐把他留下,等我解他到恺撒那里去。” 22 亚基帕非斯都说:“我自己也愿听这人辩论。”非斯都说:“明天你可以听。”

23 第二天,亚基帕百妮基大张威势而来,同着众千夫长和城里的尊贵人进了公厅。非斯都吩咐一声,就有人将保罗带进来。 24 非斯都说:“亚基帕王和在这里的诸位啊,你们看这人,就是一切犹太人在耶路撒冷和这里曾向我恳求、呼叫说:‘不可容他再活着!’ 25 但我查明他没有犯什么该死的罪,并且他自己上告于皇帝,所以我定意把他解去。 26 论到这人,我没有确实的事可以奏明主上。因此,我带他到你们面前,也特意带他到你亚基帕王面前,为要在查问之后有所陈奏。 27 据我看来,解送囚犯不指明他的罪案是不合理的。”

保罗在非斯都面前申辩

25 非斯都上任三天后,便从凯撒利亚启程上耶路撒冷。 祭司长和犹太人的首领向他控告保罗, 恳求他将保罗押回耶路撒冷,他们想在途中埋伏杀害保罗。 非斯都却拒绝道:“保罗现在关押在凯撒利亚,我很快会回到那里。 让你们的首领跟我一起去吧,如果那人有什么过犯,可以在那里告他。”

非斯都在耶路撒冷只逗留了十天八天,便返回了凯撒利亚。第二天,他开庭审讯,命人将保罗带上来。 保罗被带来后,那些从耶路撒冷下来的犹太人站在他周围,指控他犯了各样严重的罪,但是都没有证据。 保罗为自己辩护说:“我从来没有违背犹太律法,亵渎圣殿或反叛凯撒!” 非斯都为了讨好犹太人,就对保罗说:“你是否愿意回耶路撒冷接受我的审讯?”

10 保罗说:“我此刻正站在凯撒的法庭上,这就是我应该受审的地方。你很清楚,我并没有做过什么对不起犹太人的事。 11 如果我做错了,犯了该死的罪,我决不逃避!但他们对我的指控毫无根据,谁也不能把我交给他们。我要向凯撒上诉!”

12 非斯都和议会商讨后,说:“你说要上诉凯撒,就去见凯撒吧!”

非斯都请教亚基帕王

13 过了几天,亚基帕王和百妮姬一起到凯撒利亚问候非斯都。 14 他们在那里住了多日,非斯都对王提起保罗的案子,说:“我这里有一个囚犯,是前任总督腓利斯留下来的。 15 上次我去耶路撒冷的时候,犹太人的祭司长和长老控告他,要求我定他的罪。 16 我告诉他们,按照罗马人的规矩,被告还没有跟原告对质和自辩之前,不能定他的罪。 17 后来他们跟我一起来到这里,我没有耽误,第二天就开庭,吩咐把那人带出来审讯。 18 他们都站起来当面指控他,但所告的并非我料想的罪行, 19 不过是关于他们的宗教和一个叫耶稣的人的一些争论。耶稣已经死了,保罗却说他仍然活着。 20 我不知如何审理这些事情,就问被告是否愿意上耶路撒冷受审。 21 但保罗请求留下来,听皇帝定夺,所以我下令仍然扣留他,等着送交凯撒。”

22 亚基帕对非斯都说:“我想亲自听听他的申诉。”

非斯都说:“你明天就会听到。”

23 第二天,亚基帕和百妮姬在众千夫长和城中达官贵人的陪同下,声势浩大地进了法庭。非斯都下令把保罗带上来后, 24 说:“亚基帕王和在座的各位,你们看,就是这个人,所有的犹太人在这里和耶路撒冷都请求我处死他。 25 但我发现他并没有犯什么该死的罪。既然他要向皇帝上诉,我决定把他押去。 26 只是关于这个人,我没有确切的事由可以奏明皇帝[a]。所以,我把他带到各位面前,特别是亚基帕王面前,以便在审讯之后,我可以有所陈奏。 27 因为在我看来,解送犯人却不奏明罪状不合情理。”

Paul’s Trial Before Festus

25 Three days after arriving in the province, Festus(A) went up from Caesarea(B) to Jerusalem, where the chief priests and the Jewish leaders appeared before him and presented the charges against Paul.(C) They requested Festus, as a favor to them, to have Paul transferred to Jerusalem, for they were preparing an ambush to kill him along the way.(D) Festus answered, “Paul is being held(E) at Caesarea,(F) and I myself am going there soon. Let some of your leaders come with me, and if the man has done anything wrong, they can press charges against him there.”

After spending eight or ten days with them, Festus went down to Caesarea. The next day he convened the court(G) and ordered that Paul be brought before him.(H) When Paul came in, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him. They brought many serious charges against him,(I) but they could not prove them.(J)

Then Paul made his defense: “I have done nothing wrong against the Jewish law or against the temple(K) or against Caesar.”

Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor,(L) said to Paul, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and stand trial before me there on these charges?”(M)

10 Paul answered: “I am now standing before Caesar’s court, where I ought to be tried. I have not done any wrong to the Jews,(N) as you yourself know very well. 11 If, however, I am guilty of doing anything deserving death, I do not refuse to die. But if the charges brought against me by these Jews are not true, no one has the right to hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar!”(O)

12 After Festus had conferred with his council, he declared: “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you will go!”

Festus Consults King Agrippa

13 A few days later King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea(P) to pay their respects to Festus. 14 Since they were spending many days there, Festus discussed Paul’s case with the king. He said: “There is a man here whom Felix left as a prisoner.(Q) 15 When I went to Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews brought charges against him(R) and asked that he be condemned.

16 “I told them that it is not the Roman custom to hand over anyone before they have faced their accusers and have had an opportunity to defend themselves against the charges.(S) 17 When they came here with me, I did not delay the case, but convened the court the next day and ordered the man to be brought in.(T) 18 When his accusers got up to speak, they did not charge him with any of the crimes I had expected. 19 Instead, they had some points of dispute(U) with him about their own religion(V) and about a dead man named Jesus who Paul claimed was alive. 20 I was at a loss how to investigate such matters; so I asked if he would be willing to go to Jerusalem and stand trial there on these charges.(W) 21 But when Paul made his appeal to be held over for the Emperor’s decision, I ordered him held until I could send him to Caesar.”(X)

22 Then Agrippa said to Festus, “I would like to hear this man myself.”

He replied, “Tomorrow you will hear him.”(Y)

Paul Before Agrippa(Z)

23 The next day Agrippa and Bernice(AA) came with great pomp and entered the audience room with the high-ranking military officers and the prominent men of the city. At the command of Festus, Paul was brought in. 24 Festus said: “King Agrippa, and all who are present with us, you see this man! The whole Jewish community(AB) has petitioned me about him in Jerusalem and here in Caesarea, shouting that he ought not to live any longer.(AC) 25 I found he had done nothing deserving of death,(AD) but because he made his appeal to the Emperor(AE) I decided to send him to Rome. 26 But I have nothing definite to write to His Majesty about him. Therefore I have brought him before all of you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that as a result of this investigation I may have something to write. 27 For I think it is unreasonable to send a prisoner on to Rome without specifying the charges against him.”
