诗篇 37
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
作恶者之危殆
37 大卫的诗。
1 不要为作恶的心怀不平，也不要向那行不义的生出嫉妒。
2 因为他们如草快被割下，又如青菜快要枯干。
3 你当倚靠耶和华而行善，住在地上，以他的信实为粮。
4 又要以耶和华为乐，他就将你心里所求的赐给你。
5 当将你的事交托耶和华，并倚靠他，他就必成全。
6 他要使你的公义如光发出，使你的公平明如正午。
7 你当默然倚靠耶和华，耐性等候他，不要因那道路通达的和那恶谋成就的心怀不平。
8 当止住怒气，离弃愤怒，不要心怀不平，以致作恶。
9 因为作恶的必被剪除，唯有等候耶和华的必承受地土。
10 还有片时，恶人要归于无有，你就是细察他的住处，也要归于无有。
11 但谦卑人必承受地土，以丰盛的平安为乐。
12 恶人设谋害义人，又向他咬牙。
13 主要笑他，因见他受罚的日子将要来到。
14 恶人已经弓上弦，刀出鞘，要打倒困苦穷乏的人，要杀害行动正直的人。
15 他们的刀必刺入自己的心，他们的弓必被折断。
16 一个义人所有的虽少，强过许多恶人的富余。
17 因为恶人的膀臂必被折断，但耶和华是扶持义人。
恃主者之安稳
18 耶和华知道完全人的日子，他们的产业要存到永远。
19 他们在急难的时候不致羞愧，在饥荒的日子必得饱足。
20 恶人却要灭亡，耶和华的仇敌要像羊羔的脂油[a]，他们要消灭，要如烟消灭。
21 恶人借贷而不偿还，义人却恩待人，并且施舍。
22 蒙耶和华赐福的必承受地土，被他咒诅的必被剪除。
23 义人的脚步被耶和华立定，他的道路耶和华也喜爱。
24 他虽失脚，也不至全身仆倒，因为耶和华用手搀扶他[b]。
25 我从前年幼，现在年老，却未见过义人被弃，也未见过他的后裔讨饭。
26 他终日恩待人，借给人，他的后裔也蒙福。
27 你当离恶行善，就可永远安居。
28 因为耶和华喜爱公平，不撇弃他的圣民，他们永蒙保佑，但恶人的后裔必被剪除。
29 义人必承受地土，永居其上。
30 义人的口谈论智慧，他的舌头讲说公平。
31 神的律法在他心里，他的脚总不滑跌。
32 恶人窥探义人，想要杀他。
33 耶和华必不撇他在恶人手中，当审判的时候，也不定他的罪。
34 你当等候耶和华，遵守他的道，他就抬举你，使你承受地土，恶人被剪除的时候，你必看见。
35 我见过恶人大有势力，好像一根青翠树在本土生发。
36 有人从那里经过，不料，他没有了；我也寻找他，却寻不着。
37 你要细察那完全人，观看那正直人，因为和平人有好结局。
38 至于犯法的人，必一同灭绝，恶人终必剪除。
39 但义人得救，是由于耶和华，他在患难时做他们的营寨。
40 耶和华帮助他们，解救他们。他解救他们脱离恶人，把他们救出来，因为他们投靠他。
诗篇 37
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
义人和恶人的结局
大卫的诗。
37 不要因为恶人而烦恼，
也不要羡慕作恶之人，
2 因为他们如瞬息枯萎的草芥，
又如转眼消逝的绿草。
3 要信靠耶和华，要行善，
要在这片土地上安然度日。
4 要以耶和华为乐，
祂必成全你的愿望。
5 要把一切交托给耶和华，
信靠祂，祂必帮助你，
6 使你的公义如晨光照耀，
你的仁义如日中天。
7 要在耶和华面前安静，
耐心等候祂，
不要因恶人道路通达、阴谋得逞而愤愤不平。
8 你要抑制怒气，除掉愤怒；
不要心怀不平，
那会导致你作恶。
9 因为作恶的终必灭亡，
但等候耶和华的必承受土地。
10 再过片刻，恶人必不复存在，
无处可寻。
11 但谦卑人必承受土地，
得享太平。
12 恶人谋害义人，
对他们咬牙切齿。
13 但耶和华嗤笑邪恶人，
因为祂知道他们末日将临。
14 恶人拔剑张弓要消灭穷苦人，
杀戮正直人，
15 但他们的剑必刺穿自己的心，
他们的弓必被折断。
16 义人淡泊一生强过恶人财富如山。
17 因为恶人的势力终必瓦解，
耶和华必扶持义人。
18 耶和华天天看顾纯全无过的人，
他们的产业永远长存。
19 他们在灾难中不致绝望，
在饥荒时仍得饱足。
20 但恶人必灭亡，
上帝的仇敌必像野地枯萎的花草，
消逝如烟。
21 恶人借债不还，
义人慷慨给予。
22 蒙耶和华赐福的人必承受土地，
被耶和华咒诅的人必遭铲除。
23 耶和华引领义人的脚步，
喜悦他们所走的路。
24 他们即使失脚，也不会跌倒，
因为耶和华的手扶持他们。
25 从幼年到老年，
我从未见过义人遭弃，
也未见其后人讨饭。
26 他们乐善好施，
后代都蒙祝福。
27 你要离恶行善，
就必永远安居。
28 因为耶和华喜爱正义，
不丢弃信靠祂的人，
永远保护他们。
恶人的后代必被铲除。
29 义人必承受土地，
在地上永远安居。
30 义人口出智慧，诉说正义，
31 铭记上帝的律法，
从不失脚。
32 恶人窥探义人，
伺机谋害。
33 但耶和华不会让恶人得逞，
也不会让义人在审判时被定罪。
34 要等候耶和华，
坚守祂的道，
祂必赐你土地，使你有尊荣。
你必亲眼看见恶人被铲除。
35 我见过邪恶残暴之人，
乍看如葱茏的黎巴嫩香柏树，
36 再一看，
他已经消失得无影无踪，
无处可寻。
37 你看那纯全正直、爱好和平的人，
他们前途美好。
38 罪人必遭毁灭，
恶人必被铲除。
39 耶和华拯救义人，
患难时作他们的庇护所。
40 耶和华帮助他们，
拯救他们脱离恶人，
因为他们投靠祂。
Psalm 37
International Children’s Bible
God Will Reward Fairly
Of David.
37 Don’t be upset because of evil people.
Don’t be jealous of those who do wrong.
2 Like the grass, they will soon dry up.
Like green plants, they will soon die away.
3 Trust the Lord and do good.
Live in the land and enjoy its safety.
4 Enjoy serving the Lord.
And he will give you what you want.
5 Depend on the Lord.
Trust him, and he will take care of you.
6 Then your goodness will shine like the sun.
Your fairness will shine like the noonday sun.
7 Wait and trust the Lord.
Don’t be upset when others get rich
or when someone else’s plans succeed.
8 Don’t get angry.
Don’t be upset; it only leads to trouble.
9 Evil people will be sent away.
But people who trust the Lord will inherit the land.
10 In a little while there will be no more wicked people.
You may look for them, but they will be gone.
11 People who are not proud will inherit the land.
They will enjoy complete peace.
12 The wicked make evil plans against good people.
They grind their teeth at them in anger.
13 But the Lord laughs at the wicked.
He sees that their day is coming.
14 The wicked draw their swords.
They bend their bows.
They try to kill the poor and helpless.
They want to kill those who are honest.
15 But their swords will stab their own hearts.
Their bows will break.
16 It’s better to have little and be right
than to have much and be wrong.
17 The power of the wicked will be broken.
But the Lord supports those who do right.
18 The Lord watches over the lives of the innocent.
Their reward will last forever.
19 They will not be ashamed when trouble comes.
They will be full in times of hunger.
20 But the wicked will die.
The Lord’s enemies will be like the flowers of the fields.
They will disappear like smoke.
21 The wicked people borrow but don’t pay back.
But those who do right give freely to others.
22 Those people the Lord blesses will inherit the land.
But those he curses will be sent away.
23 When a man’s steps follow the Lord,
God is pleased with his ways.
24 If he stumbles, he will not fall,
because the Lord holds his hand.
25 I was young, and now I am old.
But I have never seen the Lord leave good people helpless.
I have never seen their children begging for food.
26 Good people always lend freely to others.
And their children are a blessing.
27 Stop doing evil and do good.
Then you will live forever.
28 The Lord loves justice.
He will not leave those who worship him.
He will always protect them.
But the children of the wicked will die.
29 Good people will inherit the land.
They will live in it forever.
30 A good person speaks with wisdom.
He says what is fair.
31 The teachings of his God are in his heart.
He does not fail to keep them.
32 The wicked watch for good people.
They want to kill them.
33 The Lord will not take away his protection.
He will not judge good people guilty.
34 Wait for the Lord’s help
and follow him.
He will honor you and give you the land.
And you will see the wicked people sent away.
35 I saw a wicked and cruel man.
He looked strong like a healthy tree in good soil.
36 But he died and was gone.
I looked for him, but he couldn’t be found.
37 Think of the innocent person.
Watch the honest one.
The man who has peace
will have children to live after him.
38 But sinners will be destroyed.
In the end the wicked will die.
39 The Lord saves good people.
He is their strong city in times of trouble.
40 The Lord helps them and saves them.
He saves them from the wicked
because they trust in him for protection.
Psalm 37
New American Standard Bible
Security of Those Who Trust in the Lord, and Insecurity of the Wicked.
A Psalm of David.
37 (A)Do not get upset because of evildoers,
Do not be (B)envious of wrongdoers.
2 For they will (C)wither quickly like the grass,
And (D)decay like the green plants.
3 (E)Trust in the Lord and do good;
(F)Live in the land and [a](G)cultivate faithfulness.
4 (H)Delight yourself in the Lord;
And He will (I)give you the desires of your heart.
5 (J)Commit your way to the Lord,
Trust also in Him, and He will do it.
6 He will bring out (K)your righteousness as the light,
And your judgment (L)as the noonday.
7 [b]Rest in the Lord and (M)wait [c]patiently for Him;
(N)Do not get upset because of one who is (O)successful in his way,
Because of the person who carries out wicked schemes.
8 Cease from anger and (P)abandon wrath;
Do not get upset; it leads only to evildoing.
9 For (Q)evildoers will be eliminated,
But those who wait for the Lord, they will (R)inherit the land.
10 Yet (S)a little while and the wicked person will be no more;
And you will look carefully for (T)his place and he will not be there.
11 But (U)the humble will inherit the land
And will delight themselves in (V)abundant prosperity.
12 The wicked (W)plots against the righteous,
And (X)gnashes at him with his teeth.
13 The Lord (Y)laughs at him,
For He sees that (Z)his day is coming.
14 The wicked have drawn the sword and (AA)bent their bow
To take down the (AB)afflicted and the needy,
To (AC)kill off those who are upright in conduct.
15 Their sword will enter their own heart,
And their (AD)bows will be broken.
16 (AE)Better is the little of the righteous
Than the abundance of many wicked.
17 For the (AF)arms of the wicked will be broken,
But the Lord (AG)sustains the righteous.
18 The Lord (AH)knows the days of the [d]blameless,
And their (AI)inheritance will be forever.
19 They will not be ashamed in the time of evil,
And (AJ)in the days of famine they will have plenty.
20 But the (AK)wicked will perish;
And the enemies of the Lord will be like the [e]glory of the pastures,
They vanish—(AL)like smoke they vanish away.
21 The wicked borrows and does not pay back,
But the righteous (AM)is gracious and gives.
22 For (AN)those blessed by Him will (AO)inherit the land,
But those (AP)cursed by Him will be eliminated.
23 (AQ)The steps of a man are established by the Lord,
And He (AR)delights in his way.
24 When (AS)he falls, he will not be hurled down,
Because (AT)the Lord is the One [f]who holds his hand.
25 I have been young and now I am old,
Yet (AU)I have not seen the righteous forsaken
Or (AV)his [g]descendants begging for bread.
26 All day long (AW)he is gracious and lends,
And (AX)his [h]descendants are a blessing.
27 (AY)Turn from evil and do good,
So that you will dwell (AZ)forever.
28 For the Lord (BA)loves [i]justice
And (BB)does not abandon His godly ones;
They are (BC)protected forever,
But the [j](BD)descendants of the wicked will be eliminated.
29 The righteous will (BE)inherit the land
And (BF)dwell in it forever.
30 The mouth of the righteous (BG)utters wisdom,
And his tongue (BH)speaks justice.
31 The (BI)Law of his God is in his heart;
His (BJ)steps do not slip.
32 The (BK)wicked spies upon the righteous
And (BL)seeks to kill him.
33 The Lord will (BM)not leave him in his hand
Or (BN)let him be condemned when he is judged.
34 (BO)Wait for the Lord and keep His way,
And He will exalt you to inherit the land;
When the (BP)wicked are eliminated, you will see it.
35 I have (BQ)seen a wicked, violent person
Spreading himself like a (BR)luxuriant [k]tree in its native soil.
36 Then he passed away, and behold, he (BS)was no more;
I searched for him, but he could not be found.
37 Observe the [l](BT)blameless person, and look at the (BU)upright;
For the person of peace will have (BV)a future.
38 But wrongdoers will altogether be (BW)destroyed;
The future of the wicked will be (BX)eliminated.
39 But the (BY)salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;
He is their strength (BZ)in time of trouble.
40 (CA)The Lord helps them and rescues them;
He (CB)rescues them from the wicked and saves them,
Because they (CC)take refuge in Him.
