Who Shall Dwell on Your Holy Hill?

A Psalm of David.

15 O Lord, (A)who shall sojourn in your (B)tent?
    Who shall dwell on your (C)holy hill?

He who (D)walks blamelessly and (E)does what is right
    and (F)speaks truth in his heart;
who (G)does not slander with his tongue
    and does no evil to his neighbor,
    nor (H)takes up a reproach against his friend;
(I)in whose eyes a vile person is despised,
    but who honors those who fear the Lord;
who (J)swears to his own hurt and does not change;
who (K)does not put out his money at interest
    and (L)does not take a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things shall never be (M)moved.

得居聖山者之品行

15 大衛的詩。

耶和華啊,誰能寄居你的帳幕?誰能住在你的聖山?
就是行為正直,做事公義,心裡說實話的人。
他不以舌頭讒謗人,不惡待朋友,也不隨夥毀謗鄰里。
他眼中藐視匪類,卻尊重那敬畏耶和華的人。他發了誓,雖然自己吃虧,也不更改。
他不放債取利,不受賄賂以害無辜。行這些事的人,必永不動搖。

Justice

18 “You shall appoint (A)judges and officers in all your towns that the Lord your God is giving you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment. 19 (B)You shall not pervert justice. (C)You shall not show partiality, (D)and you shall not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and subverts the cause of the righteous. 20 Justice, and only justice, you shall follow, that you may live and inherit the land that the Lord your God is giving you.

18 「你要在耶和華你神所賜的各城裡,按著各支派設立審判官和官長,他們必按公義的審判判斷百姓。 19 不可屈枉正直,不可看人的外貌,也不可受賄賂,因為賄賂能叫智慧人的眼變瞎了,又能顛倒義人的話。 20 你要追求至公至義,好叫你存活,承受耶和華你神所賜你的地。

Suffering for Righteousness' Sake

Finally, all of you, (A)have unity of mind, sympathy, (B)brotherly love, (C)a tender heart, and (D)a humble mind. (E)Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, (F)bless, for (G)to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing. 10 For

(H)“Whoever desires to love life
    and see good days,
let him keep his tongue from evil
    and his lips from speaking deceit;
11 let him turn away from evil and do good;
    let him seek peace and pursue it.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
    and his ears are open to their prayer.
But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”

教導眾人

總而言之,你們都要同心,彼此體恤,相愛如弟兄,存慈憐謙卑的心。 不以惡報惡、以辱罵還辱罵,倒要祝福,因你們是為此蒙召,好叫你們承受福氣。 10 因為經上說:「人若愛生命,願享美福,須要禁止舌頭不出惡言,嘴唇不說詭詐的話; 11 也要離惡行善,尋求和睦,一心追趕。

為義受苦是有福的

12 因為主的眼看顧義人,主的耳聽他們的祈禱;唯有行惡的人,主向他們變臉。」
