 神是正直人的倚靠

大衛的詩,交給詩班長。

11 我投靠耶和華,你們怎麼對我說:

“你要像飛鳥逃到你的山上去。(本節在《馬索拉文本》包括細字標題)

看哪!惡人的弓已經拉開,

箭已經上弦,

要從暗處射那心裡正直的人。

根基既然毀壞,

義人還能作甚麼呢?”

耶和華在他的聖殿裡,

耶和華的寶座在天上,

他的眼睛觀看,他的目光察驗世人。

耶和華試驗義人和惡人,

他的心恨惡喜愛強暴的人。

耶和華必使火炭落在惡人身上,

烈火、硫磺和旱風是他們杯中的分。

因為耶和華是公義的,他喜愛公義的行為,

正直的人必得見他的面。

11 In the Lord put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?

For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.

If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.

For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.

To the Director: A Davidic Song.[a]

Confident Trust in God

11 I take refuge in the Lord.
    So how can you say to me,
        “Flee like a bird to the mountains.”?
Look, the wicked have bent their bow
    and placed their arrow[b] on the string,[c]
        to shoot from the darkness[d] at the upright in heart.
When the foundations are destroyed,
    what can the righteous do?

The Lord is in his holy Temple;
    the Lord’s throne is in the heavens.
His eyes see,
    his glance[e] examines humanity.[f]
The Lord examines the righteous,
    but the wicked and those who love violence, he hates.
He rains on the wicked burning coals and sulfur;
    a scorching wind is their destiny.[g]
Indeed, the Lord is righteous;
    he loves righteousness;
        the upright will see him face-to-face.

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。
