信靠上帝

大卫的诗,交给乐长。

11 我投靠耶和华,
你们怎能对我说:“要像飞鸟一样逃到山里。
看啊,恶人弯弓搭箭,
要暗射心地正直的人。
根基若遭毁坏,
义人还能做什么?”
耶和华在祂的圣殿里,
坐在天上的宝座上,
放眼巡视,察看世人。
耶和华察验义人和恶人,
祂憎恨邪恶和残暴之徒。
祂要把烈焰熊熊的火炭和硫磺降在恶人身上,
用炙热的风惩罚他们。
因为耶和华是公义的,
祂喜爱公义。
正直的人必见祂的面。

A Statement About Trust in God

For the director of music. Of David.

11 I trust in the Lord for protection.
    So why do you say to me,
    “Fly like a bird to your mountain.
Like hunters, the wicked string their bows.
    They set their arrows on the bowstrings.
They shoot from dark places
    at those who are honest.
When all that is good falls apart,
    what can good people do?”

The Lord is in his holy temple.
    The Lord sits on his throne in heaven.
And he sees what people do.
    He keeps his eye on them.
The Lord tests those who do right.
    But he hates the wicked and those who love to hurt others.
He will send hot coals on the wicked.
    Burning sulfur and a whirlwind is what they will get.
The Lord does what is right, and he loves justice.
    So honest people will see his face.

Faith in the Lord’s Righteousness

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

11 In (A)the Lord I put my trust;
How can you say to my soul,
“Flee as a bird to your mountain”?
For look! (B)The wicked bend their bow,
They make ready their arrow on the string,
That they may shoot [a]secretly at the upright in heart.
(C)If the foundations are destroyed,
What can the righteous do?

The Lord is in His holy temple,
The Lord’s (D)throne is in heaven;
(E)His eyes behold,
His eyelids test the sons of men.
The Lord (F)tests the righteous,
But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.
Upon the wicked He will rain coals;
Fire and brimstone and a burning wind
(G)Shall be [b]the portion of their cup.

For the Lord is righteous,
He (H)loves righteousness;
[c]His countenance beholds the upright.
