 神是正直人的倚靠

大卫的诗,交给诗班长。

11 我投靠耶和华,你们怎么对我说:

“你要像飞鸟逃到你的山上去。(本节在《马索拉文本》包括细字标题)

看哪!恶人的弓已经拉开,

箭已经上弦,

要从暗处射那心里正直的人。

根基既然毁坏,

义人还能作甚么呢?”

耶和华在他的圣殿里,

耶和华的宝座在天上,

他的眼睛观看,他的目光察验世人。

耶和华试验义人和恶人,

他的心恨恶喜爱强暴的人。

耶和华必使火炭落在恶人身上,

烈火、硫磺和旱风是他们杯中的分。

因为耶和华是公义的,他喜爱公义的行为,

正直的人必得见他的面。

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。

Psalm 11

For the director of music. Of David.

In the Lord I take refuge.(A)
    How then can you say to me:
    “Flee(B) like a bird to your mountain.(C)
For look, the wicked bend their bows;(D)
    they set their arrows(E) against the strings
to shoot from the shadows(F)
    at the upright in heart.(G)
When the foundations(H) are being destroyed,
    what can the righteous do?”

The Lord is in his holy temple;(I)
    the Lord is on his heavenly throne.(J)
He observes everyone on earth;(K)
    his eyes examine(L) them.
The Lord examines the righteous,(M)
    but the wicked, those who love violence,
    he hates with a passion.(N)
On the wicked he will rain
    fiery coals and burning sulfur;(O)
    a scorching wind(P) will be their lot.

For the Lord is righteous,(Q)
    he loves justice;(R)
    the upright(S) will see his face.(T)

11 1-3 I’ve already run for dear life
    straight to the arms of God.
So why would I run away now
    when you say,

“Run to the mountains; the evil
    bows are bent, the wicked arrows
Aimed to shoot under cover of darkness
    at every heart open to God.
The bottom’s dropped out of the country;
    good people don’t have a chance”?

4-6 But God hasn’t moved to the mountains;
    his holy address hasn’t changed.
He’s in charge, as always, his eyes
    taking everything in, his eyelids
Unblinking, examining Adam’s flesh and blood
    inside and out, not missing a thing.
He tests the good and the bad alike;
    if anyone cheats, God’s outraged.
Fail the test and you’re out,
    out in a hail of firestones,
Drinking from a canteen
    filled with hot desert wind.

God’s business is putting things right;
    he loves getting the lines straight,
Setting us straight. Once we’re standing tall,
    we can look him straight in the eye.
