诗篇 12

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)

祈求上帝帮助

大卫的诗，交给乐长。

12 耶和华啊，求你救我们！
因为世上的敬虔人不见了，
忠信的人在人间消失了。
²人人谎话连篇，
花言巧语，口是心非。
³愿你铲除一切花言巧语和狂妄自夸的人。
⁴他们说：“我们必靠舌头制胜，
嘴唇是我们自己的，
谁管得着我们？”
⁵耶和华说：“我要保护受欺压的困苦人和哀叹的贫穷人，
使他们如愿以偿。”
⁶耶和华的应许纯全，
就像在炉中炼过七次的银子。
⁷耶和华啊，你必保护我们，
永远不容恶人侵害我们。
⁸众人若抑善扬恶，
恶人必横行无忌。

Psalm 12

Oppression by the Wicked

For the choir director: according to Sheminith.^(A) A psalm of David.

12 Help, Lord, for no faithful one remains;
the loyal have disappeared from the human race.^[a]^(B)
²They lie to one another;
they speak with flattering lips and deceptive hearts.^(C)
³May the Lord cut off all flattering lips
and the tongue that speaks boastfully.^(D)
⁴They say, ‘Through our tongues we have power;
our lips are our own – who can be our master? ’^(E)

⁵‘Because of the devastation of the needy
and the groaning of the poor,
I will now rise up,’ says the Lord.
‘I will provide safety for the one who longs for it.’^(F)

⁶The words of the Lord are pure words,
like silver refined in an earthen furnace,
purified seven times.^(G)

⁷You, Lord, will guard us;^[b]
you will protect us^[c] from this generation for ever.^(H)
⁸The wicked prowl^[d] all around,
and what is worthless is exalted by the human race.^(I)
