祈求上帝幫助

大衛的詩,交給樂長。

12 耶和華啊,求你救我們!
因為世上的敬虔人不見了,
忠信的人在人間消失了。
人人謊話連篇,
花言巧語,口是心非。
願你剷除一切花言巧語和狂妄自誇的人。
他們說:「我們必靠舌頭制勝,
嘴唇是我們自己的,
誰管得著我們?」
耶和華說:「我要保護受欺壓的困苦人和哀歎的貧窮人,
使他們如願以償。」
耶和華的應許純全,
就像在爐中煉過七次的銀子。
耶和華啊,你必保護我們,
永遠不容惡人侵害我們。
眾人若抑善揚惡,
惡人必橫行無忌。

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。
人人谎话连篇,
花言巧语,口是心非。
愿你铲除一切花言巧语和狂妄自夸的人。
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?”
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。”
耶和华的应许纯全,

耶和华啊,你必保护我们,
永远不容恶人侵害我们。
众人若抑善扬恶,
恶人必横行无忌。

A Prayer Against Liars

For the director of music. By the sheminith. A song of David.

12 Save me, Lord, because the good people are all gone.
    No true believers are left on earth.
Everyone lies to his neighbors.
    They say one thing and mean another.

The Lord will stop those lying lips.
    He will cut off those bragging tongues.
They say, “Our tongues will help us win.
    We can say what we wish. No one is our master.”

But the Lord says,
“I will now rise up
    because the poor are being hurt.
Because of the moans of the helpless,
    I will give them the help they want.”
The Lord’s words are pure.
    They are like silver purified by fire,
    like silver purified seven times over.

Lord, keep us safe.
    Always protect us from such people.
The wicked are all around us.
    Everyone loves what is wrong.
