诗篇 12
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
祈求 神保护脱离是非
大卫的诗，交给诗班长，调用“舍明尼”。
12 耶和华啊！求你施行拯救，因为虔诚人没有了，
在世人中的信实人也不见了。
2 他们彼此说谎，
用谄媚的嘴唇说话，口是心非。
3 愿耶和华剪除一切说谄媚话的嘴唇，
和说夸大话的舌头。
4 他们曾说：“我们必能以舌头取胜；
我们的嘴唇是自己的，谁能作我们的主呢？”
5 耶和华说：“因为困苦人的冤屈和贫穷人的叹息，
我现在要起来，把他们安置在他们渴望的稳妥之中。”
6 耶和华的言语是纯净的言语，
好象银子在泥炉中炼过，精炼过七次一样。
7 耶和华啊！求你保守我们，
保护我们（《马索拉文本》，“我们……我们”作“他们……他”；现参照其他抄本及《七十士译本》翻译）永远脱离这世代的人。
8 恶人到处横行，
邪恶在世人中被高举。
Psalm 12
Evangelical Heritage Version
Psalm 12
Proud Words vs. Pure Words
Heading
For the choir director. According to sheminith.[a] A psalm by David.
The Proud Words of the Ungodly
1 Save us, Lord, for the merciful have disappeared.
The faithful have vanished from among mankind.
2 Everyone speaks falsehood to his neighbor.
Their flattering lips speak double-talk.[b]
3 May the Lord cut off all flattering lips.
May he cut off every tongue that speaks boastfully,
4 which says, “With our tongues we will establish our power.
We say what we please.[c] Who is lord over us?”
The Pure Words of the Lord
5 “Because of the destruction of the oppressed,
because of the groaning of the poor,
now I will rise up,” says the Lord.
“I will keep him safe from the one who puffs against him.”[d]
6 The words of the Lord are pure words,
like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times.
7 You, Lord, will keep them safe.
You will protect them from such people forever.
8 The wicked strut around
when depravity is honored by the children of Adam.
Footnotes
- Psalm 12:1 Sheminith is apparently derived from the Hebrew word for eight. It may refer to an eight-stringed instrument, to the bass voice, to low-pitched stringed instruments, or, most likely, to a method for tuning a stringed instrument (1 Chronicles 15:21).
- Psalm 12:2 Literally speak with a heart and a heart
- Psalm 12:4 Literally our lips are with us
- Psalm 12:5 Or in the safety he desires
