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。

詩篇 12

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)

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。
²人人謊話連篇，
花言巧語，口是心非。
³願你剷除一切花言巧語和狂妄自誇的人。
⁴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？」
⁵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。」
⁶耶和華的應許純全，
就像在爐中煉過七次的銀子。
⁷耶和華啊，你必保護我們，
永遠不容惡人侵害我們。
⁸眾人若抑善揚惡，
惡人必橫行無忌。

Psalm 12

English Standard Version

The Faithful Have Vanished

To the choirmaster: according to The Sheminith.^[a] A Psalm of David.

12 Save, O Lord, for ^(A)the godly one is gone;
for the faithful have vanished from among the children of man.
²Everyone ^(B)utters lies to his neighbor;
with ^(C)flattering lips and ^(D)a double heart they speak.

³May the Lord cut off all ^(E)flattering lips,
the tongue that makes ^(F)great boasts,
⁴those who say, “With our tongue we will prevail,
our lips are with us; who is master over us?”

⁵“Because ^(G)the poor are plundered, because the needy groan,
    ^(H)I will now arise,” says the Lord;
    “I will place him in the ^(I)safety for which he longs.”
⁶^(J)The words of the Lord are pure words,
    like silver refined in a furnace on the ground,
    purified seven times.

⁷You, O Lord, will keep them;
you will guard us^[b] from this generation forever.
⁸On every side the wicked prowl,
as vileness is exalted among the children of man.

Psalm 12^[a]

For the director of music. According to sheminith.^[b] A psalm of David.

¹Help, Lord, for no one is faithful anymore;^(A)
    those who are loyal have vanished from the human race.
²Everyone lies^(B) to their neighbor;
    they flatter with their lips
    but harbor deception in their hearts.^(C)

³May the Lord silence all flattering lips^(D)
    and every boastful tongue—^(E)
⁴those who say,
    “By our tongues we will prevail;^(F)
    our own lips will defend us—who is lord over us?”

⁵“Because the poor are plundered^(G) and the needy groan,^(H)
    I will now arise,^(I)” says the Lord.
    “I will protect them^(J) from those who malign them.”
⁶And the words of the Lord are flawless,^(K)
    like silver purified^(L) in a crucible,^(M)
    like gold^[c] refined seven times.

⁷You, Lord, will keep the needy safe^(N)
and will protect us forever from the wicked,^(O)
⁸who freely strut^(P) about
when what is vile is honored by the human race.

New King James Version

Man’s Treachery and God’s Constancy

To the Chief Musician. ^(A)On ^[a]an eight-stringed harp. A Psalm of David.

12 Help,^[b] Lord, for the godly man ^(B)ceases!
For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.
²^(C)They speak idly everyone with his neighbor;
With flattering lips and ^[c]a double heart they speak.

³May the Lord ^[d]cut off all flattering lips,
And the tongue that speaks ^[e]proud things,
⁴Who have said,
“With our tongue we will prevail;
Our lips are our own;
Who is lord over us?”

⁵“For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy,
Now I will arise,” says the Lord;
“I will set him in the safety for which he yearns.”

⁶The words of the Lord are ^(D)pure words,
Like silver tried in a furnace of earth,
Purified seven times.
⁷You shall keep them, O Lord,
You shall preserve them from this generation forever.

⁸The wicked prowl on every side,
When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
