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。

他们彼此说谎,

用谄媚的嘴唇说话,口是心非。

愿耶和华剪除一切说谄媚话的嘴唇,

和说夸大话的舌头。

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?”

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。”

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。

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。

恶人到处横行,

邪恶在世人中被高举。

Psalm 12

Oppression by the Wicked

For the choir director: according to Sheminith.(A) A Davidic psalm.

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

“Because of the oppression of the afflicted
and the groaning of the poor,
I will now rise up,” says the Lord.
“I will put the one who longs for it in a safe place.”(F)

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

You, Lord, will guard us;[b]
You will protect us[c] from this generation forever.(H)
The wicked wander[d] everywhere,
and what is worthless is exalted by the human race.(I)

12 Help, Lord; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.

They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.

The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:

Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the Lord; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.

The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.

12 Дирижёру хора. Песнь Давуда.

Как долго, Вечный? Неужели забыл Ты меня навеки?
    Как долго Ты будешь скрывать от меня Своё лицо?
Как долго будет переживание терзать мою душу
    и боль – ежедневно сокрушать моё сердце?
    Как долго врагу моему надо мной кичиться?

Посмотри на меня и ответь, Вечный, мой Бог.
    Глаза мои просветли,
    чтобы мне не уснуть смертным сном,
чтобы враг не сказал: «Я его превозмог»,
    и когда я паду, не радовались бы недруги мои.

Я уповаю на Твою милость,
    моё сердце возрадуется спасению Твоему.
Вечному буду петь,
    потому что Он благ ко мне.

Заб. 52
