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
New Century Version
A Prayer Against Liars
For the director of music. Upon the sheminith. A psalm of David.
12 Save me, Lord, because the good people are all gone;
no true believers are left on earth.
2 Everyone lies to his neighbors;
they say one thing and mean another.
3 The Lord will stop those flattering lips
and cut off those bragging tongues.
4 They say, “Our tongues will help us win.
We can say what we wish; no one is our master.”
5 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.”
6 The Lord’s words are pure,
like silver purified by fire,
like silver purified seven times over.
7 Lord, you will keep us safe;
you will always protect us from such people.
8 But the wicked are all around us;
everyone loves what is wrong.
