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
Expanded Bible
A Prayer Against Liars
For the director of music. Upon the ·sheminith [L eighth; C a reference to an eight-stringed instrument or possibly the manner of singing]. A psalm of David.
12 Save me, Lord, because the ·good [faithful; godly; covenantal; loyal] people are all gone;
·no true believers are left on earth [L the faithful have vanished among humanity].
2 Everyone ·lies [L speaks falsehood] to his neighbors;
they ·say one thing and mean another [speak with flattering lips and with a double heart/L heart and heart].
3 The Lord will ·stop [L cut off] those flattering lips
and those bragging tongues.
4 They say, “Our tongues will ·help us win [prevail].
·We can say what we wish [L Our lips belong to us]; ·no one [L who…?] is our master.”
5 But the Lord says,
“I will now rise up,
because the ·poor [weak] are ·being hurt [destroyed; plundered; oppressed].
Because of the ·moans [groans; sighs] of the ·helpless [needy],
I will give them the ·help [victory] they ·want [long for].”
6 The Lord’s ·words [or promises] are ·pure [flawless],
like silver ·purified [refined] ·by fire [or in a furnace],
·purified [refined] seven times over [18:30; 119:140].
7 Lord, you will ·keep us safe [L guard/protect them];
you will always ·protect [guard] us from such ·people [a generation].
8 But the wicked ·are [L walk] all around us;
·everyone loves what is wrong [L what is vile is lifted up among the sons of man/humanity].
