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。

A Prayer Against Liars

For the director of music. By the sheminith. A song of David.

12 Save me, Lord, because the good people are all gone.
    No true believers are left on earth.
Everyone lies to his neighbors.
    They say one thing and mean another.

The Lord will stop those lying lips.
    He will cut off those bragging tongues.
They say, “Our tongues will help us win.
    We can say what we wish. No one is our master.”

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.”
The Lord’s words are pure.
    They are like silver purified by fire,
    like silver purified seven times over.

Lord, keep us safe.
    Always protect us from such people.
The wicked are all around us.
    Everyone loves what is wrong.
