诗篇 12
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
祈求 神保護脫離是非
大衛的詩，交給詩班長，調用“舍明尼”。
12 耶和華啊！求你施行拯救，因為虔誠人沒有了，
在世人中的信實人也不見了。
2 他們彼此說謊，
用諂媚的嘴唇說話，口是心非。
3 願耶和華剪除一切說諂媚話的嘴唇，
和說誇大話的舌頭。
4 他們曾說：“我們必能以舌頭取勝；
我們的嘴唇是自己的，誰能作我們的主呢？”
5 耶和華說：“因為困苦人的冤屈和貧窮人的歎息，
我現在要起來，把他們安置在他們渴望的穩妥之中。”
6 耶和華的言語是純淨的言語，
好像銀子在泥爐中煉過，精煉過七次一樣。
7 耶和華啊！求你保守我們，
保護我們（《馬索拉文本》，“我們……我們”作“他們……他”；現參照其他抄本及《七十士譯本》翻譯）永遠脫離這世代的人。
8 惡人到處橫行，
邪惡在世人中被高舉。
Psalm 12
New Life Version
God—Our Helper
12 Help, Lord! For God-like men are here no more. The faithful can no longer be seen among the sons of men. 2 They lie to each other. Their lips speak with sweet-sounding words that are not true. 3 May the Lord cut off all lips of false respect, and the tongue that speaks of great things. 4 They say, “We can win with our tongues. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?”
5 “Because of the suffering of the weak, and because of the cries of the poor, I will now rise up,” says the Lord. “I will keep him safe as he has wanted to be.”
6 The words of the Lord are pure words. They are like silver that has been made pure seven times in a stove of earth. 7 O Lord, You will keep us. You will keep us safe forever from the people of this day. 8 The sinful walk on every side when bad actions are held in honor among the sons of men.
