人的邪恶与上帝的美善

耶和华的仆人大卫的诗,交给乐长。

36 罪恶在恶人内心深处说话,
他们眼中毫无对上帝的畏惧。
他们自以为是,浑然不知自己的罪,
也不憎恶自己的罪。
他们满口恶言谎话,
毫无智慧和善行。
他们躺在床上盘算作恶,
执意走罪恶的道路,
无恶不作。
耶和华啊,你的慈爱广及诸天,
你的信实高达穹苍。
你的公义稳如高山,
你的判断深不可测。
耶和华啊,你保护人类,
也保护牲畜。
上帝啊,
你的慈爱无比宝贵!
世人都在你的翅膀下寻求荫庇。
你让他们饱享你殿里的美食,
畅饮你乐河中的水。
因为你是生命的泉源,
在你的光中我们得见光明。

10 求你常施慈爱给认识你的人,
以公义恩待心地正直的人。
11 别让骄傲人的脚践踏我,
别让凶恶人的手驱赶我。
12 看啊!恶人已经摔倒在地,
再也爬不起来。

人的邪惡與上帝的美善

耶和華的僕人大衛的詩,交給樂長。

36 罪惡在惡人內心深處說話,
他們眼中毫無對上帝的畏懼。
他們自以為是,渾然不知自己的罪,
也不憎惡自己的罪。
他們滿口惡言謊話,
毫無智慧和善行。
他們躺在床上盤算作惡,
執意走罪惡的道路,
無惡不作。
耶和華啊,你的慈愛廣及諸天,
你的信實高達穹蒼。
你的公義穩如高山,
你的判斷深不可測。
耶和華啊,你保護人類,
也保護牲畜。
上帝啊,
你的慈愛無比寶貴!
世人都在你的翅膀下尋求蔭庇。
你讓他們飽享你殿裡的美食,
暢飲你樂河中的水。
因為你是生命的泉源,
在你的光中我們得見光明。

10 求你常施慈愛給認識你的人,
以公義恩待心地正直的人。
11 別讓驕傲人的腳踐踏我,
別讓兇惡人的手驅趕我。
12 看啊!惡人已經摔倒在地,
再也爬不起來。

Wickedness of men and lovingkindness of God.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David the servant of Jehovah.

[a]36 The transgression of the wicked [b]saith within my heart,
There is no fear of God before his eyes.
For [c]he flattereth himself in his own eyes,
[d]That his iniquity will not be found out and be hated.
The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit:
He hath ceased to be wise and to do good.
He deviseth iniquity upon his bed;
He setteth himself in a way that is not good;
He abhorreth not evil.

Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, is in the heavens;
Thy faithfulness reacheth unto the skies.
Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God;
Thy judgments are a great deep:
O Jehovah, thou preservest man and beast.
How precious is thy lovingkindness, O God!
And the children of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.
They shall be [e]abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house;
And thou wilt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
For with thee is the fountain of life:
In thy light shall we see light.
10 Oh continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee,
And thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Let not the foot of pride come against me,
And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen:
They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.

Psalm 36[a]

For the director of music. Of David the servant of the Lord.

I have a message from God in my heart
    concerning the sinfulness of the wicked:[b](A)
There is no fear(B) of God
    before their eyes.(C)

In their own eyes they flatter themselves
    too much to detect or hate their sin.(D)
The words of their mouths(E) are wicked and deceitful;(F)
    they fail to act wisely(G) or do good.(H)
Even on their beds they plot evil;(I)
    they commit themselves to a sinful course(J)
    and do not reject what is wrong.(K)

Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens,
    your faithfulness(L) to the skies.(M)
Your righteousness(N) is like the highest mountains,(O)
    your justice like the great deep.(P)
    You, Lord, preserve both people and animals.(Q)
How priceless is your unfailing love, O God!(R)
    People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.(S)
They feast on the abundance of your house;(T)
    you give them drink from your river(U) of delights.(V)
For with you is the fountain of life;(W)
    in your light(X) we see light.

10 Continue your love(Y) to those who know you,(Z)
    your righteousness to the upright in heart.(AA)
11 May the foot of the proud not come against me,
    nor the hand of the wicked(AB) drive me away.
12 See how the evildoers lie fallen—
    thrown down, not able to rise!(AC)
