诗篇卷三

 神必善待内心清洁的人

亚萨的诗。

73  神实在善待以色列,

善待那些内心清洁的人。(本节在《马索拉文本》包括细字标题)

至于我,我的脚几乎滑跌,

我(“我”原文作“我的脚步”)险些跌倒。

我看见恶人兴隆,

我就嫉妒狂傲的人。

他们没有痛苦,

他们的身体又健康又肥壮(本节原文作“他们到死都没有痛苦,他们的身体肥壮”)。

他们没有一般人所受的苦难,

也不像普通人一样遭遇灾害。

所以,骄傲像链子戴在他们的颈项上,

强暴好象衣裳穿在他们的身上。

他们的罪孽是出于麻木的心(按照《马索拉文本》,“他们的罪孽是出于麻木的心”应作“他们的眼睛因体胖而凸出”;现参照《七十士译本》翻译),

他们心里的恶念泛滥。

他们讥笑人,怀着恶意说欺压人的话,他们说话自高。

他们用口亵渎上天,

他们用舌头毁谤全地。

10 因此他的人民归回那里去,

并且喝光了大量的水。

11 他们说:“ 神怎会晓得?

至高者有知识吗?”

12 看这些恶人,

他们常享安逸,财富却增加。

13 我谨守我心纯洁实在徒然;

我洗手表明清白也是枉然。

14 因为我终日受伤害,

每天早晨受惩罚。

15 如果我心里说:“我要说这样的话”,

我就是对你这一代的众儿女不忠了。

16 我思想要明白这事,

我就看为烦恼;

17 直到我进了 神的圣所,

才明白他们的结局。

18 你实在把他们安放在滑地,

使他们倒下、灭亡。

19 他们忽然间成了多么荒凉,

被突然的惊恐完全消灭。

20 人睡醒了怎样看梦,

主啊!你睡醒了,也要照样轻看他们(“他们”原文作“他们的影像”)。

21 我心中酸苦,

我肺腑刺痛的时候,

22 我是愚昧无知的;

我在你面前就像畜类一般。

23 但是,我仍常与你同在;

你紧握着我的右手。

24 你要以你的训言引领我,

以后还要接我到荣耀里去。

25 除你以外,在天上,我还有谁呢?

除你以外,在地上,我也无所爱慕。

26 我的肉身和我的内心虽然渐渐衰弱,

 神却永远是我心里的盘石,是我的业分。

27 看哪!远离你的,必定灭亡;

凡是对你不贞的,你都要灭绝。

28 对我来说,亲近 神是美好的,

我以主耶和华为我的避难所;

我要述说你的一切作为。

卷三:诗篇73—89

上帝的公正审判

亚萨的诗。

73 上帝实在善待以色列人,
恩待那些内心纯洁的人。
我却身陷险地,
几乎失脚跌倒。
我看见狂傲的恶人亨通就心怀不平。
他们一生平顺,健康强壮。
他们不像别人受苦,
不像世人遭难。
他们把骄傲作项链戴在颈上,
把暴力作外袍裹在身上。
他们胖得眼睛凸出,
心中充满罪恶。
他们讥讽嘲笑,言语恶毒,
狂妄地以暴力相威胁。
他们亵渎上天,诋毁大地。
10 上帝的子民也跟随他们,
听从他们的话。
11 他们说:
“上帝怎能知道?
至高者会察觉吗?”
12 看这些恶人,
他们总是生活安逸,财富日增。
13 我洁身自爱,保持清白,
实属徒然。
14 我天天遭灾,日日受苦。
15 要是我这样说,
我就是背叛了你的子民。
16 我想明白这一切,
却百思不得其解。
17 直到我进入你的圣所,
才明白他们的结局。
18 你把他们放在容易滑倒的地方,
使他们落入毁灭中。
19 他们顷刻间被毁灭,
在恐怖中彻底灭亡。
20 他们不过是人醒来后的一场梦。
主啊,你一行动,
他们必灰飞烟灭。
21 我曾感到悲伤,心如刀绞。
22 我当时愚昧无知,
在你面前如同畜类。
23 然而,我一直和你在一起,
你牵着我的手引导我。
24 你以谆谆教诲指引我,
以后必接我到荣耀中。
25 除你以外,在天上我还有谁?
除你以外,在地上我别无爱慕。
26 尽管我身心俱衰,
上帝永远是我心中的力量,
永远属于我。
27 那些远离你的人必灭亡,
你必灭绝不忠于你的人。
28 对于我,到上帝面前是何等美好。
我以主耶和华为我的避难所,
并宣扬祂的一切作为。

Book 3

(Psalms 73-89)

Asaph’s song of praise.

73 God is so good to Israel,
    to those whose hearts are pure.
But I almost slipped and lost my balance.
    I almost fell into sin.
I saw that wicked people were successful,
    and I became jealous of those proud people.
They are healthy.
    They don’t have to struggle to survive.[a]
They don’t suffer like the rest of us.
    They don’t have troubles like other people.
So they are proud and hateful.
    This is as easy to see as the jewels and fancy clothes they wear.
If they see something they like, they go and take it.
    They do whatever they want.
They make fun of others and say cruel things about them.
    In their pride they make plans to hurt people.
They think they are gods!
    They think they are the rulers of the earth.
10 [b] Even God’s people turn to them
    and do what they say.
11 Those evil people say, “God does not know what we are doing!
    God Most High does not know!”

12 Those proud people are wicked,
    but they are rich and getting richer.
13 Clearly, then, I gain nothing by keeping my thoughts pure!
    What good is it to keep myself from sin?
14 God, I suffer all day long,
    and you punish me every morning.

15 I wanted to tell others these things,
    but that would have made me a traitor to your people.
16 I tried hard to understand all this,
    but it was too hard for me.
17 But then, God, I went to your Temple,
    and I understood what will happen to the wicked.
18 Clearly, you have put them in danger.
    You make it easy for them to fall and be destroyed.
19 Trouble can come suddenly,
    and they will be ruined.
Terrible things can happen to them,
    and they will be finished.
20 Then they will be like a dream
    that we forget when we wake up.
You will make them disappear
    like the monsters in our dreams.

21-22 I was so stupid.
    I thought about such people and became upset.
God, I was upset and angry with you!
    I acted like a senseless animal.
23 But I am always with you.
    You hold my hand.
24 You lead me and give me good advice,
    and later you will lead me to glory.[c]
25 In heaven, God, I have only you.
    And if I am with you, what on earth could I want?
26 Maybe my mind[d] and body will become weak,
    but God is my source of strength.[e]
    He is mine forever!
27 God, people who leave you will be lost.
    You will destroy all who are not faithful to you.
28 As for me, all I need is to be close to God.
    I have made the Lord God my place of safety.
    And, God, I will tell about all that you have done.
