〔亞薩的詩。〕 神實在恩待以色列那些清心的人。
A psalm of Asaph. Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.
|
|
|
2 |
至於我、我的腳幾乎失閃．我的腳險些滑跌。
But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold.
|
|
|
3 |
我見惡人和狂傲人享平安、就心懷不平。
For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
|
|
|
4 |
他們死的時候、沒有疼痛．他們的力氣、卻也壯實。
They have no struggles; their bodies are healthy and strong.
|
|
|
5 |
他們不像別人受苦、也不像別人遭災。
They are free from the burdens common to man; they are not plagued by human ills.
|
|
|
6 |
所以、驕傲如鏈子戴在他們的項上．強暴像衣裳遮住他們的身體。
Therefore pride is their necklace; they clothe themselves with violence.
|
|
|
7 |
他們的眼睛因體胖而凸出．他們所得的、過於心裡所想的。
From their callous hearts comes iniquity; the evil conceits of their minds know no limits.
|
|
|
8 |
他們譏笑人、憑惡意說欺壓人的話．他們說話自高。
They scoff, and speak with malice; in their arrogance they threaten oppression.
|
|
|
9 |
他們的口褻瀆上天．他們的舌毀謗全地。
Their mouths lay claim to heaven, and their tongues take possession of the earth.
|
|
|
10 |
所以 神的民歸到這裡、喝盡了滿杯的苦水。
Therefore their people turn to them and drink up waters in abundance.
|
|
|
11 |
他們說、 神怎能曉得．至高者豈有知識呢。
They say, "How can God know? Does the Most High have knowledge?"
|
|
|
12 |
看哪、這就是惡人．他們既是常享安逸、財寶便加增。
This is what the wicked are like--always carefree, they increase in wealth.
|
|
|
13 |
我實在徒然潔淨了我的心、徒然洗手表明無辜．
Surely in vain have I kept my heart pure; in vain have I washed my hands in innocence.
|
|
|
14 |
因為我終日遭災難、每早晨受懲治．
All day long I have been plagued; I have been punished every morning.
|
|
|
15 |
我若說、我要這樣講、這就是以奸詐待你的眾子。
If I had said, "I will speak thus," I would have betrayed your children.
|
|
|
16 |
我思索怎能明白這事、眼看實係為難．
When I tried to understand all this, it was oppressive to me
|
|
|
17 |
等我進了 神的聖所、思想他們的結局。
till I entered the sanctuary of God; then I understood their final destiny.
|
|
|
18 |
你實在把他們安在滑地、使他們掉在沉淪之中。
Surely you place them on slippery ground; you cast them down to ruin.
|
|
|
19 |
他們轉眼之間、成了何等的荒涼．他們被驚恐滅盡了。
How suddenly are they destroyed, completely swept away by terrors!
|
|
|
20 |
人睡醒了怎樣看夢、主阿、你醒了、也必照樣輕看他們的影像。
As a dream when one awakes, so when you arise, O Lord, you will despise them as fantasies.
|
|
|
21 |
因而我心裡發酸、肺腑被刺．
When my heart was grieved and my spirit embittered,
|
|
|
22 |
我這樣愚昧無知、在你面前如畜類一般。
I was senseless and ignorant; I was a brute beast before you.
|
|
|
23 |
然而我常與你同在．你攙著我的右手。
Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand.
|
|
|
24 |
你要以你的訓言引導我、以後必接我到榮耀裡。
You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory.
|
|
|
25 |
除你以外、在天上我有誰呢．除你以外、在地上我也沒有所愛慕的。
Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
|
|
|
26 |
我的肉體、和我的心腸衰殘．但 神是我心裡的力量、又是我的福分、直到永遠。
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
|
|
|
27 |
遠離你的、必要死亡．凡離棄你行邪淫的、你都滅絕了。
Those who are far from you will perish; you destroy all who are unfaithful to you.
|
|
|
28 |
但我親近 神是與我有益．我以主耶和華為我的避難所、好叫我述說你一切的作為。
But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds.‧
