Psalms |
| 1達味作。不要因作惡的人而忿怒，也不要對歹徒心生嫉妒； |
1Of David. Do not be provoked by evildoers; do not envy those who do wrong. |
| 2因為他們有如青草，快要枯槁，他們有如綠葉，行將零凋。 |
2Like grass they wither quickly; like green plants they wilt away. |
| 3你該信賴上主，致力善行，你必安居樂土，享受康寧。 |
3 Trust in the LORD and do good that you may dwell in the land and live secure. |
| 4你只管在上主內喜歡，他必滿全你心的意願。 |
4Find your delight in the LORD who will give you your heart's desire. |
| 5將你的行徑委託於上主，寄望於他，他必使之成就。 |
5Commit your way to the LORD; trust that God will act |
| 6他必使你的義德如光出現，他必使你的仁義如日中天。 |
6And make your integrity shine like the dawn, your vindication like noonday. |
| 7你應該在上主面前安心依靠，不要因萬事順當的人而煩惱，不要因圖謀不軌的人而暴燥； |
7Be still before the LORD; wait for God. Do not be provoked by the prosperous, nor by malicious schemers. |
| 8你應控制憤恨，消除怒火，不要動怒，免得再犯罪過。 |
8Give up your anger, abandon your wrath; do not be provoked; it brings only harm. |
| 9因為作惡犯罪的人必被剷除；惟有仰望上主的人繼承樂土。 |
9Those who do evil will be cut off, but those who wait for the LORD will possess the land. |
| 10再過片刻惡人就不知所在，詳察他的住所，也不復存在。 |
10Wait a little, and the wicked will be no more; look for them and they will not be there. |
| 11但善人將繼承樂土，必將樂享平安幸福。 |
11But the poor will possess the land, will delight in great prosperity. |
| 12惡徒設計謀害忠義，常朝着他咬牙切齒。 |
12The wicked plot against the just and grind their teeth at them; |
| 13上主卻朝着惡人發笑，因見他的時日已來到。 |
13But the LORD laughs at them, knowing their day is coming. |
| 14惡人拔劍張弓，想毀滅貧困微弱的人，想屠殺操行正直的人； |
14The wicked draw their swords; they string their bows To fell the poor and oppressed, to slaughter those whose way is honest. |
| 15他們的劍反刺穿他們的心肝，他們的弓將被折得破爛不堪。 |
15Their swords will pierce their own hearts; their bows will be broken. |
| 16義人佔有的幸福雖少，但卻勝於惡人的富饒。 |
16Better the poverty of the just than the great wealth of the wicked. |
| 17因為惡人的手臂將被折斷，義人卻有上主作支援。 |
17The arms of the wicked will be broken; the LORD will sustain the just. |
| 18上主眷顧善人的歲月，他們的產業永遠常在。 |
18The LORD watches over the days of the blameless; their heritage lasts forever. |
| 19在患難之時，他們必不蒙羞，在饑饉之日，他們必得飽飫。 |
19They will not be disgraced when times are hard; in days of famine they will have plenty. |
| 20惡人和上主的仇人必要沉淪，必要像沃野的鮮花一樣凋零，必要像煙霧一般消散得無影。 |
20The wicked perish, the enemies of the LORD; Like the beauty of meadows they vanish; like smoke they disappear. |
| 21惡人借貸總不償還，義人卻常好施樂善。 |
21The wicked borrow but do not repay; the just are generous in giving. |
| 22的確蒙上主祝福的人將繼承福地，受上主咒罵的人將被除滅跡。 |
22For those blessed by the Lord will possess the land, but those accursed will be cut off. |
| 23上主穩定善人的腳步，上主欣賞義人的道路： |
23Those whose steps are guided by the LORD; whose way God approves, |
| 24他縱或失足，也不致顛仆，因為上主扶持着他的手。 |
24May stumble, but they will never fall, for the LORD holds their hand. |
| 25我作過幼童，現今已經年老，從未見過正義的人被棄掉。也未見過他的後裔行乞討。 |
25Neither in my youth, nor now in old age have I ever seen the just abandoned or their children begging bread. |
| 26他既終生施惠憐恤，他的子孫必蒙祝福。 |
26The just always lend generously, and their children become a blessing. |
| 27你若避惡行善，你必存留永遠。 |
27Turn from evil and do good, that you may inhabit the land forever. |
| 28因為上主愛慕正義，必不拋棄自己的聖徒，乖戾歹徒必被消滅，惡人的子孫必被剷除， |
28For the LORD loves justice and does not abandon the faithful. When the unjust are destroyed, and the children of the wicked cut off, |
| 29義人將要承受樂土，必在那裏永遠居住。 |
29The just will possess the land and live in it forever. |
| 30義人的口傾吐智慧，他的舌頭講論公義。 |
30The mouths of the just utter wisdom; their tongues speak what is right. |
| 31天主的法律在他心田，他的腳步必堅定不偏。 |
31God's teaching is in their hearts; their steps do not falter. |
| 32惡者窺伺義者，設法將他殺害； |
32The wicked spy on the just and seek to kill them. |
| 33上主絕不將義人棄於惡人手中，上主審判時，也決不判義人受刑。 |
33But the LORD does not leave the just in their power, nor let them be condemned when tried. |
| 34你當仰望上主，遵循他的道路：他必要舉揚你，使你承受樂土；當剷除惡人時，你將欣然目睹。 |
34Wait eagerly for the LORD, and keep to the way; God will raise you to possess the land; you will gloat when the wicked are cut off. |
| 35我曾見過惡人橫極一時，像茂盛的綠樹滋長不息。 |
35I have seen ruthless scoundrels, strong as flourishing cedars. |
| 36當我再經過時，竟已不在眼前，我雖到處尋覓，再也沒有尋見。 |
36When I passed by again, they were gone; though I searched, they could not be found. |
| 37求你對正人注視，對君子觀看，愛好和平的人，子嗣必定連綿。 |
37Observe the honest, mark the upright; those at peace with God have a future. |
| 38行兇的人必盡數滅亡，惡人的後裔必全淪喪。 |
38But all sinners will be destroyed; the future of the wicked will be cut off. |
| 39義人的救護是來自上主，他是他們困厄時的護守； |
39The salvation of the just is from the LORD, their refuge in time of distress. |
| 40上主必扶持助佑，解救他們脫離惡人，上主必予以挽救，因他們曾向他投奔。 |
40The LORD helps and rescues them, rescues and saves them from the wicked, because in God they take refuge. |
