Psalms 94
1 A Psalm of David himself. The Fourth Sabbath. The Lord is the God of retribution. The God of retribution acts in order to deliver.
耶和華啊，你是伸冤的上帝； 伸冤的上帝啊，求你發出光來！
2 Lift yourself up, for you judge the earth. Repay the arrogant with retribution.
審判世界的主啊，求你挺身而立， 使驕傲人受應得的報應！
3 How long will sinners, O Lord, how long will sinners glory?
耶和華啊，惡人誇勝要到幾時呢？ 要到幾時呢？
4 How long will they utter and speak iniquity? How long will all who work injustice speak out?
他們絮絮叨叨說傲慢的話； 一切作孽的人都自己誇張。
5 They have humiliated your people, O Lord, and they have harassed your inheritance.
耶和華啊，他們強壓你的百姓， 苦害你的產業。
6 They have executed the widow and the new arrival, and they have slaughtered the orphan.
他們殺死寡婦和寄居的， 又殺害孤兒。
7 And they have said, “The Lord will not see, nor will the God of Jacob understand.”
他們說：耶和華必不看見； 雅各的上帝必不思念。
8 Understand, you senseless ones among the people. And be wise at last, you foolish ones.
你們民間的畜類人當思想； 你們愚頑人到幾時才有智慧呢？
9 He who formed the ear, will he not hear? And he who forged the eye, does he not look closely?
造耳朵的，難道自己不聽見嗎？ 造眼睛的，難道自己不看見嗎？
10 He who chastises nations, he who teaches man knowledge, will he not rebuke?
管教列邦的，就是叫人得知識的， 難道自己不懲治人嗎？
11 The Lord knows the thoughts of men: that these are in vain.
耶和華知道人的意念是虛妄的。
12 Blessed is the man whom you will instruct, O Lord. And you will teach him from your law.
耶和華啊，你所管教、 用律法所教訓的人是有福的！
13 So may you soothe him from the evil days, until a pit may be dug for sinners.
你使他在遭難的日子得享平安； 惟有惡人陷在所挖的坑中。
14 For the Lord will not drive away his people, and he will not abandon his inheritance,
因為耶和華必不丟棄他的百姓， 也不離棄他的產業。
15 even until the time when justice is being converted into judgment, and when those who are close to justice are all those who are upright of heart.
審判要轉向公義； 心裏正直的，必都隨從。
16 Who will rise up with me against the malignant? Or who will stand with me against the workers of iniquity?
誰肯為我起來攻擊作惡的？ 誰肯為我站起抵擋作孽的？
17 Except that the Lord assisted me, my soul almost would have dwelt in Hell. (questioned)
若不是耶和華幫助我， 我就住在寂靜之中了。
18 If ever I said, “My foot is slipping,” then your mercy, O Lord, assisted me.
我正說我失了腳， 耶和華啊，那時你的慈愛扶助我。
19 According to the multitude of my sorrows in my heart, your consolations have given joy to my soul.
我心裏多憂多疑， 你安慰我，就使我歡樂。
20 Does the seat of iniquity adhere to you, you who contrive hardship within a commandment?
那藉着律例架弄殘害、 在位上行奸惡的，豈能與你相交嗎？
21 They will hunt down the soul of the just, and they will condemn innocent blood.
他們大家聚集攻擊義人， 將無辜的人定為死罪。
22 And the Lord has been made into a refuge for me, and my God into the assistance of my hope.
但耶和華向來作了我的高臺； 我的上帝作了我投靠的磐石。
23 And he will repay them their iniquity, and he will destroy them in their malice. The Lord our God will utterly destroy them.
他叫他們的罪孽歸到他們身上。 他們正在行惡之中，他要剪除他們； 耶和華－我們的上帝要把他們剪除。
