旧约 -- 诗篇(Psalms) -- 第 37 章 ( 本篇共有 150 章 )
37:1 （大卫的诗）不要为作恶的，心怀不平，也不要向那行不义的，生出嫉妒。
Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
37:2 因为他们如草快被割下，又如青菜快要枯乾。
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
37:3 你当倚靠耶和华而行善。住在地上，以他的信实为粮。
Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
37:4 又要以耶和华为乐。他就将你心里所求的赐给你。
Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
37:5 当将你的事交托耶和华，并倚靠他，他就必成全。
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
37:6 他要使你的公义，如光发出，使你的公平，明如正午。
And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
37:7 你当默然倚靠耶和华，耐性等候他。不要因那道路通达的，和那恶谋成就的，心怀不平。
Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
37:8 当止住怒气，离弃忿怒。不要心怀不平，以致作恶。
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
37:9 因为作恶的，必被剪除。惟有等候耶和华的，必承受地土。
For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
37:10 还有片时，恶人要归于无有。你就细察他的住处，也要归于无有。
For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
37:11 但谦卑人必承受地土，以丰盛的平安为乐。
But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
37:12 恶人设谋害义人，又向他咬牙。
The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
37:13 主要笑他，因见他受罚的日子将要来到。
The LORD shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
37:14 恶人已经弓上弦，刀出鞘，要打倒困苦穷乏的人，要杀害行动正直的人。
The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.
37:15 他们的刀，必刺入自己的心，他们的弓，必被折断。
Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
37:16 一个义人所有的虽少，强过许多恶人的富馀。
A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.
37:17 因为恶人的膀臂，必被折断。但耶和华是扶持义人。
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
37:18 耶和华知道完全人的日子。他们的产业，要存到永远。
The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
37:19 他们在急难的时候，不至羞愧，在饥荒的日子，必得饱足。
They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
37:20 恶人却要灭亡。耶和华的仇敌，要像羊羔的脂油。（或作像草地的华美）他们要消灭，要如烟消灭。
But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
37:21 恶人借货而不偿还。义人却恩待人，并且施舍。
The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.
37:22 蒙耶和华赐福的，必承受地土。被他咒诅的，必被剪除。
For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
37:23 义人的脚步，被耶和华立定。他的道路，耶和华也喜爱。
The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
37:24 他虽失脚，也不至全身仆倒。因为耶和华用手搀扶他。（或作搀扶他的手）
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
37:25 我从前年幼，现在年老，却未见过义人被弃。也未见过他的后裔讨饭。
I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
37:26 他终日恩待人，借给人。他的后裔也蒙福。
He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
37:27 你当离恶行善，就可永远安居。
Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
37:28 因为耶和华喜爱公平，不撇弃他的圣民。他们永蒙保佑。但恶人的后裔，必被剪除。
For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
37:29 义人必承受地土，永居其上。
The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
37:30 义人的口谈论智慧，他的舌头讲说公平。
The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.
37:31 神的律法在他心里。他的脚总不滑跌。
The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
37:32 恶人窥探义人，想要杀他。
The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
37:33 耶和华必不撇他在恶人手中，当审判的时候，也不定他的罪。
The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
37:34 你当等候耶和华，遵守他的道，他就抬举你，使你承受地土。恶人被剪除的时候，你必看见。
Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
37:35 我见过恶人大有势力，好像一根青翠树在本土生发。
I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
37:36 有人从那里经过，不料，他没有了。我也寻梢他，却寻不着。
Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37:37 你要细察那完全人，观看那正直人。因为和平人有好结局。
Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
37:38 至于犯法的人，必一同灭绝。恶人终必剪除。
But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
37:39 但义人得救，是由于耶和华。他在患难时作他们的营寨。
But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
37:40 耶和华帮助他们，解救他们。他解救他们脱离恶人，把他们救出来，因为他们投靠他。
And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him. |
