祈求 神究治恶人

10 耶和华啊!你为甚么远远地站着?在患难的时候,你为甚么隐藏起来呢?

恶人骄横地追逼困苦人,

愿恶人陷入自己所设的阴谋中。

恶人夸耀心中的欲望,

他称赞贪财的人,却藐视耶和华(“他称赞贪财的人,却藐视耶和华”或译:“贪财的人谤渎耶和华,并藐视他”)。

恶人面带骄傲,说:“耶和华必不追究!”

在他的一切思想中,都没有 神。

他的道路时常稳妥,

你的判断高超,他却不放在眼内;

他对所有的仇敌都嗤之以鼻。

他心里说:“我必永不摇动,

我决不会遭遇灾难。”

他口里充满咒诅、诡诈和欺压的话,

舌头底下尽是毒害与奸恶。

他在村庄里埋伏等候,

在隐密处杀害无辜的人,

他的眼睛暗地里窥探不幸的人。

他在隐密处埋伏,像狮子埋伏在丛林中;

他埋伏要掳走困苦人,

他把困苦人拉入自己的网中,掳走了他们。

10 他击打,他屈身蹲伏,

不幸的人就倒在他的爪下。

11 他心里说:“ 神已经忘记了,

他已经掩面,永远不看。”

12 耶和华啊!求你起来;

 神啊!求你举起手来,

不要忘记困苦的人。

13 恶人为甚么藐视 神,

心里说:“你必不追究”呢?

14 其实你已经看见了,

忧患与愁苦你都已经看到,并且放在自己的手中;

不幸的人把自己交托你;

你是帮助孤儿的。

15 愿你打断恶人和坏人的膀臂,

愿你追究他们的恶行,直到清清楚楚。

16 耶和华作王直到永永远远,

列国都从他的地上灭亡。

17 耶和华啊!困苦人的心愿你已经听见,

你必坚固他们的心,也必留心听他们的呼求;

18 好为孤儿和受欺压的人伸冤,

使地上的人不再施行恐吓。

祈求 神究治惡人

10 耶和華啊!你為甚麼遠遠地站著?在患難的時候,你為甚麼隱藏起來呢?

惡人驕橫地追逼困苦人,

願惡人陷入自己所設的陰謀中。

惡人誇耀心中的慾望,

他稱讚貪財的人,卻藐視耶和華(“他稱讚貪財的人,卻藐視耶和華”或譯:“貪財的人謗瀆耶和華,並藐視他”)。

惡人面帶驕傲,說:“耶和華必不追究!”

在他的一切思想中,都沒有 神。

他的道路時常穩妥,

你的判斷高超,他卻不放在眼內;

他對所有的仇敵都嗤之以鼻。

他心裡說:“我必永不搖動,

我決不會遭遇災難。”

他口裡充滿咒詛、詭詐和欺壓的話,

舌頭底下盡是毒害與奸惡。

他在村莊裡埋伏等候,

在隱密處殺害無辜的人,

他的眼睛暗地裡窺探不幸的人。

他在隱密處埋伏,像獅子埋伏在叢林中;

他埋伏要擄走困苦人,

他把困苦人拉入自己的網中,擄走了他們。

10 他擊打,他屈身蹲伏,

不幸的人就倒在他的爪下。

11 他心裡說:“ 神已經忘記了,

他已經掩面,永遠不看。”

12 耶和華啊!求你起來;

 神啊!求你舉起手來,

不要忘記困苦的人。

13 惡人為甚麼藐視 神,

心裡說:“你必不追究”呢?

14 其實你已經看見了,

憂患與愁苦你都已經看到,並且放在自己的手中;

不幸的人把自己交託你;

你是幫助孤兒的。

15 願你打斷惡人和壞人的膀臂,

願你追究他們的惡行,直到清清楚楚。

16 耶和華作王直到永永遠遠,

列國都從他的地上滅亡。

17 耶和華啊!困苦人的心願你已經聽見,

你必堅固他們的心,也必留心聽他們的呼求;

18 好為孤兒和受欺壓的人伸冤,

使地上的人不再施行恐嚇。

Psalm 10[a]

Why, Lord, do you stand far off?(A)
    Why do you hide yourself(B) in times of trouble?

In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak,(C)
    who are caught in the schemes he devises.
He boasts(D) about the cravings of his heart;
    he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord.(E)
In his pride the wicked man does not seek him;
    in all his thoughts there is no room for God.(F)
His ways are always prosperous;
    your laws are rejected by[b] him;
    he sneers at all his enemies.
He says to himself, “Nothing will ever shake me.”
    He swears, “No one will ever do me harm.”(G)

His mouth is full(H) of lies and threats;(I)
    trouble and evil are under his tongue.(J)
He lies in wait(K) near the villages;
    from ambush he murders the innocent.(L)
His eyes watch in secret for his victims;
    like a lion in cover he lies in wait.
He lies in wait to catch the helpless;(M)
    he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.(N)
10 His victims are crushed,(O) they collapse;
    they fall under his strength.
11 He says to himself, “God will never notice;(P)
    he covers his face and never sees.”(Q)

12 Arise,(R) Lord! Lift up your hand,(S) O God.
    Do not forget the helpless.(T)
13 Why does the wicked man revile God?(U)
    Why does he say to himself,
    “He won’t call me to account”?(V)
14 But you, God, see the trouble(W) of the afflicted;
    you consider their grief and take it in hand.
The victims commit themselves to you;(X)
    you are the helper(Y) of the fatherless.
15 Break the arm of the wicked man;(Z)
    call the evildoer to account for his wickedness
    that would not otherwise be found out.

16 The Lord is King for ever and ever;(AA)
    the nations(AB) will perish from his land.
17 You, Lord, hear the desire of the afflicted;(AC)
    you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,(AD)
18 defending the fatherless(AE) and the oppressed,(AF)
    so that mere earthly mortals
    will never again strike terror.

A Song of Confidence in God’s Triumph over Evil

10 Why do You stand afar off, O Lord?
Why do You hide in times of trouble?
The wicked in his pride [a]persecutes the poor;
(A)Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised.

For the wicked (B)boasts of his heart’s desire;
[b]He (C)blesses the greedy and renounces the Lord.
The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God;
[c]God is in none of his (D)thoughts.

His ways [d]are always prospering;
Your judgments are far above, out of his sight;
As for all his enemies, he sneers at them.
(E)He has said in his heart, “I shall not be moved;
(F)I shall never be in adversity.”
(G)His mouth is full of cursing and (H)deceit and oppression;
Under his tongue is trouble and iniquity.

He sits in the lurking places of the villages;
In the secret places he murders the innocent;
His eyes are secretly fixed on the helpless.
He lies in wait secretly, as a lion in his den;
He lies in wait to catch the poor;
He catches the poor when he draws him into his net.
10 So [e]he crouches, he lies low,
That the helpless may fall by his [f]strength.
11 He has said in his heart,
“God has forgotten;
He hides His face;
He will never see.”

12 Arise, O Lord!
O God, (I)lift up Your hand!
Do not forget the (J)humble.
13 Why do the wicked renounce God?
He has said in his heart,
“You will not require an account.

14 But You have (K)seen, for You observe trouble and grief,
To repay it by Your hand.
The helpless (L)commits[g] himself to You;
(M)You are the helper of the fatherless.
15 Break the arm of the wicked and the evil man;
Seek out his wickedness until You find none.

16 (N)The Lord is King forever and ever;
The nations have perished out of His land.
17 Lord, You have heard the desire of the humble;
You will prepare their heart;
You will cause Your ear to hear,
18 To [h]do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed,
That the man of the earth may [i]oppress no more.
