诗篇 37
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
大卫的诗。
义人和恶人的结局
37 不要为作恶的心怀不平，
也不要嫉妒那行不义的人。
2 因为他们如草快被割下，
又如绿色的嫩草快要枯干。
3 你当倚靠耶和华而行善，
安居地上，以他的信实为粮；
4 又当以耶和华为乐，
他就将你心里所求的赐给你。
5 当将你的道路交托耶和华，
并倚靠他，他就必成全。
6 他要使你的公义如光发出，
使你的公平明如正午。
7 你当安心倚靠耶和华，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。
8 当止住怒气，离弃愤怒；
不要心怀不平，以致作恶。
9 因为作恶的必被剪除；
惟有等候耶和华的必承受土地。
10 还有片时，恶人要归于无有；
你就是细察他的住处，也不存在。
11 但谦卑的人必承受土地，
以丰盛的平安为乐。
12 恶人设谋要害义人，
向他咬牙。
13 但主必笑他，
因见他受罚的日子将要来到。
14 恶人刀已出鞘，弓已上弦，
要砍倒困苦贫穷的人，
要杀害行为正直的人。
15 他们的刀必刺入自己的心，
他们的弓必折断。
16 一个义人所有的虽少，
强过许多恶人的富余。
17 因为恶人的膀臂必折断；
但耶和华扶持义人。
18 耶和华知道完全人的日子，
他们的产业要存到永远。
19 他们在患难的时候必不致羞愧，
在饥荒的日子必得饱足。
21 恶人借贷却不偿还；
义人恩待人，并且施舍。
22 蒙耶和华赐福的必承受土地；
他所诅咒的必被剪除。
23 义人的脚步为耶和华所稳定；
他的道路，耶和华也喜爱。
24 他虽失脚也不致全身仆倒，
因为耶和华搀扶他的手。
25 我从前年幼，现在年老，
却未见过义人被弃，
也未见过他的后裔求乞。
26 他常常恩待人，借贷给人，
他的后裔也必蒙福。
27 你当离恶行善，
就可永远安居。
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。
29 义人必承受土地，
永居其上。
30 义人的口发出智慧，
他的舌头讲说公平。
31 神的律法在他心里，
他的步伐总不摇动。
32 恶人窥探义人，
想要杀他。
33 耶和华必不把他交在恶人手中，
当审判的时候，也不定他的罪。
34 你当等候耶和华，遵守他的道，
他就抬举你，使你承受土地；
你必看到恶人被剪除。
35 我见过恶人大有势力，
高耸如本地青翠的树木。
36 有人[c]从那里经过，看哪，他已不存在，
我寻找他，却寻不着了。
37 你要细察那完全人，观看那正直人，
因为和平的人有好结局。
38 至于罪人，必一同灭绝，
恶人的结局必被剪除。
39 义人得救是出于耶和华，
在患难时耶和华作他们的避难所。
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。
Psalm 37
New King James Version
The Heritage of the Righteous and the Calamity of the Wicked
A Psalm of David.
37 Do(A) not fret because of evildoers,
Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.
2 For they shall soon be cut down (B)like the grass,
And wither as the green herb.
3 Trust in the Lord, and do good;
Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
4 (C)Delight yourself also in the Lord,
And He shall give you the desires of your (D)heart.
5 (E)Commit[a] your way to the Lord,
Trust also in Him,
And He shall bring it to pass.
6 (F)He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light,
And your justice as the noonday.
7 Rest in the Lord, (G)and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who (H)prospers in his way,
Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
8 (I)Cease from anger, and forsake wrath;
(J)Do not fret—it only causes harm.
9 For evildoers shall be [b]cut off;
But those who wait on the Lord,
They shall (K)inherit the earth.
10 For (L)yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more;
Indeed, (M)you will look carefully for his place,
But it shall be no more.
11 (N)But the meek shall inherit the earth,
And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12 The wicked plots against the just,
(O)And gnashes at him with his teeth.
13 (P)The Lord laughs at him,
For He sees that (Q)his day is coming.
14 The wicked have drawn the sword
And have bent their bow,
To cast down the poor and needy,
To slay those who are of upright conduct.
15 Their sword shall enter their own heart,
And their bows shall be broken.
16 (R)A little that a righteous man has
Is better than the riches of many wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,
But the Lord upholds the righteous.
18 The Lord knows the days of the upright,
And their inheritance shall be forever.
19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time,
And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20 But the wicked shall perish;
And the enemies of the Lord,
Like the splendor of the meadows, shall vanish.
Into smoke they shall vanish away.
21 The wicked borrows and does not repay,
But (S)the righteous shows mercy and gives.
22 (T)For those blessed by Him shall inherit the earth,
But those cursed by Him shall be [c]cut off.
23 (U)The steps of a good man are [d]ordered by the Lord,
And He delights in his way.
24 (V)Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;
For the Lord upholds him with His hand.
25 I have been young, and now am old;
Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,
Nor his descendants begging bread.
26 (W)He is [e]ever merciful, and lends;
And his descendants are blessed.
27 Depart from evil, and do good;
And dwell forevermore.
28 For the Lord loves justice,
And does not forsake His saints;
They are preserved forever,
But the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 (X)The righteous shall inherit the land,
And dwell in it forever.
30 (Y)The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom,
And his tongue talks of justice.
31 The law of his God is in his heart;
None of his steps shall [f]slide.
32 The wicked (Z)watches the righteous,
And seeks to slay him.
33 The Lord (AA)will not leave him in his hand,
Nor condemn him when he is judged.
34 (AB)Wait on the Lord,
And keep His way,
And He shall exalt you to inherit the land;
When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
35 I have seen the wicked in great power,
And spreading himself like a native green tree.
36 Yet [g]he passed away, and behold, he was no more;
Indeed I sought him, but he could not be found.
37 Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright;
For the future of that man is peace.
38 (AC)But the transgressors shall be destroyed together;
The future of the wicked shall be cut off.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;
He is their strength (AD)in the time of trouble.
40 And (AE)the Lord shall help them and deliver them;
He shall deliver them from the wicked,
And save them,
(AF)Because they trust in Him.

He Will Not Forsake His Saints
[a] Of David.

be not (B)envious of wrongdoers!
2 For they will soon (C)fade like (D)the grass
and wither (E)like the green herb.

(G)dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.[b]

(O)fret not yourself over the one who (P)prospers in his way,
over the man who carries out evil devices!
8 (Q)Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath!
(R)Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.
9 (S)For the evildoers shall be cut off,
but those who wait for the Lord shall (T)inherit the land.
10 In (U)just a little while, the wicked will be no more;
though you look carefully at (V)his place, he will not be there.
11 But (W)the meek shall inherit the land
and delight themselves in (X)abundant peace.
12 The wicked (Y)plots against the righteous
and (Z)gnashes his teeth at him,
13 but the Lord (AA)laughs at the wicked,
for he sees that his (AB)day is coming.
14 The wicked draw the sword and (AC)bend their bows
to bring down the poor and needy,
to slay those whose (AD)way is upright;
15 their sword shall enter their own heart,
and their (AE)bows shall be broken.
16 (AF)Better is the little that the righteous has
than the abundance of many wicked.
17 For (AG)the arms of the wicked shall be broken,
but the Lord (AH)upholds the righteous.
18 The Lord (AI)knows the days of the blameless,
and their (AJ)heritage will remain forever;
19 they are not put to shame in evil times;
in (AK)the days of famine they have abundance.
20 But the wicked will perish;
the enemies of the Lord are like (AL)the glory of the pastures;
they vanish—like (AM)smoke they vanish away.
21 The wicked borrows but does not pay back,
but the righteous (AN)is generous and gives;
22 for those blessed by the Lord[c] shall (AO)inherit the land,
but those cursed by him (AP)shall be cut off.
23 The (AQ)steps of a man are (AR)established by the Lord,
when he delights in his way;
24 (AS)though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong,
for the Lord (AT)upholds his hand.
25 I have been young, and now am old,
yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken
or his children (AU)begging for bread.
26 He is ever (AV)lending generously,
and his children become a blessing.
27 (AW)Turn away from evil and do good;
so shall you (AX)dwell forever.
28 For the Lord (AY)loves justice;
he will not forsake his (AZ)saints.
They are preserved forever,
but the children of the wicked shall be (BA)cut off.
29 The righteous shall inherit the land
and (BB)dwell upon it forever.
30 The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom,
and his tongue speaks justice.
31 (BC)The law of his God is in his heart;
his (BD)steps do not slip.
32 The wicked (BE)watches for the righteous
and seeks to put him to death.
33 The Lord will not (BF)abandon him to his power
or let him (BG)be condemned when he is brought to trial.
34 (BH)Wait for the Lord and keep his way,
and he will exalt you to inherit the land;
you will look on (BI)when the wicked are cut off.
35 (BJ)I have seen a wicked, ruthless man,
spreading himself like (BK)a green laurel tree.[d]
36 But he passed away,[e] and behold, (BL)he was no more;
though I sought him, he could not be found.
37 Mark the blameless and behold the upright,
for there is a future for the man of (BM)peace.
38 But (BN)transgressors shall be altogether destroyed;
the future of the wicked (BO)shall be cut off.
39 (BP)The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;
he is their stronghold in (BQ)the time of trouble.
40 The Lord helps them and (BR)delivers them;
(BS)he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
