主必拯救锡安
1你们这些毁灭别人、自己还未被毁灭的人有祸了！
等你们毁灭完了，就毁灭你们。
你们这些欺诈别人、自己还未被欺诈的人有祸了！
等你们欺诈完了，就欺诈你们。
2耶和华啊，求你施恩给我们，
我们等候你。
求你每天早晨都作我们的力量，
在艰难的时候拯救我们。
3你大喊一声，列邦都奔逃；
你一站起来，列国都溃散。
4他们的战利品必被拿走，
就像谷物被蝗虫吃掉一样；
人们像蝗虫一样扑向他们的战利品。
5耶和华受尊崇，
因为祂住在高天之上，
祂必使锡安充满公平和公义。
6祂必成为你一生的保障，
使你得到丰盛的救恩、智慧和知识。
敬畏耶和华是你最大的宝藏。
7看啊，他们的勇士在街上哀号，
求和的使者悲痛哭泣。
8大路荒凉，行人绝迹。
条约被废，城邑被弃，
人民遭藐视。
9地上一片荒凉，
黎巴嫩的树木枯干，
沙仑好像旷野，
巴珊和迦密的树叶凋零。
10耶和华说：
“我现在要施展大能，
我必受尊崇。
11你们所谋的像糠秕，
所行的如碎秸，毫无价值。
你们的气息会像火一样烧灭你们自己。
12列邦必被烧成灰烬，
好像割下的荆棘被火焚烧。”
13远方的人啊，
要听一听我的作为。
近处的人啊，
要承认我的大能。
14锡安的罪人恐惧，
不敬虔的人颤抖。
他们说：“我们谁能住在烈火中呢？
谁能住在永不止息的火焰里呢？”
15秉公行义、说话正直、
憎恶不义之财、不受贿赂、
掩耳不听害人之谋、
闭眼不看邪恶之事的人，
16才可以住在高处。
他们的堡垒是坚固的磐石，
他们必不会绝粮断水。
17你们必目睹君王的荣美，
看到辽阔的土地，
18你们必想起以往可怕的情景，
说：“登记人口的在哪里？
收贡银的在哪里？
数城楼的在哪里？”
19你们再也看不见那些残暴之徒了，
他们的言语奇怪、陌生、
无法听懂。
20你们看锡安——我们守节期的城！
你们必看见耶路撒冷成为安宁之地，
像一个永不挪移的帐篷，
橛子永不拔出，
绳索也不会断。
21在那里，威严的耶和华必与我们同在。
那里必如巨川大河流经之地，
敌人的大小船只都无法穿过。
22因为耶和华是我们的审判官，
是我们的立法者，
是我们的君王，
是我们的拯救者。
23敌人的帆索松开，
桅杆晃动不稳，
风帆无法扬起。
那时，大量的战利品将被瓜分，
甚至瘸子都分得一份。
24耶路撒冷必没有居民说：
“我生病了”，
城中百姓的罪恶必得到赦免。
1Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee. 2O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble. 3At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered. 4And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them. 5The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness. 6And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.33.6 salvation: Heb. salvations 7Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.33.7 valiant…: or, messengers 8The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man. 9The earth mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.33.9 hewn…: or, withered away 10Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself. 11Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you. 12And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
13¶ Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might. 14The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? 15He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;33.15 righteously: Heb. in righteousnesses33.15 uprightly: Heb. uprightnesses33.15 oppressions: or, deceits33.15 blood: Heb. bloods 16He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.33.16 high: Heb. heights, or, high places 17Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.33.17 that…: Heb. of far distances 18Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?33.18 receiver: Heb. weigher? 19Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.33.19 stammering: or, ridiculous 20Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken. 21But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.33.21 of…: Heb. broad of spaces, or, hands 22For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.33.22 lawgiver: Heb. statutemaker 23Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.33.23 Thy…: or, They have forsaken thy tacklings 24And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
