第 94 篇
上帝是审判者
1耶和华啊，你是申冤的上帝；
申冤的上帝啊，
求你彰显你的荣光。
2审判世界的主啊，
求你起来使骄傲人受到应得的报应。
3耶和华啊，
恶人洋洋得意，要到何时呢？
要到何时呢？
4他们大放厥词，狂妄自大。
5耶和华啊，他们压迫你的子民，
苦害你的产业。
6他们谋害寡妇、外族人和孤儿，
7并说：“耶和华看不见，
雅各的上帝不会知道。”
8愚昧的人啊，你们要思想；
无知的人啊，你们何时才能明白呢？
9难道创造耳朵的上帝听不见吗？
难道创造眼睛的上帝看不见吗？
10管教列国的上帝难道不惩罚你们吗？
赐知识的上帝难道不知道吗？
11耶和华洞悉人的思想，
祂知道人的思想虚妄，
12耶和华啊，蒙你管教并用律法训诲的人有福了！
13你使他们在患难中有平安，
恶人终必灭亡。
14耶和华不会丢弃祂的子民，
也不会遗弃祂的产业。
15公正的审判必重现，
心地正直的人都必拥护。
16谁肯为我奋起攻击恶人？
谁肯为我起来抵挡作恶的人？
17耶和华若不帮助我，
我早已归入死亡的沉寂中了。
18我说：“我要倒下了！”
耶和华啊，你便以慈爱扶助我。
19当我忧心忡忡的时候，
你的抚慰带给我欢乐。
20借律例制造不幸的首领，
岂能与你联盟？
21他们结党攻击义人，
残害无辜。
22但耶和华是我的堡垒，
我的上帝是保护我的磐石。
23祂必使恶人自食恶果，
因他们的罪恶而毁灭他们。
我们的上帝耶和华必毁灭他们。
Psalm 94
1The Lord is a God who punishes.
Since you are the one who punishes, come and show your anger.
2Judge of the earth, rise up.
Pay back proud people for what they have done.
3Lord, how long will those who are evil be glad?
How long will they be full of joy?
4Proud words pour out of their mouths.
All those who do evil are always bragging.
5Lord, they crush your people.
They treat badly those who belong to you.
6They kill outsiders. They kill widows.
They murder children whose fathers have died.
7They say, “The Lord doesn’t see what’s happening.
The God of Jacob doesn’t pay any attention to it.”
8You who aren’t wise, pay attention.
You foolish people, when will you become wise?
9Does he who made the ear not hear?
Does he who formed the eye not see?
10Does he who corrects nations not punish?
Does he who teaches human beings not know anything?
11The Lord knows what people think.
He knows that their thoughts don’t amount to anything.
12Lord, blessed is the person you correct.
Blessed is the person you teach from your law.
13You give them rest from times of trouble,
until a pit is dug to trap sinners.
14The Lord won’t say no to his people.
He will never desert those who belong to him.
15He will again judge people in keeping with what is right.
All those who have honest hearts will follow the right way.
16Who will rise up for me against sinful people?
Who will stand up for me against those who do evil?
17Suppose the Lord had not helped me.
Then I would soon have been lying quietly in the grave.
18I said, “My foot is slipping.”
But Lord, your faithful love kept me from falling.
19I was very worried.
But your comfort brought me joy.
20Can you have anything to do with rulers who aren’t fair?
Can those who make laws that cause suffering be friends of yours?
21Evil people join together against those who do what is right.
They sentence to death those who aren’t guilty of doing anything wrong.
22But the Lord has become like a fort to me.
My God is my rock. I go to him for safety.
23He will pay them back for their sins.
He will destroy them for their evil acts.
The Lord our God will destroy them.
