第 36 篇
人的邪惡與上帝的美善
耶和華的僕人大衛的詩，交給樂長。
1罪惡在惡人內心深處說話，
他們眼中毫無對上帝的畏懼。
2他們自以為是，渾然不知自己的罪，
也不憎惡自己的罪。
3他們滿口惡言謊話，
毫無智慧和善行。
4他們躺在床上盤算作惡，
執意走罪惡的道路，
無惡不作。
5耶和華啊，你的慈愛廣及諸天，
你的信實高達穹蒼。
6你的公義穩如高山，
你的判斷深不可測。
耶和華啊，你保護人類，
也保護牲畜。
7上帝啊，
你的慈愛無比寶貴！
世人都在你的翅膀下尋求蔭庇。
8你讓他們飽享你殿裡的美食，
暢飲你樂河中的水。
9因為你是生命的泉源，
在你的光中我們得見光明。
10求你常施慈愛給認識你的人，
以公義恩待心地正直的人。
11別讓驕傲人的腳踐踏我，
別讓兇惡人的手驅趕我。
12看啊！惡人已經摔倒在地，
再也爬不起來。
Psalm 36
For the director of music. A psalm of David, the servant of the Lord.
1I have a message from God in my heart.
It is about the evil ways of anyone who sins.
They don’t have any respect for God.
2They praise themselves so much
that they can’t see their sin or hate it.
3Their mouths speak words that are evil and false.
They do not act wisely or do what is good.
4Even as they lie in bed they make evil plans.
They commit themselves to a sinful way of life.
They never say no to what is wrong.
5Lord, your love is as high as the heavens.
Your faithful love reaches up to the skies.
6Your holiness is as great as the height of the highest mountains.
You are as honest as the oceans are deep.
Lord, you keep people and animals safe.
7How priceless your faithful love is!
People find safety in the shadow of your wings.
8They eat well because there is more than enough in your house.
You let them drink from your river that flows with good things.
9You have the fountain of life.
We are filled with light because you give us light.
10Keep on loving those who know you.
Keep on doing right to those whose hearts are honest.
11Don’t let the feet of those who are proud step on me.
Don’t let the hands of those who are evil drive me away.
12See how those who do evil have fallen!
They are thrown down and can’t get up.
