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.
第 94 篇
上帝是審判者
1耶和華啊，你是伸冤的上帝；
伸冤的上帝啊，
求你彰顯你的榮光。
2審判世界的主啊，
求你起來使驕傲人受到應得的報應。
3耶和華啊，
惡人洋洋得意，要到何時呢？
要到何時呢？
4他們大放厥詞，狂妄自大。
5耶和華啊，他們壓迫你的子民，
苦害你的產業。
6他們謀害寡婦、外族人和孤兒，
7並說：「耶和華看不見，
雅各的上帝不會知道。」
8愚昧的人啊，你們要思想；
無知的人啊，你們何時才能明白呢？
9難道創造耳朵的上帝聽不見嗎？
難道創造眼睛的上帝看不見嗎？
10管教列國的上帝難道不懲罰你們嗎？
賜知識的上帝難道不知道嗎？
11耶和華洞悉人的思想，
祂知道人的思想虛妄，
12耶和華啊，蒙你管教並用律法訓誨的人有福了！
13你使他們在患難中有平安，
惡人終必滅亡。
14耶和華不會丟棄祂的子民，
也不會遺棄祂的產業。
15公正的審判必重現，
心地正直的人都必擁護。
16誰肯為我奮起攻擊惡人？
誰肯為我起來抵擋作惡的人？
17耶和華若不幫助我，
我早已歸入死亡的沉寂中了。
18我說：「我要倒下了！」
耶和華啊，你便以慈愛扶助我。
19當我憂心忡忡的時候，
你的撫慰帶給我歡樂。
20藉律例製造不幸的首領，
豈能與你聯盟？
21他們結黨攻擊義人，
殘害無辜。
22但耶和華是我的堡壘，
我的上帝是保護我的磐石。
23祂必使惡人自食惡果，
因他們的罪惡而毀滅他們。
我們的上帝耶和華必毀滅他們。
