1 For the chief music-maker. Of David. In the Lord put I my faith; how will you say to my soul, Go in flight like a bird to the mountain?2 See, the bows of the evil-doers are bent, they make ready their arrows on the cord, so that they may send them secretly against the upright in heart.3 If the bases are broken down, what is the upright man to do?4 The Lord is in his holy Temple, the Lord's seat is in heaven; his eyes are watching and testing the children of men.5 The Lord puts the upright and the sinner to the test, but he has hate in his soul for the lover of violent acts.6 On the evil-doer he will send down fire and flames, and a burning wind; with these will their cup be full.7 For the Lord is upright; he is a lover of righteousness: the upright will see his face.
1 我投靠耶和华, 你们怎么对我说: "你要像飞鸟逃到你的山上去。(本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题) 2 看哪! 恶人的弓已经拉开, 箭已经上弦, 要从暗处射那心里正直的人。 3 根基既然毁坏, 义人还能作什么呢?" 4 耶和华在他的圣殿里, 耶和华的宝座在天上, 他的眼睛观看, 他的目光察验世人。 5 耶和华试验义人和恶人, 他的心恨恶喜爱强暴的人。 6 耶和华必使火炭落在恶人身上, 烈火、硫磺和旱风是他们杯中的分。 7 因为耶和华是公义的, 他喜爱公义的行为, 正直的人必得见他的面。
