1 勇士啊! 你为什么以作恶自夸呢? 神的慈爱是常存的。
2 你图谋毁灭, 你的舌头锋利像剃刀, 常弄诡诈。
3 你喜爱作恶过于行善, 喜爱撒谎过于说实话。(细拉)
4 你喜爱你诡诈的舌头, 所说一切毁灭人的话。
5 神必把你永远拆毁; 他必把你挪去, 把你从帐棚中揪出来, 把你从活人之地连根拔起。(细拉)
6 义人必看见而惧怕; 他们必讥笑他, 说:
7 "看哪! 这就是那不以 神为自己保障的人, 他只倚靠自己丰盛的财富, 以毁灭别人来加强自己的力量。"
8 至于我, 我就像 神殿中茂盛的橄榄树一样; 我倚靠 神的慈爱, 直到永永远远。
9 我要永远称谢你, 因为你行了这事; 我必在你圣民的面前, 宣扬("宣扬"原文作"仰望")你的名, 因你的名是美好的。
1 Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man?
The lovingkindness of God endureth continually.
2 Thy tongue deviseth very wickedness,
Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3 Thou lovest evil more than good,
And lying rather than to speak righteousness. [Selah
4 Thou lovest all devouring words,
O thou deceitful tongue.
5 God will likewise destroy thee for ever;
He will take thee up, and pluck thee out of thy tent,
And root thee out of the land of the living. [Selah
6 The righteous also shall see it, and fear,
And shall laugh at him, saying,
7 Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength,
But trusted in the abundance of his riches,
And strengthened himself in his wickedness.
8 But as for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God:
I trust in the lovingkindness of God for ever and ever.
9 I will give thee thanks for ever, because thou hast done it;
And I will hope in thy name, for it is good, in the presence of thy saints.
