1 Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and that dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! When thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; when thou shalt make an end of dealing treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
2 Jehovah, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be their arm every morning, yea, our salvation in the time of trouble.
3 At the noise of the tumult the peoples fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.
4 And your spoil shall be gathered {like} the gathering of the caterpillar: as the running of locusts shall they run upon it.
5 Jehovah is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with justice and righteousness;
6 and he shall be the stability of thy times, the riches of salvation, wisdom and knowledge: the fear of Jehovah shall be your treasure.
7 Behold, their valiant ones cry without; the messengers of peace weep bitterly.
8 The highways are desolate, the wayfaring man ceaseth. He hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.
9 The land mourneth, it languisheth; Lebanon is ashamed, is withered; the Sharon is become as a desert, and Bashan and Carmel are stripped.
10 Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; now will I be exalted, now will I lift up myself.
11 Ye shall conceive dry grass, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath shall devour you {as} fire.
12 And the peoples shall be {as} burnings of lime, {as} thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
13 Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and ye that are near, acknowledge my might.
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling hath surprised the hypocrites: Who among us shall dwell with the consuming fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting flames?
15 -He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from taking hold of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil:
16 he shall dwell on high, the fortresses of the rocks shall be his high retreat; bread shall be given him, his water shall be sure.
17 Thine eyes shall see the King in his beauty; they shall behold the land that is far off.
18 Thy heart shall meditate on terror: Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?
19 Thou shalt no more see the fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst comprehend, of a stammering tongue that cannot be understood.
20 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed, the stakes whereof shall never be pulled up, neither shall any of its cords be broken;
21 but there Jehovah is unto us glorious, -a place of rivers, of broad streams: no galley with oars shall go there, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.
22 For Jehovah is our judge, Jehovah, our lawgiver, Jehovah, our king: he will save us.
23 Thy tacklings are loosed; they strengthen not the socket of their mast, they cannot spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.
24 And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven {their} iniquity.
1 你这毁灭人， 自己却不被毁灭的； 你这行事诡诈， 别人倒不以诡诈待你的， 有祸了！ 你刚停止毁灭人的时候， 自己就要被毁灭； 你刚停止行诡诈的时候， 别人就必以诡诈待你。
2 耶和华啊！ 求你施恩给我们； 我们等候你。每天早晨， 愿你作我们的膀臂， 在遭难的时候， 作我们的拯救。
3 喧嚷的声音一发， 众民必逃跑； 你一兴起， 列国就四散。
4 列国啊！ 你们所掳掠的必被收取， 像蚂蚱收取禾稼一样； 蝗虫怎样为食物忙碌走动， 人也怎样在掳物上忙乱。
5 耶和华必被尊崇， 因为他居住在高天； 他必以公平与公义充满锡安。
6 他是你一生一世的保障、丰盛的救恩、智慧和知识； 敬畏耶和华就是你的至宝。
7 看哪！ 他们的勇士在街上呼叫； 和平的使者在痛苦哭泣。
8 大路荒凉， 过路的人绝迹； 敌人背约， 藐视约章， 不尊重任何人。
9 大地悲哀衰残， 黎巴嫩羞惭枯干； 沙仑好像荒原， 巴珊和迦密的树木凋零。
10 耶和华说： "现在我要起来， 现在我要兴起， 现在我要被人尊崇。
11 你们所怀的是糠秕， 所生的是碎秸； 我的气息必像火一般吞灭你们。
12 众民必像燃烧的石灰， 又像被割下的荆棘， 在火中焚烧。
13 远方的人哪！ 你们要听我所作的事； 近处的人哪！ 你们要承认我的大能。"
14 在锡安的罪人都恐惧； 战兢抓住了不敬虔的人： "我们中间谁能与吞灭一切的火同住呢？我们中间谁能与不断燃烧的火同住呢？"
15 那行事公义， 说话正直， 拒绝不义的财利， 摇手不受贿赂， 塞耳不听血腥的事， 闭眼不看邪恶的事的，
16 这样的人必居住在高处， 他的保障必在坚固的磐石上， 他的粮食必有供应， 他的水源永不断绝。
17 你必亲眼看见王的荣美， 必看见辽阔之地。
18 你的心必默想已往的恐惧， 说： "那记数目的在哪里？那称贡银的在哪里？那数点城楼的在哪里呢？"
19 你必不再见那强暴的民了， 就是那说话深奥， 难以明白， 舌头结巴， 难以听懂的民。
20 你要看着锡安， 就是我们举行制定节期的城， 你必看见耶路撒冷， 是一个安全的居所， 一个不挪移的帐幕， 它的橛子永不会拔起来， 它的绳索也不会扯断。
21 在那里， 威严的耶和华必作我们江河宽渠溢流之地。必没有荡桨摇橹的船只能在其上往来， 威武的战船也不能经过。
22 因为耶和华是我们的审判者， 耶和华是我们的立法者， 耶和华是我们的君王， 他必拯救我们。
23 现在你的绳索虽然松开， 不能绑紧桅杆， 也不能扬起帆来， 但到那时， 许多掳物必被你们瓜分， 甚至瘸腿的也能把掠物掠去。
24 以色列的居民必不再说： "我有病"； 因为在其中居住的， 罪孽必得赦免。
