1.为领袖;用低音琴。是大卫的一首诗。For the leader; on the sheminith. A psalm of David.
2.求永恒的主帮助,
因为忠诚的人不再存在,
忠心的人从世人中消失了。Help, O ETERNAL One!For the faithful are no more;the loyal have vanished from among mortals.
3.人们彼此说谎言;
他们的言语油滑;
他们说話虛偽。People speak lies to one another;their speech is smooth;they talk with duplicity.
4.愿上帝剪除一切谄媚的嘴唇,剪除一切说骄傲话的舌头。May GOD cut off all flattering lips,every tongue that speaks arrogance.
5.他们说:“我们要靠舌头得胜,嘴唇是我们的,我们谁还能管辖我们呢?”They say, “By our tongues we shall prevail;with lips such as ours, who can be our master?”
6.因为被剥削的穷人和贫民的哀叹,我现在要行动,神说。我要给予帮助,神向他们肯定。“Because of the groans of the plundered poor and needy,I will now act,” says GOD.“I will give help,” [God] affirms to them.
7.上帝的敌人将被击溃——
从天上受到雷击。
上帝将判断地极的居民——
赐力量给王,
并使受膏者得胜。GOD’s words are pure words,silver purged in an earthen crucible,refined sevenfold.
8.你,这永恒的主,将保护他们,守护他们直到永远,从这世代开始You, O ETERNAL One, will keep them,guarding each from this age evermore.
9.在各处,恶人自由出入,当人间崇尚卑鄙时。On every side the wicked roamwhen baseness is exalted among mortals.
