12:1
|
(大卫的诗,交与伶长。调用第八。)耶和华啊,求你帮助,因虔诚人断绝了;世人中间的忠信人没有了。
|
|
(Psalm 12 For the Chief Musician; set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David.)Help, Jehovah; for the godly man ceaseth; For the faithful fail from among the children of men.
|
12:2
|
人人向邻舍说谎;他们说话,是嘴唇油滑,心口不一。
|
|
They speak falsehood every one with his neighbor: With flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.
|
12:3
|
凡油滑的嘴唇和夸大的舌头,耶和华必要剪除。
|
|
Jehovah will cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that speaketh great things;
|
12:4
|
他们曾说:我们必能以舌头得胜;我们的嘴唇是我们自己的,谁能作我们的主呢?
|
|
Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; Our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
|
12:5
|
耶和华说:因为困苦人的冤屈和贫穷人的叹息,我现在要起来,把他安置在他所切慕的稳妥之地。
|
|
Because of the oppression of the poor, because of the sighing of the needy, Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; I will set him in the safety he panteth for.
|
12:6
|
耶和华的言语是纯净的言语,如同银子在泥炉中炼过七次。
|
|
The words of Jehovah are pure words; As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, Purified seven times.
|
12:7
|
耶和华啊,你必保护他们;你必保佑他们永远脱离这世代的人。
|
|
Thou wilt keep them, O Jehovah, Thou wilt preserve them from this generation for ever.
|
12:8
|
下流人在世人中升高,就有恶人到处游行。
|
|
The wicked walk on every side, When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
