12:0
לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ עַֽל־הַשְּׁמִינִ֗ית מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד׃
For the Chief Musician; upon the eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm by David.
大衛的詩,交與伶長。調用第八。
12:1
הוֹשִׁ֣יעָה יְ֭הֹוָה כִּֽי־גָמַ֣ר חָסִ֑יד כִּי־פַ֥סּוּ אֱ֝מוּנִ֗ים מִבְּנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃
Help, Yahweh; for the godly man ceases. For the faithful fail from among the children of men.
耶和華啊,求你幫助,因虔誠人斷絕了; 世人中間的忠信人沒有了。
12:2
שָׁ֤וְא׀ יְֽדַבְּרוּ֮ אִ֤ישׁ אֶת־רֵ֫עֵ֥הוּ שְׂפַ֥ת חֲלָק֑וֹת בְּלֵ֖ב וָלֵ֣ב יְדַבֵּֽרוּ׃
Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.
人人向鄰舍說謊; 他們說話,是嘴唇油滑,心口不一。
12:3
יַכְרֵ֣ת יְ֭הֹוָה כׇּל־שִׂפְתֵ֣י חֲלָק֑וֹת לָ֝שׁ֗וֹן מְדַבֶּ֥רֶת גְּדֹלֽוֹת׃
May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts,
凡油滑的嘴唇和誇大的舌頭, 耶和華必要剪除。
12:4
אֲשֶׁ֤ר אָמְר֨וּ׀ לִלְשֹׁנֵ֣נוּ נַ֭גְבִּיר שְׂפָתֵ֣ינוּ אִתָּ֑נוּ מִ֖י אָד֣וֹן לָֽנוּ׃
who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?”
他們曾說:我們必能以舌頭得勝; 我們的嘴唇是我們自己的, 誰能作我們的主呢?
12:5
מִשֹּׁ֥ד עֲנִיִּים֮ מֵאֶנְקַ֢ת אֶבְי֫וֹנִ֥ים עַתָּ֣ה אָ֭קוּם יֹאמַ֣ר יְהֹוָ֑ה אָשִׁ֥ית בְּ֝יֵ֗שַׁע יָפִ֥יחַֽ־לֽוֹ׃
“Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says Yahweh; “I will set him in safety from those who malign him.”
耶和華說:因為困苦人的冤屈 和貧窮人的歎息, 我現在要起來, 把他安置在他所切慕的穩妥之地。
12:6
אִ֥מְר֣וֹת יְהֹוָה֮ אֲמָר֢וֹת טְהֹ֫ר֥וֹת כֶּ֣סֶף צָ֭רוּף בַּעֲלִ֣יל לָאָ֑רֶץ מְ֝זֻקָּ֗ק שִׁבְעָתָֽיִם׃
Yahweh’s words are flawless words, as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.
耶和華的言語是純淨的言語, 如同銀子在泥爐中煉過七次。
12:7
אַתָּֽה־יְהֹוָ֥ה תִּשְׁמְרֵ֑ם תִּצְּרֶ֓נּוּ׀ מִן־הַדּ֖וֹר ז֣וּ לְעוֹלָֽם׃
You will keep them, Yahweh. You will preserve them from this generation forever.
耶和華啊,你必保護他們; 你必保佑他們永遠脫離這世代的人。
12:8
סָבִ֗יב רְשָׁעִ֥ים יִתְהַלָּכ֑וּן כְּרֻ֥ם זֻ֝לּ֗וּת לִבְנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃ {פ}
The wicked walk on every side, when what is vile is exalted among the sons of men.
下流人在世人中升高, 就有惡人到處遊行。
