| 37:1 | 〔大卫的诗。〕不要为作恶的、心怀不平、也不要向那行不义的、生出嫉妒。 | Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. |
| 37:2 | 因为他们如草快被割下、又如青菜快要枯干。 | For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. |
| 37:3 | 你当倚靠耶和华而行善.住在地上、以他的信实为粮. | Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. |
| 37:4 | 又要以耶和华为乐.他就将你心里所求的赐给你。 | Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. |
| 37:5 | 当将你的事交托耶和华、并倚靠他、他就必成全。 | Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. |
| 37:6 | 他要使你的公义、如光发出、使你的公平、明如正午。 | And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. |
| 37:7 | 你当默然倚靠耶和华、耐性等候他.不要因那道路通达的、和那恶谋成就的、心怀不平。 | Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. |
| 37:8 | 当止住怒气、离弃忿怒.不要心怀不平、以致作恶。 | Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. |
| 37:9 | 因为作恶的、必被剪除.惟有等候耶和华的、必承受地土。 | For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. |
| 37:10 | 还有片时、恶人要归于无有.你就是细察他的住处、也要归于无有。 | For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. |
| 37:11 | 但谦卑人必承受地土、以丰盛的平安为乐。 | But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. |
| 37:12 | 恶人设谋害义人、又向他咬牙。 | The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. |
| 37:13 | 主要笑他、因见他受罚的日子将要来到。 | The LORD shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming. |
| 37:14 | 恶人已经弓上弦、刀出鞘、要打倒困苦穷乏的人、要杀害行动正直的人。 | The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation. |
| 37:15 | 他们的刀、必刺入自己的心、他们的弓、必被折断。 | Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. |
| 37:16 | 一个义人所有的虽少、强过许多恶人的富余。 | A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked. |
| 37:17 | 因为恶人的膀臂、必被折断.但耶和华是扶持义人。 | For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous. |
| 37:18 | 耶和华知道完全人的日子.他们的产业、要存到永远。 | The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever. |
| 37:19 | 他们在急难的时候、不至羞愧、在饥荒的日子、必得饱足。 | They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. |
| 37:20 | 恶人却要灭亡.耶和华的仇敌、要像羊羔的脂油.〔或作像草地的华美〕他们要消灭、要如烟消灭。 | But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away. |
| 37:21 | 恶人借贷而不偿还.义人却恩待人、并且施舍。 | The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth. |
| 37:22 | 蒙耶和华赐福的、必承受地土.被他咒诅的、必被剪除。 | For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off. |
| 37:23 | 义人的脚步、被耶和华立定.他的道路、耶和华也喜爱。 | The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. |
| 37:24 | 他虽失脚、也不至全身仆倒.因为耶和华用手搀扶他。〔或作搀扶他的手〕 | Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. |
| 37:25 | 我从前年幼、现在年老、却未见过义人被弃.也未见过他的后裔讨饭。 | I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. |
| 37:26 | 他终日恩待人、借给人.他的后裔也蒙福。 | He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed. |
| 37:27 | 你当离恶行善、就可永远安居。 | Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore. |
| 37:28 | 因为耶和华喜爱公平、不撇弃他的圣民.他们永蒙保佑.但恶人的后裔必被剪除。 | For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. |
| 37:29 | 义人必承受地土、永居其上。 | The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. |
| 37:30 | 义人的口谈论智慧、他的舌头讲说公平。 | The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. |
| 37:31 | 神的律法在他心里.他的脚总不滑跌。 | The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. |
| 37:32 | 恶人窥探义人、想要杀他。 | The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him. |
| 37:33 | 耶和华必不撇他在恶人手中、当审判的时候、也不定他的罪。 | The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged. |
| 37:34 | 你当等候耶和华、遵守他的道、他就抬举你、使你承受地土.恶人被剪除的时候、你必看见。 | Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. |
| 37:35 | 我见过恶人大有势力、好像一根青翠树在本土生发。 | I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. |
| 37:36 | 有人从那里经过、不料、他没有了.我也寻找他、却寻不着。 | Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. |
| 37:37 | 你要细察那完全人、观看那正直人.因为和平人有好结局。 | Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace. |
| 37:38 | 至于犯法的人、必一同灭绝.恶人终必剪除。 | But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off. |
| 37:39 | 但义人得救、是由于耶和华.他在患难时作他们的营寨。 | But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble. |
| 37:40 | 耶和华帮助他们、解救他们.他解救他们脱离恶人、把他们救出来、因为他们投靠他。 | And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him. |
