Psalms 37

1 Of David. Do not fret over those who do evil; do not envy those who do wrong.

1 不要因为恶人而烦躁， 也不要羡慕不义之人，

2 For they wither quickly like grass and wilt like tender plants.

2 因为他们如瞬息枯萎的草芥， 又如转眼消逝的青草。

3 Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.

3 要信靠耶和华，要行善， 要在这片土地上安然度日。

4 Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart.

4 要以耶和华为乐， 祂必成全你的心愿。

5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him, and He will do it.

5 要把你的路交托给耶和华， 信靠祂，祂必帮助你。

6 He will bring forth your righteousness like the dawn, your justice like the noonday sun.

6 祂使你的公义如晨光照耀， 使你的仁义如日中天。

7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for Him; do not fret when men prosper in their ways, when they carry out wicked schemes.

7 要在耶和华面前安静， 耐心等候祂， 不要因恶人道路通达、阴谋得逞而烦躁。

8 Refrain from anger and abandon wrath; do not fret—it can only bring harm.

8 你要抑制怒气，除掉愤怒； 不要烦躁不安， 那会导致你作恶。

9 For the evildoers will be cut off, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.

9 因为作恶的必被消灭， 但等候耶和华的必承受土地。

10 Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found.

10 再过片刻，恶人必不复存在， 虽寻遍其住处，也不见踪影。

11 But the meek will inherit the land and delight in abundant prosperity.

11 但谦卑人必承受土地， 得享太平昌盛。

12 The wicked scheme against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them,

12 恶人谋害义人， 对他们咬牙切齿。

13 but the Lord laughs, seeing that their day is coming.

13 但主嗤笑邪恶人， 因为祂知道他们末日将临。

14 The wicked have drawn the sword and bent the bow to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose ways are upright.

14 恶人拔剑张弓要消灭穷苦人， 杀戮正直人，

15 But their swords will pierce their own hearts, and their bows will be broken.

15 但他们的剑必刺穿自己的心， 他们的弓必被折断。

16 Better is the little of the righteous than the abundance of many who are wicked.

16 义人清贫一生强过恶人财富如山。

17 For the arms of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.

17 因为恶人的势力终必瓦解， 耶和华必扶持义人。

18 The LORD knows the days of the blameless, and their inheritance will last forever.

18 耶和华看顾纯全者的时日， 他们的产业永远长存。

19 In the time of evil they will not be ashamed, and in the days of famine they will be satisfied.

19 他们在灾难中不致蒙羞， 在饥荒时仍得饱足。

20 But the wicked and enemies of the LORD will perish like the glory of the fields. They will vanish; like smoke they will fade away.

20 但恶人必灭亡， 耶和华的仇敌必像野地的花一样凋零， 消逝如烟。

21 The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous are gracious and giving.

21 恶人借债不还， 义人慷慨给予。

22 Surely those He blesses will inherit the land, but the cursed will be destroyed.

22 蒙耶和华赐福的人必承受土地， 被耶和华咒诅的人必遭铲除。

23 The steps of a man are ordered by the LORD who takes delight in his journey.

23 耶和华巩固义人的脚步， 喜悦他们所走的路。

24 Though he falls, he will not be overwhelmed, for the LORD is holding his hand.

24 他们即使失脚，也不会跌倒， 因为耶和华的手扶持他们。

25 I once was young and now am old, yet never have I seen the righteous abandoned or their children begging for bread.

25 从幼年到老年， 我从未见过义人遭弃， 也未见其后人讨饭。

26 They are ever generous and quick to lend, and their children are a blessing.

26 他们总是乐善好施， 他们的后代都蒙祝福。

27 Turn away from evil and do good, so that you will abide forever.

27 你要离恶行善， 就必永远安居。

28 For the LORD loves justice and will not forsake His saints. They are preserved forever, but the offspring of the wicked will be cut off.

28 因为耶和华喜爱公正， 不丢弃信靠祂的人， 永远保护他们。 恶人的后代必被铲除。

29 The righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever.

29 义人必承受土地， 在地上永远安居。

30 The mouth of the righteous man utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.

30 义人口出智慧，诉说正义，

31 The law of his God is in his heart; his steps do not falter.

31 铭记上帝的律法， 从不失脚。

32 Though the wicked lie in wait for the righteous, and seek to slay them,

32 恶人窥探义人， 伺机谋害。

33 the LORD will not leave them in their power or let them be condemned under judgment.

33 但耶和华不会让他们落在恶人手中， 也不会让义人在审判时被定罪。

34 Wait for the LORD and keep His way, and He will raise you up to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you will see it.

34 要等候耶和华， 坚守祂的道， 祂必赐你土地，使你有尊荣。 你必亲眼看见恶人被铲除。

35 I have seen a wicked, ruthless man flourishing like a well-rooted native tree,

35 我见过邪恶残暴之人， 势如本地青翠的香柏树，

36 yet he passed away and was no more; though I searched, he could not be found.

36 再一看，他已经消失得无影无踪， 我寻找他，却找不到。

37 Consider the blameless and observe the upright, for posterity awaits the man of peace.

37 你观察那纯全正直的人， 因为和平的人前途美好。

38 But the transgressors will all be destroyed; the future of the wicked will be cut off.

38 罪人必同遭毁灭， 恶人必没有前途。

39 The salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; He is their stronghold in time of trouble.

39 耶和华拯救义人， 患难时作他们的庇护所。

40 The LORD helps and delivers them; He rescues and saves them from the wicked, because they take refuge in Him.

40 耶和华救助他们， 救他们脱离恶人，拯救他们， 因为他们投靠祂。
