37:1 不要為作惡的、心懷不平、也不要向那行不義的、生出嫉妒。
Do not fret because of
evildoers, Be not envious toward wrongdoers.
37:2
因為他們如草快被割下、又如青菜快要枯乾。
For they will wither
quickly like the grass And fade like the green herb.
37:3 你當倚靠耶和華而行善．住在地上、以他的信實為糧．
Trust in the LORD and do good; Dwell
in the land and cultivate faithfulness.
37:4 又要以耶和華為樂．他就將你心裡所求的賜給你。
Delight yourself in the LORD; And He
will give you the desires of your heart.
37:5 當將你的事交託耶和華、並倚靠他、他就必成全。
Commit your way to the LORD, Trust
also in Him, and He will do it.
37:6 他要使你的公義、如光發出、使你的公平、明如正午。
He will bring forth your
righteousness as the light And your judgment as the noonday.
37:7 你當默然倚靠耶和華、耐性等候他．不要因那道路通達的、和那惡謀成就的、心懷不平。
Rest in the LORD and wait patiently
for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes.
37:8 當止住怒氣、離棄忿怒．不要心懷不平、以致作惡。
Cease from anger and
forsake wrath; Do not fret; it leads only to evildoing.
37:9 因為作惡的、必被剪除．惟有等候耶和華的、必承受地土。
For evildoers will be cut
off, But those who wait for the LORD, they will inherit the land.
37:10
還有片時、惡人要歸於無有．你就是細察他的住處、也要歸於無有。
Yet a little while and the
wicked man will be no more; And you will look carefully for his
place and he will not be there.
37:11
但謙卑人必承受地土、以豐盛的平安為樂。
But the humble will inherit the land
And will delight themselves in abundant prosperity.
37:12 惡人設謀害義人、又向他咬牙。
The wicked plots against
the righteous And gnashes at him with his teeth.
37:13
主要笑他、因見他受罰的日子將要來到。
The Lord laughs at him, For
He sees his day is coming.
37:14
惡人已經弓上弦、刀出鞘、要打倒困苦窮乏的人、要殺害行動正直的人。
The wicked have drawn the
sword and bent their bow To cast down the afflicted and the
needy, To slay those who are upright in conduct.
37:15
他們的刀、必刺入自己的心、他們的弓、必被折斷。
Their sword will enter
their own heart, And their bows will be broken.
37:16 一個義人所有的雖少、強過許多惡人的富餘。
Better is the little of the righteous
Than the abundance of many wicked.
37:17
因為惡人的膀臂、必被折斷．但耶和華是扶持義人。
For the arms of the wicked
will be broken, But the LORD sustains the righteous.
37:18 耶和華知道完全人的日子．他們的產業、要存到永遠。
The LORD knows the days of the
blameless, And their inheritance will be forever.
37:19 他們在急難的時候、不至羞愧、在饑荒的日子、必得飽足。
They will not be ashamed in the time
of evil, And in the days of famine they will have abundance.
37:20
惡人卻要滅亡．耶和華的仇敵、要像羊羔的脂油．他們要消滅、要如煙消滅。
But the wicked will perish;
And the enemies of the LORD will be like the glory of the
pastures, They vanish like smoke they vanish away.
37:21 惡人借貸而不償還．義人卻恩待人、並且施捨。
The wicked borrows and does
not pay back, But the righteous is gracious and gives.
37:22 蒙耶和華賜福的、必承受地土．被他咒詛的、必被剪除。
For those blessed by Him will inherit
the land, But those cursed by Him will be cut off.
37:23 義人的腳步、被耶和華立定．他的道路、耶和華也喜愛。
The steps of a man are established by
the LORD, And He delights in his way.
37:24 他雖失腳、也不至全身仆倒．因為耶和華用手攙扶他。
When he falls, he will not be hurled
headlong, Because the LORD is the One who holds his hand.
37:25
我從前年幼、現在年老、卻未見過義人被棄．也未見過他的後裔討飯。
I have been young and now I
am old, Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken Or his
descendants begging bread.
37:26 他終日恩待人、借給人．他的後裔也蒙福。
All day long he is gracious
and lends, And his descendants are a blessing.
37:27 你當離惡行善、就可永遠安居。
Depart from evil and do good, So you
will abide forever.
37:28 因為耶和華喜愛公平、不撇棄他的聖民．他們永蒙保佑．但惡人的後裔必被剪除。
For the LORD loves justice And does
not forsake His godly ones; They are preserved forever, But the
descendants of the wicked will be cut off.
37:29 義人必承受地土、永居其上。
The righteous will inherit the land
And dwell in it forever.
37:30
義人的口談論智慧、他的舌頭講說公平。
The mouth of the righteous
utters wisdom, And his tongue speaks justice.
37:31 神的律法在他心裡．他的腳總不滑跌。
The law of his God is in
his heart; His steps do not slip.
37:32 惡人窺探義人、想要殺他。
The wicked spies upon the
righteous And seeks to kill him.
37:33 耶和華必不撇他在惡人手中、當審判的時候、也不定他的罪。
The LORD will not leave him
in his hand Or let him be condemned when he is judged.
37:34
你當等候耶和華、遵守他的道、他就抬舉你、使你承受地土．惡人被剪除的時候、你必看見。
Wait for the LORD and keep
His way, And He will exalt you to inherit the land; When the
wicked are cut off, you will see it.
37:35 我見過惡人大有勢力、好像一根青翠樹在本土生發。
I have seen a wicked,
violent man Spreading himself like a luxuriant tree in its native
soil.
37:36
有人從那裡經過、不料、他沒有了．我也尋找他、卻尋不著。
Then he passed away, and
lo, he was no more; I sought for him, but he could not be found.
37:37 你要細察那完全人、觀看那正直人．因為和平人有好結局。
Mark the blameless man, and
behold the upright; For the man of peace will have a posterity.
37:38 至於犯法的人、必一同滅絕．惡人終必剪除。
But transgressors will be
altogether destroyed; The posterity of the wicked will be cut
off.
37:39 但義人得救、是由於耶和華．他在患難時作他們的營寨。
But the salvation of the righteous is
from the LORD; He is their strength in time of trouble.
37:40 耶和華幫助他們、解救他們．他解救他們脫離惡人、把他們救出來、因為他們投靠他。
The LORD helps them and delivers
them; He delivers them from the wicked and saves them, Because
they take refuge in Him.
