Psalms

（大衛的詩，交與伶長。調用第八。）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。

[To the chief Musician upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.] Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. {upon...: or, upon the eighth} {Help: or, Save}

人人向鄰舍說謊；他們說話，是嘴唇油滑，心口不一。

They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: {with} flattering lips {and} with a double heart do they speak. {a double...: Heb. an heart and an heart}

凡油滑的嘴唇和誇大的舌頭，耶和華必要剪除。

The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, {and} the tongue that speaketh proud things: {proud: Heb. great}

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？

Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips {are} our own: who {is} lord over us? {are...: Heb. are with us}

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。

For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set {him} in safety {from him that} puffeth at him. {puffeth...: or, would ensnare him}

耶和華的言語是純淨的言語，如同銀子在泥爐中煉過七次。

The words of the LORD {are} pure words: {as} silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

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。

Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. {them from: Heb. him, etc: that is, every one of them, etc}

下流人在世人中升高，就有惡人到處遊行。

The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted. {men: Heb. of the sons of the men}
