| | 1 | 〔以東人多益來告訴掃羅說、大衛到了亞希米勒家．那時、大衛作這訓誨詩、交與伶長。〕勇士阿、你為何以作惡自誇． 神的慈愛是常存的。
For the director of music. A maskil of David. When Doeg the Edomite had gone to Saul and told him: "David has gone to the house of Ahimelech." Why do you boast of evil, you mighty man? Why do you boast all day long, you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God? | |
| | 2 | 你的舌頭邪惡詭詐、好像剃頭刀、快利傷人。
Your tongue plots destruction; it is like a sharpened razor, you who practice deceit. | |
| | 3 | 你愛惡勝似愛善、又愛說謊、不愛說公義。〔細拉〕
You love evil rather than good, falsehood rather than speaking the truth. Selah | |
| | 4 | 詭詐的舌頭阿、你愛說一切毀滅的話。
You love every harmful word, O you deceitful tongue! | |
| | 5 | 神也要毀滅你、直到永遠．他要把你拿去、從你的帳棚中抽出、從活人之地將你拔出。〔細拉〕
Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin: He will snatch you up and tear you from your tent; he will uproot you from the land of the living. Selah | |
| | 6 | 義人要看見而懼怕、並要笑他、
The righteous will see and fear; they will laugh at him, saying, | |
| | 7 | 說、看哪、這就是那不以 神為他力量的人．只倚仗他豐富的財物、在邪惡上堅立自己。
"Here now is the man who did not make God his stronghold but trusted in his great wealth and grew strong by destroying others!" | |
| | 8 | 至於我、就像 神殿中的青橄欖樹．我永永遠遠倚靠 神的慈愛。
But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God's unfailing love for ever and ever. | |
| | 9 | 我要稱謝你、直到永遠、因為你行了這事．我也要在你聖民面前仰望你的名．這名本為美好。
I will praise you forever for what you have done; in your name I will hope, for your name is good. I will praise you in the presence of your saints. | |
