11:1 (大衛的詩,交與伶長。)我是投靠耶和華;你們怎麼對我說:你當像鳥飛往你的山去。
11:2 看哪,惡人彎弓,把箭搭在弦上,要在暗中射那心裡正直的人。
11:3 根基若毀壞,義人還能做甚麼呢?
11:4 耶和華在他的聖殿裡;耶和華的寶座在天上;他的慧眼察看世人。
11:5 耶和華試驗義人;惟有惡人和喜愛強暴的人,他心裡恨惡。
11:6 他要向惡人密布網羅;有烈火、硫磺、熱風,作他們杯中的分。
11:7 因為耶和華是公義的,他喜愛公義;正直人必得見他的面。

1 In
the Lord I take refuge.
How then can you say to me:
“Flee like a bird to your mountain.
2 For look, the wicked bend their bows;
they set their arrows against the strings
to shoot from the shadows
at the upright in heart.
3 When the foundations are being destroyed,
what can the righteous do?”
4 The Lord is in his holy temple;
the Lord
is on his heavenly throne.
He observes everyone on earth;
his eyes examine them.
5 The Lord
examines the righteous,
but the wicked, those who love violence,
he hates with a passion.
6 On the wicked he will rain
fiery coals and burning sulfur;
a scorching wind will be their lot.
7 For
the Lord is righteous,
he loves justice;
the upright will see his face.

惡人就是心中沒有上帝的人,這些人以為世界是屬於他們的,為所欲為,毫不尊重別人,尤其是對心中有上帝的義人,更是看不起,處心積慮想讓他們放棄對上帝信仰。
記得年輕的時候,曾經聽見一個故事說到:一位無神論者想打擊一位傳道人,在他上臺講到錢給他一張紙條,上面寫著「笨蛋」,想惱怒他,使他上臺講道出醜。然而這個傳到人,並沒有受到影響。反而上臺說:「通常有人寫信忘了署名,但是我收到一封忘了寫內容,只有署名的信,希望他以後記得把內容寫上!」台下一陣大笑之後,繼續他的講道!
的確,惡人本想羞辱人,卻自取其辱!所以,人要尊重別人,更要敬畏上帝,才是蒙上地喜愛的義人!
