詩篇36:1-12

36:1 （耶和華的僕人大衛的詩，交與伶長。）惡人的罪過在他心裡說：我眼中不怕上帝！
36:2 他自誇自媚，以為他的罪孽終不顯露，不被恨惡。
36:3 他口中的言語盡是罪孽詭詐；他與智慧善行已經斷絕。
36:4 他在床上圖謀罪孽，定意行不善的道，不憎惡惡事。
36:5 耶和華啊，你的慈愛上及諸天；你的信實達到穹蒼。
36:6 你的公義好像高山；你的判斷如同深淵。耶和華啊，人民、牲畜，你都救護。
36:7 上帝啊，你的慈愛何其寶貴！世人投靠在你翅膀的蔭下。
36:8 他們必因你殿裡的肥甘得以飽足；你也必叫他們喝你樂河的水。
36:9 因為，在你那裡有生命的源頭；在你的光中，我們必得見光。
36:10 願你常施慈愛給認識你的人，常以公義待心裡正直的人。
36:11 不容驕傲人的腳踐踏我；不容凶惡人的手趕逐我。
36:12 在那裡，作孽的人已經仆倒；他們被推倒，不能再起來。

For the director of music. Of David the servant of the Lord.

¹ I have a message from God in my heart
    concerning the sinfulness of the wicked:
There is no fear of God
    before their eyes.

² In their own eyes they flatter themselves
    too much to detect or hate their sin.
³ The words of their mouths are wicked and deceitful;
    they fail to act wisely or do good.
⁴ Even on their beds they plot evil;
    they commit themselves to a sinful course
    and do not reject what is wrong.

⁵ Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens,
    your faithfulness to the skies.
⁶ Your righteousness is like the highest mountains,
    your justice like the great deep.
    You, Lord, preserve both people and animals.
⁷ How priceless is your unfailing love, O God!
    People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
⁸ They feast on the abundance of your house;
    you give them drink from your river of delights.
⁹ For with you is the fountain of life;
    in your light we see light.

¹⁰ Continue your love to those who know you,
    your righteousness to the upright in heart.
¹¹ May the foot of the proud not come against me,
    nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
¹² See how the evildoers lie fallen—
    thrown down, not able to rise!

    惡人之所以做惡，是因為不認識上帝，以自我為中心，更是以搶奪別人為樂事。以至於他們與上帝隔絕，不能得著上帝的賜福。也因為如此，他們的結局是滅亡！

    當然惡人想盡辦法攻擊與搶奪別人，運用小聰明，似乎攻無不克！義人沒有惡人的作為，表面上是弱者，其實是真正的強者。因為他們有上帝為依靠和保護，從來沒有任何勢力可以超越上帝，惡人更是為上帝所抵擋，最後勝利是屬上帝和他的子民。

    因此，我們從詩人的話語中明白，有上帝的同在，就不怕一切的惡勢力！因為其他的勢力都無法與上帝抵擋，只有上帝才是真實可靠，甚至比自己更可靠，而且是永遠可靠的！
