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.
I have a message from God in my heart
    concerning the sinfulness of the wicked:
There is no fear of God
    before their eyes.
In their own eyes they flatter themselves
    too much to detect or hate their sin.
The words of their mouths are wicked and deceitful;
    they fail to act wisely or do good.
Even on their beds they plot evil;
    they commit themselves to a sinful course
    and do not reject what is wrong.
Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens,
    your faithfulness to the skies.
Your righteousness is like the highest mountains,
    your justice like the great deep.
    You, Lord, preserve both people and animals.
How priceless is your unfailing love, O God!
    People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
They feast on the abundance of your house;
    you give them drink from your river of delights.
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!
