1大衛的詩。我要歌唱慈愛和公正;耶和華啊!我要向你歌頌。(本節在《馬索拉抄本》包括細字標題)
1I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To you, Yahweh, I will sing praises.
2我要小心謹慎行正直的路;你甚麼時候才到我這裡來呢?我要在我的家中,以正直的心行事。
2I will be careful to live a blameless life. When will you come to me? I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.
3邪惡的事,我都不擺在眼前;離開正路的人所作的事,我都恨惡,決不容這些沾染我。
3I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.
4狡詐的心思,我要遠離;邪惡的事,我不參與。
4A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to do with evil.
5暗中誹謗鄰舍的,我必把他滅絕;眼目高傲,心裡驕橫的,我必不容忍他。
5I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won’t tolerate one who is haughty and conceited.
6我的眼目必看顧國中的誠實人,使他們與我同住;行為正直的,必要侍候我。
6My eyes will be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he will serve me.
7行詭詐的,必不得住在我的家裡;說謊話的,必不能在我眼前堅立。
7He who practices deceit won’t dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won’t be established before my eyes.
8我每日早晨必滅絕國中所有的惡人,好把所有作孽的人都從耶和華的城裡剪除。
8Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land; to cut off all the workers of iniquity from Yahweh’s city.
