就任凭仇敌追赶我,直到追上。将我的性命踏在地下,使我的荣耀归于灰尘。(细拉)
Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.
愿众民的会环绕你。愿你从其上归于高位。
So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
神是我的盾牌。他拯救心里正直的人。
My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
我儿,你要遵守我的言语,将我的命令存记在心。
My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.
我曾在我房屋的窗户内,从我窗棂之间,往外观看。
For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,
从街上经过,走近淫妇的巷口,直往通他家的路去,
Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,
我以经用绣花毯子,和埃及线织的花纹布,铺了我的床。
I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.
因为被他伤害仆倒的不少。被他杀戳的而且甚多。
For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.
勒索使智慧人变为愚妄。贿赂能败坏人的慧心。
Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart.
事情的终局,强如事情的起头。存心忍耐的,胜过居心骄傲的。
Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
