(以东人多益来告诉扫罗说,大卫到了亚希米勒家。那时,大卫作这训诲诗交与伶长)勇士们阿,你为何以作恶自夸。神的慈爱是常存的。
Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually.
你爱恶胜似爱善,又爱说谎,不爱说公义。(细拉)
Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.
我要称谢你,直到永远,因为你行了这事。我也要在你圣民面前仰望你的名。这名本为美好。
I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.
主耶和华如此说,起先我的百姓下到埃及,在那里寄居,又有亚述人无故欺压他们。
For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
耶和华说,我的百姓既是无价被掳去,如今我在这里作什么呢。耶和华说,辖制他们的人呼叫,我的名整天受亵渎
Now therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the LORD; and my name continually every day is blasphemed.
那报佳音,传平安,报好信,传救恩的,对锡安说,你的神作王了。这人的脚登山何等佳美。
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
听阿,你守望之人的声音。他们扬起声来,一同歌唱。因为耶和华归回锡安的时候,他们必亲眼看见。
Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion.
耶路撒冷的荒场阿,要发起欢声,一同歌唱。因为耶和华安慰了他的百姓。救赎了耶路撒冷。
Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
你们离开吧,离开吧,从巴比伦出来,不要沾不洁净的物。要从其中出来。你们扛抬耶和华器皿的人哪,务要自洁。
Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD.
你们出来必不至急忙,也不至奔逃。因为耶和华必在你们前头行。以色列的神必作你们的后盾。
For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rereward.
