37:1 (大卫的诗)不要为作恶的,心怀不平,也不要向那行不义的,生出嫉妒。

Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

37:2 因为他们如草快被割下,又如青菜快要枯乾。

For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

37:3 你当倚靠耶和华而行善。住在地上,以他的信实为粮。

Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

37:4 又要以耶和华为乐。他就将你心里所求的赐给你。

Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

37:5 当将你的事交托耶和华,并倚靠他,他就必成全。

Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

37:6 他要使你的公义,如光发出,使你的公平,明如正午。

And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

37:7 你当默然倚靠耶和华,耐性等候他。不要因那道路通达的,和那恶谋成就的,心怀不平。

Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

37:8 当止住怒气,离弃忿怒。不要心怀不平,以致作恶。

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

37:9 因为作恶的,必被剪除。惟有等候耶和华的,必承受地土。

For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

37:10 还有片时,恶人要归于无有。你就细察他的住处,也要归于无有。

For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

37:11 但谦卑人必承受地土,以丰盛的平安为乐。

But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

37:12 恶人设谋害义人,又向他咬牙。

The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.

37:13 主要笑他,因见他受罚的日子将要来到。

The LORD shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.

37:14 恶人已经弓上弦,刀出鞘,要打倒困苦穷乏的人,要杀害行动正直的人。

The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.

37:15 他们的刀,必刺入自己的心,他们的弓,必被折断。

Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.

37:16 一个义人所有的虽少,强过许多恶人的富馀。

A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.

37:17 因为恶人的膀臂,必被折断。但耶和华是扶持义人。

For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.

37:18 耶和华知道完全人的日子。他们的产业,要存到永远。

The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.

37:19 他们在急难的时候,不至羞愧,在饥荒的日子,必得饱足。

They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

37:20 恶人却要灭亡。耶和华的仇敌,要像羊羔的脂油。(或作像草地的华美)他们要消灭,要如烟消灭。

But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.

37:21 恶人借货而不偿还。义人却恩待人,并且施舍。

The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.

37:22 蒙耶和华赐福的,必承受地土。被他咒诅的,必被剪除。

For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.

37:23 义人的脚步,被耶和华立定。他的道路,耶和华也喜爱。

The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.

37:24 他虽失脚,也不至全身仆倒。因为耶和华用手搀扶他。(或作搀扶他的手)

Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.

37:25 我从前年幼,现在年老,却未见过义人被弃。也未见过他的后裔讨饭。

I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

37:26 他终日恩待人,借给人。他的后裔也蒙福。

He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.

37:27 你当离恶行善,就可永远安居。

Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

37:28 因为耶和华喜爱公平,不撇弃他的圣民。他们永蒙保佑。但恶人的后裔,必被剪除。

For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

37:29 义人必承受地土,永居其上。

The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.

37:30 义人的口谈论智慧,他的舌头讲说公平。

The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.

37:31 神的律法在他心里。他的脚总不滑跌。

The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.

37:32 恶人窥探义人,想要杀他。

The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.

37:33 耶和华必不撇他在恶人手中,当审判的时候,也不定他的罪。

The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

37:34 你当等候耶和华,遵守他的道,他就抬举你,使你承受地土。恶人被剪除的时候,你必看见。

Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

37:35 我见过恶人大有势力,好像一根青翠树在本土生发。

I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

37:36 有人从那里经过,不料,他没有了。我也寻梢他,却寻不着。

Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

37:37 你要细察那完全人,观看那正直人。因为和平人有好结局。

Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.

37:38 至于犯法的人,必一同灭绝。恶人终必剪除。

But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.

37:39 但义人得救,是由于耶和华。他在患难时作他们的营寨。

But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.

37:40 耶和华帮助他们,解救他们。他解救他们脱离恶人,把他们救出来,因为他们投靠他。

And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

诗篇37参考

诗人如此说,但行恶行不义的人总是大行其道嘛……我应如何看待他们?
37:1 我们不应羡慕恶人。他们有些人虽然出奇地有名或有钱,但不管他们拥有多少,他们终将像草一样枯萎和死去。跟随神的人的生活与恶人的生活不同,他们在天上有更大的财富。如果幸运的话,不信者的财富可能会终身伴随他,但也只能持续这一生而已。

以耶和华我神为乐!但──如何去做呢?
37:4-5 大卫号召我们以主为乐,并将我们所拥有的和所做的(我们的“道路”)交托给主。但我们如何去做呢?以某人为乐,意味著跟他在一起时所经历的极大乐趣和欢乐。这样的事情只有跟很熟的人在一起时才会有。这样的话,要“以主为乐”我们就必须更好地认识主。了解了神对我们的慈爱,我们就会感到欢欣。把自己交托给神意味著把我们生活的一切,包括家庭、工作和财产交给神来掌管和引导。将自己交付给主意味著要相信,主(37:5)比我们更能照顾我们自己。我们应该愿意耐心等待(37:7)主给我们带来的最大利益。

在不平时也要等候神?但我心实在著急不已……
37:8-9 生气和焦虑(不平)是两种非常有害的感情。这显露出我们不太相信神爱我们,和他在掌权。我们不该著急,应相信神,将自己交托给主,让主保护我们。当你困难重重的时候,就会变得焦虑和易生气。但如果你盯住神和神的良善,你就会找到平安。看看你注意的焦点在哪儿呢?

谦卑,好像意味著样样事都要退让,也会失掉好处;其实……
37:11 谦卑看起来很难成为一件对付敌人的像样儿武器。神的争战是以安静的信心,在神面前谦卑,对神的拯救充满希望来进行的。耶稣也应许了对那些谦卑人的奖励(参太5:5)。

恶人义人的分别,你不会不知吧;你是……
37:21 你可以根据人用钱的方式,说出这个人许多特点来。恶人以假装借贷来偷盗,义人则慷慨资助有需要的人。恶人只顾自己,义人却顾及和关注别人的利益。

每一步都行在神的旨意里?可以吗?可以吧,可以的!
37:23-24 神所喜悦的人是跟随他的人,是相信神和努力遵行神的旨意的人。这样的人每迈一步神都看顾和保守。你若要神来引导你的路,那就在你迈步之前寻求神的旨意。

义人的后裔不会被弃,也不会挨饿;大卫何以说得如此坚定?谁会供应他们?是我吗?是你吗?
37:25 今天仍有儿童像大卫的时代一样在挨饿。大卫的这些话对此有何意义?大卫看的是神在他一生中的供应。虽有不幸的例外,但神还是供应自己的百姓。义人的子女不会挨饿,其他的信徒会帮助他们渡过难关。在大卫的时代,以色列顺服神的律法,贫穷人得到了公正和怜悯的对待。只要以色列顺服神,每个人就丰衣足食。当以色列忘记神的时候,富人就只顾自己,贫穷人便要受苦(参摩2:6-7)。今天我们看见一位基督徒弟兄或姊妹受苦的时候,可以有三种回应方式:(1)我们可以像约伯的朋友那样,说他是自找麻烦;(2)我们也可以说这乃是帮助他提高信心和耐心的试炼;(3)我们可以在他的需要上帮助他。大卫准许的是最后一个选择。纵然今天的许多政府都有自己的扶贫计划,但这并不影响我们力所能及地帮助别人。

碰见难题,就想解决;至于等待神,这……
37:34 你若想马上有变化,就很难等候神的行动。但神应许我们说,如果我们顺从神的时间表,他就奖励我们。彼得说:“所以你们要自卑,服在神大能的手下,到了时候,他必叫你们升高”(彼前5:6)。要耐心持久地做神交给你的工作,让神来选择改变你的景况的最佳时机。
