以東人多益來告訴掃羅說:「大衛到了亞希米勒的家。」那時,大衛作這訓誨詩。交給聖詠團長。神的審判和恩惠
(撒上22.6-23)
勇士啊,你為何作惡自誇?
神的慈愛是常存的。 Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually.
2你这行诡诈的人哪, 你的舌头像快利的剃刀,图谋毁灭。Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3你爱恶胜似爱善, 又爱说谎,胜于爱说公义。(细拉)Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.
4诡诈的舌头啊, 你爱说一切毁灭的话!Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.
5神也要毁灭你,直到永远。 他要抓住你,从帐棚中拉你出来, 从活人之地将你拔除。(细拉)God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.
6义人要看见而惧怕, 并要笑他。The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:
7看哪,这就是那不以神为保障的人, 他只倚靠丰富的财物,在邪恶上坚立自己。Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.
8至于我,就像神殿中的青橄榄树, 我永永远远倚靠神的慈爱。But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
9我要称谢你,直到永远, 因为你做了这事。 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.
