Psalms 12
耶和华啊,求你帮助,因虔诚人断绝了; 世人中间的忠信人没有了。
yē hé huá a , qiú nǐ bāng zhù , yīn qián chéng rén duàn jué le ; shì rén zhōng jiān de zhōng xìn rén méi yǒu le 。
Help, LORD; for the godly man ceases. For the faithful fail from among the children of men.
人人向邻舍说谎; 他们说话,是嘴唇油滑,心口不一。
rén rén xiàng lín shè shuō huǎng ; tā men shuō huà , shì zuǐ chún yóu huá , xīn kǒu bù yī 。
Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.
凡油滑的嘴唇和夸大的舌头, 耶和华必要剪除。
fán yóu huá de zuǐ chún hé kuā dà de shé tou , yē hé huá bì yào jiǎn chú 。
May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts,
他们曾说:我们必能以舌头得胜; 我们的嘴唇是我们自己的, 谁能作我们的主呢?
tā men céng shuō : wǒ men bì néng yǐ shé tou dé shèng ; wǒ men de zuǐ chún shì wǒ men zì jǐ de , shuí néng zuò wǒ men de zhǔ ne ?
who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?”
耶和华说:因为困苦人的冤屈 和贫穷人的叹息, 我现在要起来, 把他安置在他所切慕的稳妥之地。
yē hé huá shuō : yīn wèi kùn kǔ rén de yuān qū hé pín qióng rén de tàn xī , wǒ xiàn zài yào qǐ lái , bǎ tā ān zhì zài tā suǒ qiè mù de wěn tuǒ zhī dì 。
“Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says the LORD; “I will set him in safety from those who malign him.”
耶和华的言语是纯净的言语, 如同银子在泥炉中炼过七次。
yē hé huá de yán yǔ shì chún jìng de yán yǔ , rú tóng yín zi zài ní lú zhōng liàn guò qī cì 。
The LORD’s words are flawless words, as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.
耶和华啊,你必保护他们; 你必保佑他们永远脱离这世代的人。
yē hé huá a , nǐ bì bǎo hù tā men ; nǐ bì bǎo yòu tā men yǒng yuǎn tuō lí zhè shì dài de rén 。
You will keep them, LORD. You will preserve them from this generation forever.
下流人在世人中升高, 就有恶人到处游行。
xià liú rén zài shì rén zhōng shēng gāo , jiù yǒu è rén dào chù yóu xíng 。
The wicked walk on every side, when what is vile is exalted among the sons of men.
