善與惡,詩篇 36 章的個人閱讀筆記

詩篇第 36 章做了一個善與惡的對比

我們學習如何行善的基本?

它就是不妄言、不存貪念。
堅持自己的應有份,並協助他人保有他們的應有份。
信靠主、將一切交託於主,保有謙卑,遠離誘惑。

1Transgression speaks to the ungodly within his heart;
         There is no fear of God before his eyes.
Transgression = to break a law of our Lord, the law of equity
2For it flatters him in his own eyes
         Concerning the discovery of his iniquity and the hatred of it.
3The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit;
         He has ceased to be wise and to do good.
4He plans wickedness upon his bed;
He is driven by greediness, planning for unduly gain even in his bed side.
         He sets himself on a path that is not good;
         He does not despise evil.
惡人:妄言、貪念
5Your lovingkindness, O LORD, extends to the heavens,
         Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
God covers all. 上帝是眾人的主,只是惡人不認主。
6Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;
         Your judgments are like a great deep.
         O LORD, You preserve man and beast.
7How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!
         And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
8They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house;
         And You give them to drink of the river of Your delights.
River flows continuously.
9For with You is the fountain of life;
         In Your light we see light.
10O continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You,
         And Your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11Let not the foot of pride come upon me,
         And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
讓我保有謙卑,遠離誘惑。
12There the doers of iniquity have fallen;
         They have been thrust down and cannot rise.



人的言行準則: 

35:28And my tongue shall declare Your righteousness
         And Your praise all day long.
隨時讚揚上帝的義,相信上帝,堅持公平。
37:30The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom,
         And his tongue speaks justice.
智慧,就是神造萬物的道理。上帝精巧的設計,萬物個按其類,各持其份。
40:3 He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God;
         Many will see and fear
         And will trust in the LORD.
讓我的口舌全心的歌頌,讚美主,不要流於無謂的口舌爭議。
