O my soul, do not come into their council, do not be united to their assembly, my heart, for in their anger they have killed men, and for pleasure they have hamstrung oxen.

我的灵啊，不要与他们同谋；我的心哪，不要与他们联络；因为他们趁怒杀害人命，任意砍断牛腿大筋。

愿我的心不与他们同谋，愿我的灵不与他们合伙；因为他们在烈怒中杀人，任意割断牛腿的筋。

愿我的心不与他们同谋，愿我的灵不与他们合伙；因为他们在烈怒中杀人，任意割断牛腿的筋。

我的灵啊，不要与他们同谋。我的心啊，不要与他们联合。他们泄愤杀人，随意砍断牛腿的筋。

我的灵啊，不可加入他们的阴谋；我的心啊，不可参与他们的集会，因为他们在怒中杀人，任意砍断牛的腿筋。

愿我的灵不进入他们的密会，愿我的荣耀不参加他们的聚集；因为他们在怒气中杀人，又任意挑断牛腿筋。

我的靈啊，不要與他們同謀；我的心哪，不要與他們聯絡；因為他們趁怒殺害人命，任意砍斷牛腿大筋。

我的靈啊，不可加入他們的陰謀；我的心啊，不可參與他們的集會，因為他們在怒中殺人，任意砍斷牛的腿筋。

我的心哪，不要進入他們的議會；我的肝腸啊，不要參加他們的集團；因為他們氣忿忿地殺人，任意砍斷牛腿大筋；

願我的靈不進入他們的密會，願我的榮耀不參加他們的聚集；因為他們在怒氣中殺人，又任意挑斷牛腿筋。

我心不與同謀、我神不與共會、蓋其乘怒而戕人命、縱欲而斷牛筋、

我心不願與同謀、我意不願與共會、其乘怒而殺人、其縱欲而圮垣。

我心不願與之同謀、我靈不欲與之共會、因其乘怒殺戮人、縱欲殘害牛、

Let me not enter their council, let me not join their assembly, for they have killed men in their anger and hamstrung oxen as they pleased.

I won’t share in their plans. I won’t have anything to do with them. They became angry and killed people. They cut the legs of oxen just for the fun of it.

Let my soul come not into their council; O my glory, be not joined to their company. For in their anger they killed men, and in their willfulness they hamstrung oxen.

May I never join in their meetings; may I never be a party to their plans. For in their anger they murdered men, and they crippled oxen just for sport.

May I never enter their council; may I never join their assembly. For in their anger they kill men, and on a whim they hamstring oxen.

May my soul not enter into their council; May my glory not be united with their assembly; For in their anger they killed men, And in their self will they lamed oxen.

Let not my soul enter their council; Let not my honor be united to their assembly; For in their anger they slew a man, And in their self-will they hamstrung an ox.

O my soul, come not thou into their council; Unto their assembly, my glory, be not thou united; For in their anger they slew a man, And in their self- will they hocked an ox.

May I never enter their council; may I never join their assembly. For in their anger they kill men, and on a whim they hamstring oxen.

O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall.

My soul, don’t come into their council. My glory, don’t be united to their assembly; for in their anger they killed men. In their self- will they hamstrung cattle.

Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi,“ You have brought ruin on me by making me a foul odor among the inhabitants of the land– among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number; they will join forces against me and attack me, and both I and my family will be destroyed!”

Do not sweep me away with sinners, or execute me along with violent people,

So my heart rejoices and I am happy; My life is safe.

Hide me from the plots of evil men, from the crowd of evildoers.

Awake, my soul! Awake, O stringed instrument and harp! I will wake up at dawn!

The plans of the righteous are just; the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.

Why are you depressed, O my soul? Why are you upset? Wait for God! For I will again give thanks to my God for his saving intervention.

Do not become partners with those who do not believe, for what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship does light have with darkness?

Why are you depressed, O my soul? Why are you upset? Wait for God! For I will again give thanks to my God for his saving intervention.

Why are you depressed, O my soul? Why are you upset? Wait for God! For I will again give thanks to my God for his saving intervention.

The Kishon River carried them off; the river confronted them– the Kishon River. Step on the necks of the strong!

I did not spend my time in the company of other people, laughing and having a good time. I stayed to myself because I felt obligated to you and because I was filled with anger at what they had done.

‘ Cursed is the one who kills his neighbor in private.’ Then all the people will say,‘ Amen!’

And I will say to myself,“ You have plenty of goods stored up for many years; relax, eat, drink, celebrate!”’

I do not associate with deceitful men, or consort with those who are dishonest.I hate the mob of evil men, and do not associate with the wicked.

So now my heart will sing to you and not be silent; O LORD my God, I will always give thanks to you.

How blessed is the one who does not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand in the pathway with sinners, or sit in the assembly of scoffers!

Cruel rulers are not your allies, those who make oppressive laws.They conspire against the blameless, and condemn to death the innocent.

Praise the LORD, O my soul! With all that is within me, praise his holy name!

I said,“ Oh, the feeling in the pit of my stomach! I writhe in anguish. Oh, the pain in my heart! My heart pounds within me. I cannot keep silent. For I hear the sound of the trumpet; the sound of the battle cry pierces my soul!

Condemn them, O God! May their own schemes be their downfall! Drive them away because of their many acts of insurrection, for they have rebelled against you.

In three days, when they were still in pain, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword and went to the unsuspecting city and slaughtered every male.They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with the sword, took Dinah from Shechem’s house, and left.

If they say,“ Come with us! We will lie in wait to shed blood; we will ambush an innocent person capriciously.

If only you would kill the wicked, O God! Get away from me, you violent men!

My child, do not go down their way, withhold yourself from their path;for they are eager to inflict harm, and they hasten to shed blood.

Do not drag me away with evil men, with those who behave wickedly, who talk so friendly to their neighbors, while they plan to harm them!
