「我何曾因敵人遭殃而歡喜，因他們遇禍而快樂？

“我若见恨我的遭报就欢喜，见他遭灾便高兴；

“我若见恨我的遇难就欢喜，见他遭灾就高兴；

“我若见恨我的遇难就欢喜，见他遭灾就高兴；

“我何曾因敌人遭殃而欢喜，因他们遇祸而快乐？

我若因恨我的人遭灾祸而欢喜，或因他遇患难而高兴；

我若見恨我的遭報就歡喜，見他遭災便高興；（

「我若見恨我的遇難就歡喜，見他遭災就高興；

「我若見恨我的遇難就歡喜，見他遭災就高興；

我若因恨我的人遭災禍而歡喜，或因他遇患難而高興；

『我若因恨我之人的敗亡而歡喜，因他的遭禍而高興；（

我若因憾我者被滅而欣喜、緣其遭禍而氣揚、

仇有禍、未嘗欣喜踴躍。

何曾因敵遇災而喜、何曾因其遭禍而踴躍、

“ If I have rejoiced at my enemy’s misfortune or gloated over the trouble that came to him—

“ I wasn’t happy when hard times came to my enemies. I didn’t enjoy seeing the trouble they had.

“ If I have rejoiced at the ruin of him who hated me, or exulted when evil overtook him

“ Have I ever rejoiced when disaster struck my enemies, or become excited when harm came their way?

Have I rejoiced over my enemy’s distress, or become excited when trouble came his way?

“ Have I rejoiced at the misfortune of my enemy, Or become excited when evil found him?

“ If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him who hated me, Or lifted myself up when evil found him

If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, Or lifted up myself when evil found him

Have I rejoiced over my enemy’s distress, or become excited when trouble came his way?

If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:

If I have rejoiced over the misfortune of my enemy or exulted because calamity found him–

“ If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him who hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him

仇敵跌倒，不要幸災樂禍；仇敵敗落，不要心裡歡喜。否則，耶和華看見會不悅，不再向仇敵發烈怒。

嘲笑窮人等於侮辱造物主，幸災樂禍的人必難逃懲罰。

別讓他們說：「哈哈，我們如願以償了！」別讓他們說：「我們除掉他了！」願幸災樂禍的人蒙羞受辱，自高自大的人無地自容！

他們生病時，我披上麻衣，謙卑地為他們禁食禱告，但上帝沒有垂聽。我為他們哀傷，視他們為朋友、弟兄；我低頭為他們哭泣，如同哀悼自己的母親。

他們因掃羅、他的兒子約拿單和耶和華的子民——以色列同胞陣亡而悲哀痛哭，禁食直到黃昏。

在洗革拉曾有人向我報信說掃羅死了，他以為是來報喜訊，我抓住他，把他殺了。那就是我給他的報酬。更何況你們這些惡徒在這個無辜人的家裡把他殺死在床上，我怎能不向你們討這血債，把你們從世上除掉？」

你的親族遭難之日，你不該幸災樂禍；猶大人被滅的日子，你不該興高采烈；他們遭難的日子，你不該口出狂言；

大衛王來到巴戶琳時，掃羅家族基拉的兒子示每出來對著大衛破口大罵，還朝大衛和他的臣僕扔石頭，無視大衛身邊的眾多部下和勇士。示每罵大衛：「滾吧！滾吧！你這個殺人兇手，你這個敗類！你殺掃羅的家人，奪其王位，耶和華報應了你，把江山交給了你兒子押沙龍。你這殺人兇手是自食惡果！」
