『我若因恨我之人的敗亡而歡喜，因他的遭禍而高興；（

“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；

「我何曾因敵人遭殃而歡喜，因他們遇禍而快樂？

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

你的仇敵仆倒時，你不要歡喜；他跌倒時，你的心不要快樂；恐怕永恆主看了就不喜悅，而將他的怒氣從你仇敵身上轉過來給你。

嗤笑窮乏的、是辱沒了造他的主；幸災樂禍的必難免於受罰。

別讓他們心裏說：『呵哈！正遂我們的心願！』別讓他們說：『我們把他吞下了！』願那喜歡我遭難的、一概失望狼狽；願那向我妄自尊大的、披上失望和羞辱。

至於我呢、我在他們有病時、卻穿着麻衣，以禁食刻苦自己。我所祈禱的都回到自己懷中。我出入往來、待他像朋友弟兄；我悲哀屈身、如同哀悼母親。

為了掃羅和掃羅的兒子約拿單、並為了永恆主的眾民、以色列家的人、就號咷哀哭，禁食到晚上，因為這許多人都倒斃於刀下。

從前有人向我報信說：「看哪，掃羅死了」，自以為他是個傳好消息的；我就抓住他，將他殺在洗革拉；這就是我給他做傳消息的報償。何況惡人在義人家裏將他殺在床上，我現在哪有不從你們手裏討流他血的罪，而將你們從地上肅清呢？』

當你兄弟的日子、他遭遇禍患之日，你不應該瞪着眼看着呀。當猶大人被滅的日子，你不應該因着他們而沾沾自喜呀；當災難的日子、你不應該誇口說大話呀。

大衛王來到巴戶琳，忽見有一個人從那裏出來，是屬掃羅家的族系，名叫示每，是基拉的兒子：他一面走，一面咒罵；又拿石頭打大衛和大衛王所有的臣僕：眾民和眾勇士都在王左右。示每咒罵的時候是這樣說的：他說：『你這流人血的人哪，你這無賴子啊，出走吧，出走吧！你流掃羅全家的血，接替他作王：永恆主把這罪歸在你身上，將王權交給你兒子押沙龍；看哪，你已在你自己的惡作劇中了，因為你是流人血的人。』
