God, show that they are guilty. Let their evil plans bring them down. Send them away because of their many sins. They have refused to obey you.

願上帝罪之、使自陷於詭謀、因其罪多而驅逐之、蓋彼叛逆爾兮、

違逆上帝、罪惡貫盈、上帝必降罰、使自罹詭謀、而取其戾。

願天主懲治其愆尤、使因己謀而傾敗、因其罪孽甚多、違背主、願主驅逐之、

敵人何狡猾。出言無誠實。邪惡塞肺腑。心毒口則蜜。咽喉如荒墳。下埋朽腐骨。

Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.

Make them bear their guilt, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; because of the abundance of their transgressions cast them out, for they have rebelled against you.

O God, declare them guilty. Let them be caught in their own traps. Drive them away because of their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.

Punish them, God; let them fall by their own schemes. Drive them out because of their many crimes, for they rebel against you.

Make them pay, God; Have them fall by their own schemes! Scatter them in the multitude of their wrongdoings, For they are rebellious against You.

Pronounce them guilty, O God! Let them fall by their own counsels; Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions, For they have rebelled against You.

Hold them guilty, O God; Let them fall by their own counsels; Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions; For they have rebelled against thee.

Hold them guilty, God. Let them fall by their own counsels. Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against you.

Absalom and all the men of Israel agreed. They said,“ The advice of Hushai, the Arkite, is better than the advice of Ahithophel.” The Lord had decided that Ahithophel’s good advice would fail. The Lord wanted to bring horrible trouble on Absalom.

Ahithophel saw that his advice wasn’t being followed. So he put a saddle on his donkey. He started out for his house in his hometown. When he arrived, he made everything ready for his death. He made out his will. Then he killed himself. And so he died and was buried in his father’s tomb.

David had been told,“ Ahithophel, along with Absalom, is one of the people making secret plans against you.” So David prayed,“ Lord, make Ahithophel’s advice look foolish.”

Appoint an evil person to take my enemies to court. Let him stand at their right hand and bring charges against them.When they are tried, let them be found guilty. May even their prayers judge them.May their days be few. Let others take their places as leaders.May their children’s fathers die. May their wives become widows.May their children be driven from their destroyed homes. May they wander around like beggars.May everything those people own be taken away to pay for what they owe. May strangers rob them of everything they’ve worked for.May no one be kind to them or take pity on the children they leave behind.May their family line come to an end. May their names be forgotten by those who live after them.May the Lord remember the evil things their fathers have done. May he never erase the sins of their mothers.May the Lord never forget their sins. Then he won’t let people remember the names of my enemies anymore.They never thought about doing anything kind. Instead, they drove those who were poor and needy to their deaths. They did the same thing to those whose hearts were broken.They loved to curse others. May their curses come back on them. They didn’t find any pleasure in giving anyone their blessing. May no blessing ever come to them.They cursed others as easily as they put on clothes. Cursing was as natural to them as getting a drink of water or putting olive oil on their bodies.May their curses cover them like coats. May their curses be wrapped around them like a belt forever.May that be the Lord’ s way of paying back those who bring charges against me. May it happen to those who say evil things about me.

The wisdom of this world is foolish in God’s eyes. It is written,“ God catches wise people in their own evil plans.”( Job 5:13)

But they refused to obey him. They made his Holy Spirit sad. So he turned against them and became their enemy. He himself fought against them.

Those who are all around me proudly raise their heads. May the trouble they planned for me happen to them.May burning coals fall on people like that. May they be thrown into the fire. May they be thrown into muddy pits and never get out.

Her enemies have become her masters. They have an easy life. The Lord has brought suffering to Jerusalem because her people have committed so many sins. Her children have been taken away as prisoners. Her enemies have forced her people to leave their homes.

The time when God will punish you is coming. The day when he will judge you is near. I want Israel to know this. You have committed many sins. And you hate me very much. That’s why you think the prophet is foolish. You think the person the Lord speaks through is crazy.

May those who bring charges against me die in shame. May those who want to harm me be covered with shame and dishonor.

Let all those who laugh at me because I’m in trouble be ashamed and bewildered. Let all who think they are better than I am put on shame and dishonor as if they were clothes.

May God rise up and scatter his enemies. May they turn and run away from him.May you, God, blow them away like smoke. As fire melts wax, so may God destroy sinful people.

Listen to me, you heavens! Pay attention to me, earth! The Lord has said,“ I raised children. I brought them up. But they have refused to obey me.

So they did. And they used the pole Haman had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s anger calmed down.

They have sinned with their mouths. Their lips have spoken evil words. They have cursed me and lied. Let them be caught in their pride.Burn them up in your anger. Burn them up until there isn’t anything left of them. Then everyone from one end of the earth to the other will know that God rules over the people of Jacob.

Someone may chase you and try to kill you. But the Lord your God will keep your life safe like a treasure hidden in a bag. And he’ll destroy your enemies. Their lives will be thrown away, just as a stone is thrown from a sling.

But Sihon, the king of Heshbon, refused to let us walk through. The Lord your God had made him stubborn in his heart and spirit. The Lord wanted to hand him over to you. And that’s exactly what he has done.

He stops the evil plans of those who are clever. The work of their hands doesn’t succeed.Some people think they are so wise. But God catches them in their own tricks. He sweeps away the evil plans of sinful people.Darkness covers them in the daytime. At noon they feel their way around as if it were night.

You, the king, will capture all your enemies. Your right hand will take hold of them.When you appear for battle, you will burn them up like they were in a flaming furnace. The Lord will swallow them up in his great anger. His fire will burn them up.You will wipe their children from the face of the earth. You will remove them from the human race.

We have sinned and done what is wrong. We have been evil. We have refused to obey you. We have turned away from your commands and laws.

While the prophet was still speaking, the king spoke to him. He said,“ Did I ask you for advice? Stop! If you don’t, you will be struck down.” So the prophet stopped. But then he said,“ I know that God has decided to destroy you. That’s because you have worshiped other gods. You haven’t listened to my advice.”

Send flashes of lightning and scatter my enemies. Shoot your arrows and chase them away.My enemies are like a mighty flood. Reach down from heaven and save me. Save me from outsiders who attack me.

They make plans to do what is evil. They say,“ We have thought up a perfect plan!” The hearts and minds of people are so clever!But God will shoot my enemies with his arrows. He will suddenly strike them down.He will turn their own words against them. He will destroy them. All those who see them will shake their heads and look down on them.

The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug. Their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.The Lord is known to be fair by the things he does. Evil people are trapped by what they have done.

Their lips tell lies. Let them be silenced. They speak with pride against those who do right. They make fun of them.

What the law says, it says to those who are ruled by the law. Its purpose is to shut every mouth and make the whole world accountable to God.So no one will be considered right with God by obeying the law. Instead, the law makes us more aware of our sin.

You are the Lord our God. You show us your tender love. You forgive us. But we have turned against you.

Do to them what you did to the people of Midian. Do to them what you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.Sisera and Jabin died near the town of Endor. Their bodies were left on the ground like human waste.Do to the nobles of your enemies what you did to Oreb and Zeeb. Do to all their princes what you did to Zebah and Zalmunna.They said,“ Let’s take over the grasslands that belong to God.”My God, make them like straw that the wind blows away. Make them like tumbleweed.Destroy them as fire burns up a forest. Destroy them as a flame sets mountains on fire.Chase them with your mighty winds. Terrify them with your storm.Lord, put them to shame so that they will seek you.May they always be filled with terror and shame. May they die in dishonor.May you, the Lord, let your enemies know who you are. You alone are the Most High God over the whole earth.

Take away the power of sinful people. Hold them accountable for the evil things they do. Uncover all the evil they have done.

Let their feast be a trap and a snare. Let my enemies get what’s coming to them.Let their eyes grow weak so they can’t see. Let their backs be bent forever.Pour out your anger on them. Let them feel what it is like.May their homes be deserted. May no one live in their tents.

God, you always do what is right. You look deep down inside the hearts and minds of people. Bring to an end the terrible things sinful people do. Make godly people safe.The Most High God is like a shield that keeps me safe. He saves those whose hearts are honest.God judges fairly. He shows his anger every day.If evil people don’t change their ways, God will sharpen his sword. He will get his bow ready to use.He has prepared his deadly weapons. He has made his flaming arrows ready.Whoever is full of evil plans trouble and ends up telling lies.Whoever digs a hole and shovels it out falls into the pit they have made.

Lord, stand up against those who stand up against me. Fight against those who fight against me.Pick up your shield and your armor. Rise up and help me.Get your spear and javelin ready to fight against those who are chasing me. Say to me,“ I will save you.”Let those who are trying to kill me be brought down in dishonor. Let those who plan to destroy me be turned back in terror.Let them be like straw blowing in the wind, while the angel of the Lord drives them away.Let their path be dark and slippery, while the angel of the Lord chases them.They set a trap for me without any reason. Without any reason they dug a pit to catch me.So let them be destroyed without warning. Let the trap they set for me catch them. Let them fall into the pit and be destroyed.

Let death take my enemies by surprise. Let them be buried alive, because their hearts and homes are full of evil.

David heard that Nabal was dead. So he said,“ Give praise to the Lord. Nabal was rude to me. But the Lord stood up for me. He has kept me from doing something wrong. He has paid Nabal back for the wrong things he did.” Then David sent a message to Abigail. He asked her to become his wife.

Don’t drag me away with sinners. Don’t drag me away with those who do evil. They speak in a friendly way to their neighbors. But their hearts are full of hate.Pay them back for their evil actions. Pay them back for what their hands have done. Give them exactly what they should get.

He rules by his power forever. His eyes watch the nations. Let no one who refuses to obey him rise up against him.

But if you are not willing to obey me, you will be killed by swords.” The Lord has spoken.

Lord, our neighbors have laughed at you. Pay them back seven times for what they have done.

Lord, rise up. Oppose them and bring them down. With your sword, save me from those evil people.

That’s because they hadn’t obeyed the commands of God. They had refused to follow the plans of the Most High God.

Lord, remember what the people of Edom did on the day Jerusalem fell.“ Tear it down!” they cried.“ Tear it down to the ground!”People of Babylon, you are sentenced to be destroyed. Happy is the person who pays you back according to what you have done to us.Happy is the person who grabs your babies and smashes them against the rocks.
