< 詩篇 25 >
Of David. To you, O Lord, my soul is lifted up.
2 我的天主,我全心要倚靠你。求你不要使我蒙受羞恥,不要容許我的仇人歡喜。
O my God, I have put my faith in you, let me not be shamed; let not my haters be glorying over me.
3 凡期望你的人絕不會蒙羞,唯冒昧失信人才會受辱。
Let no servant of yours be put to shame; may those be shamed who are false without cause.
4 上主,求你使我認識你的法度,並求你教訓我履行你的道路。
Make your steps clear to me, O Lord; give me knowledge of your ways.
5 還求你教訓我;引我進入真理之路,我終日仰望你,因你是救我的天主。
Be my guide and teacher in the true way; for you are the God of my salvation; I am waiting for your word all the day.
6 上主,求你憶及的仁慈和恩愛,因為它們由亙古以來就常存在。
O Lord, keep in mind your pity and your mercies; for they have been from the earliest times.
7 我青春的罪愆和過犯,求你要追念;上主,求你紀念我,照你的仁慈和良善。
Do not keep in mind my sins when I was young, or my wrongdoing: let your memory of me be full of mercy, O Lord, because of your righteousness.
Good and upright is the Lord: so he will be the teacher of sinners in the way.
He will be an upright guide to the poor in spirit: he will make his way clear to them.
10 對待持守上主的盟約和誡命的人,上主的一切行徑常是慈愛和忠誠。
All the ways of the Lord are mercy and good faith for those who keep his agreement and his witness.
11 上主,為了你聖名的緣故,求你赦免我重大的愆尤。
Because of your name, O Lord, let me have forgiveness for my sin, which is very great.
12 不論是誰,只要他敬愛上主,上主必指示他應選的道路,
If a man has the fear of the Lord, the Lord will be his teacher in the way of his pleasure.
13 他的心靈必要安享幸福,他的後裔必能承繼領土。
His soul will be full of good things, and his seed will have the earth for its heritage.
14 上主親近敬愛自己的人民,也使他們認識自己的誓盟。
The secret of the Lord is with those in whose hearts is the fear of him; he will make his agreement clear to them.
15 我的眼睛不斷地向上主瞻仰,因為祂使我的雙腳脫離羅網。
My eyes are turned to the Lord at all times; for he will take my feet out of the net.
Be turned to me, and have mercy on me; for I am troubled and have no helper.
The troubles of my heart are increased: O take me out of my sorrows.
Give thought to my grief and my pain; and take away all my sins.
19 請看我的仇敵如何眾多,他們都兇狠地痛恨著我。
See how those who are against me are increased, for bitter is their hate of me.
20 求你保謢我的生命,向我施救,別叫我因投奔你而蒙受羞辱。
O keep my soul, and take me out of danger: let me not be shamed, for I have put my faith in you.
For my clean and upright ways keep me safe, because my hope is in you.
Give Israel salvation, O God, out of all his troubles.
