詩篇 36

1 上主的僕人達味作，交與樂官。 惡人從心裏就喜愛不義，他毫無敬愛天主的誠意。

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD. An oracle is in my heart regarding the transgression of the wicked man: There is no fear of God before his eyes.

2 他只是在自己的心裏自慰：無人發現他的罪，無人懲治。

For his eyes are too full of conceit to detect or hate his own sin.

3 他滿口盡是虛偽與詐欺，早已把智慧與善行拋棄。

The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise and well-doing.

4 他在床上籌畫作惡，立於邪道，不怕罪過。

Even on his bed he plots wickedness; he sets himself on a path that is not good; he fails to reject evil.

5 上主，你的慈愛高達青天，你的忠義上徹雲間。

Your loving devotion, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the clouds.

6 你的正義有如摩天的高山，你的公平有如無底的深淵；上主使人畜生命安全。

Your righteousness is like the highest mountains; Your judgments are like the deepest sea. O LORD, You preserve man and beast.

7 天主，你的慈愛多麼可貴可珍，人子們都向你的護翼下投奔。

How precious is Your loving devotion, O God, that the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings!

8 他們不但飽嘗你宮殿中的盛筵，你還賜他們暢飲你人怡人的溪川。

They feast on the abundance of Your house, and You give them drink from Your river of delights.

9 因為在你那裏有生命的泉源，藉的光明才能把光明看見。

For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light.

10 求你為恭你的人保留恩寵，並為心地正直的人保持公平。

Extend Your loving devotion to those who know You, and Your righteousness to the upright in heart.

11 求你不要高傲人的腳踐踏我，求你不要讓罪惡人的手騷擾我。

Let not the foot of the proud come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.

12 請看! 作惡的人己經一敗塗地，他們既已傾倒，無法重新興起。

There the evildoers lie fallen, thrown down and unable to rise.
