< 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。
To the chief music-maker. Of the servant of the Lord. Of David. The sin of the evil-doer says in his heart, There is no fear of the Lord 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 he takes comfort in the thought that his sin will not be uncovered and hated.
In the words of his mouth are evil and deceit; he has given up being wise and doing good.
He gives thought to evil on his bed; he takes a way which is not good; he is not a hater of evil.
Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens, and your strong purpose is as high as 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 mountains of God; your judging is like the great deep; O Lord, you give life to 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 good is your loving mercy, O God! the children of men take cover under the shade 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。
The delights of your house will be showered on them; you will give them drink from the river of your pleasures.
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 will 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。
O let there be no end to your loving mercy to those who have knowledge of you, or of 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 pride come against me, or the hand of the evil-doers put me out of my place.
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 workers of evil have come down: they have been made low, and will not be lifted up.
