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。

Unto the end, for the servant of God, David himself. The unjust hath said within himself, that he would sin: 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 in his sight he hath done deceitfully, that his iniquity may be found unto hatred.

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 iniquity and guile: he would not understand that he might do well.

4 他在床上籌畫作惡，立於邪道，不怕罪過。

He hath devised iniquity on his bed, he hath set himself on every way that is not good: but evil he hath not hated.

5 上主，你的慈愛高達青天，你的忠義上徹雲間。

O Lord, thy mercy is in heaven, and thy truth reacheth, even 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。

Thy justice is as the mountains of God, thy judgments are a great deep. Men and beasts thou wilt preserve, O Lord:

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。

O how hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! But the children of men shall put their trust under the covert of thy 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 shall be inebriated with the plenty of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the torrent of thy pleasure.

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 thee is the fountain of life; and in thy light we shall 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 thy mercy to them that know thee, and thy justice to them that are right 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 to me, and let not the hand of the sinner move me.

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 iniquity are fallen, they are cast out, and could not stand.
