詩篇 5

1 【虔誠的早禱】 達味詩歌，交與樂官，和以管樂。 上主，求你傾聽我的語言，上主，求你細聽我的悲歎!

For the Chief Musician; with the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O Jehovah, Consider my (meditation)

2 我的君王，我的天主，請聽我祈禱的聲音！上主，我在向你哀懇，

Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; For unto thee do I pray.

3 你一早便俯聽了我的呼聲；我清晨向你傾訴我的禱文，滿懷希望地靜候你的應允。

O Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; In the morning will I order [my prayer] unto thee, and will keep watch.

4 你絕不是喜愛罪惡的天主，惡人決不能在你面前存留，

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: Evil shall not sojourn with thee.

5 傲慢人也不能在你前站立。對作惡的人你也深惡厭棄，

The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

6 說謊不實的人，你全予以消除；奸詐好殺的人，上主一律厭惡。

Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.

7 我得進入你的殿宇，專賴你豐厚的慈愛，滿懷敬愛你的心，向你的聖所肅然跪拜。

But as for me, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house: In thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

8 上主，為了我的仇雔敵人，求你常以正向導我遵循，在我面前鋪平你的路程。

Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; Make thy way straight before my face.

9 因為他們的口中毫無真誠，他們的內心全是虛偽滿盈；他們的咽喉是敞開的墳塋，他們的舌頭只顧美語逄迎。

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; Their inward part is very wickedness; Their throat is an open sepulchre; They flatter with their tongue.

10 天主，願你懲罰他們，使他們的詭計落空！為他們的罪過，請驅逐他們，因為他們直接對你叛逆不忠。

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.

11 但願投奔你的人，興高彩烈，永遠歡愉；願愛慕你名的人，歡樂於你，蒙你護祐!

But let all those that take refuge in thee rejoice, Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: Let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

12 上主，你原來只向義人祝福。你的仁愛如盾牌，把他掩護。

For thou wilt bless the righteous; O Jehovah, thou wilt compass him with favor as with a shield.
