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 choirmaster, to be accompanied by flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my groaning.

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，

Attend to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to You 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。

In the morning, O LORD, You hear my voice; at daybreak I lay my plea before You and wait in expectation.

4 你絕不是喜愛罪惡的天主，惡人決不能在你面前存留，

For You are not a God who delights in wickedness; no evil can dwell with You.

5 傲慢人也不能在你前站立。對作惡的人你也深惡厭棄，

The boastful cannot stand in Your presence; You hate 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。

You destroy those who tell lies; the LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.

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 I will enter Your house by the abundance of Your loving devotion; in reverence I will bow down toward Your 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 LORD, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; make straight Your way before me.

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 not a word they speak can be trusted; destruction lies within them. Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.

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。

Declare them guilty, O God; let them fall by their own devices. Drive them out for their many transgressions, for they have rebelled against You.

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 who take refuge in You rejoice; let them ever shout for joy. May You shelter them, that those who love Your name may rejoice in You.

12 上主，你原來只向義人祝福。你的仁愛如盾牌，把他掩護。

For surely You, O LORD, bless the righteous; You surround them with the shield of Your favor.
