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!

To the chief Musician. Upon 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 crying, my king and my God; for to thee will 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。

Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; in the morning will I address myself to thee, and will look up.

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，

Insolent fools shall not stand before thine eyes; 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 a man of blood 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 as for me, in the greatness of thy loving-kindness will I enter thy house; I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness in thy fear.

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, Jehovah, in thy righteousness, because of my foes; make thy way plain 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 there is no certainty in their mouth; their inward part is perversion, 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。

Bring guilt upon them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels: drive 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!

And all that trust in thee shall rejoice: for ever shall they shout joyously, and thou wilt protect them; and they that love thy name shall exult 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, Jehovah, wilt bless the righteous [man]; with favour wilt thou surround him as [with] a shield.
