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 music director. A psalm of David, to be accompanied by flutes. Lord, please listen to me. Don't ignore my groans of distress.

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，

Hear me pleading for help, my King and my God, because I'm praying to you.

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。

Please listen to what I have to say in the morning, Lord. Every morning I put my requests to you and wait for your reply.

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 has any pleasure in wickedness; evil has no place 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 proud cannot come into your presence; you hate everyone who does evil.

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 loathes bloodthirsty and deceptive people.

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 because of the greatness of your trustworthy love, I can come into your house; in awe of you I bow down towards 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, Lord, you who always does what is right, save me from my enemies. Make your way clear to 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。

Nothing they say can be trusted; their main desire is to destroy. Their throat is like an open grave; their tongues are full of flattery.

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。

God, condemn them as guilty! Make them fall because of their evil plans. Throw them out because of all their sins, 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 may all those who trust in you be happy—may they sing for joy forever. May you spread your protection over them so that everyone who loves your character may celebrate.

12 上主，你原來只向義人祝福。你的仁愛如盾牌，把他掩護。

For you, Lord, bless those who live right; you protect them with your shield of love.
