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 Nechiloth, a psalm of David.” To my words give ear, O Lord, have regard to my mediation.

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，

Listen unto the voice of my loud cry, my King, and my God, when unto thee 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 Lord! in the morning do thou hear my voice: in the morning will I set in order [my prayer] before thee, and 1ook up with hope.

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 cannot abide 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 cannot stand up before thy eyes: thou hatest all workers of wickedness.

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 those that speak lies: the man of blood and deceit the Lord abhorreth.

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 kindness will I enter thy house: I will bow myself down before thy holy temple in the fear of thee.

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。

O Lord, lead me in thy righteousness because of those that regard me enviously; make straight before me thy way.

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 not in their mouth any sincerity; their inward part is full of deception; an open sepulchre is their throat: 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。

Condemn them, O God: let them fall through their own counsels; for the multitude of their transgressions cast them down; 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!

Then will rejoice all those that put their trust in thee; for ever will they shout for joy, when thou protectest them: and then will exult in thee those that love thy name.

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 Lord; as with a shield wilt thou encompass him with favor.
