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 flutes. A Psalm by David.] Listen to my words, LORD. 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，

Give attention to the voice of my cry, my King and my God; for to you 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。

LORD, in the morning you shall hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and 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 you are not a God who desires wickedness. Evil can't live 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 arrogant shall not stand in your sight. You hate all evildoers.

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 will destroy those who speak lies. The LORD despises a person 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 as for me, in the abundance of your loving kindness I will enter into your house. I will bow toward your holy temple in reverence of you.

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, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight 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 nothing reliable in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb; with their tongues they flatter.

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, God. Let them fall by their own counsels. Cast them out because of the multitude of their 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 those who take refuge in you rejoice. Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. And let those who love your name be joyful 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 you bless the righteous, LORD. You surround him with favor like a shield.
