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 leader: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by the flute. Hear my words, Lord: give heed to my whisper.

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 my loud cry for help, my king and my God.

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。

When I pray to you, Lord, in the morning, hear my voice. I make ready for you in the morning, and look for a sign.

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 no God who takes pleasure in wickedness: no one of evil can be your guest.

5 傲慢人也不能在你前站立。對作惡的人你也深惡厭棄，

No braggarts can stand in your presence, you hate all workers of wrong.

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 all speakers of lies, people of blood and deceit you abhor.

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, through your kindness abundant, may enter your house, and towards the shrine of your temple may reverently bow.

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 level 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 their mouth is a stranger to truth, their heart is a pit of destruction. Their throat is a wide open grave, their tongue the smooth tongue of the hypocrite.

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, God; let their schemes bring them down to the ground. For their numberless crimes thrust them down for playing the rebel 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 ring out their gladness forever. Protect those who love your name, so they may exult 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 give your blessing, Lord, to the godly, and the shield of your favour protects them.
