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. For the Flutes. A Melody of David. To my words, give ear, O Yahweh, Understand thou my softly murmured prayer:

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 the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for, unto thee, 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。

O Yahweh! in the morning, shalt thou hear my voice, In the morning, will I set in order unto thee, and keep 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, not a GOD finding pleasure in lawlessness, art thou, and wrong can be no guest of thine:

5 傲慢人也不能在你前站立。對作惡的人你也深惡厭棄，

Boasters, shall not station themselves, 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 who speak falsehood, —The man of bloodshed and of deceit, Yahweh 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, I, in the abounding of thy lovingkindness, will enter thy house, I will bow down towards thy holy temple, in reverence 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 Yahweh! lead me in thy righteousness, because of mine adversaries, Make even, 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 in his mouth is nothing worthy of trust, Their inward purpose, is engulphing ruin, —An opened sepulchre, is their throat, With their tongue, speak they smooth things.

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。

Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall by their own counsels, —Into the throng of their own transgressions, thrust 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!

That all may rejoice who seek refuge in thee, to times age-abiding, may shout in triumph, that thou wilt protect them, and they may leap for joy in thee who are lovers of 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 man, O Yahweh, As with an all-covering shield—with good pleasure, wilt thou encompass him.
