詩篇 5

1 大衛的詩，交與伶長。用吹的樂器。 耶和華啊，求你留心聽我的言語， 顧念我的心思！

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 我的王我的上帝啊，求你垂聽我呼求的聲音！ 因為我向你祈禱。

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

3 耶和華啊，早晨你必聽我的聲音； 早晨我必向你陳明我的心意，並要警醒！

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 因為你不是喜悅惡事的上帝， 惡人不能與你同居。

For you are not a God who has any pleasure in wickedness; evil has no place with you.

5 狂傲人不能站在你眼前； 凡作孽的，都是你所恨惡的。

The proud cannot come into your presence; you hate everyone who does evil.

6 說謊言的，你必滅絕； 好流人血弄詭詐的，都為耶和華所憎惡。

You destroy those who tell lies. The Lord loathes bloodthirsty and deceptive people.

7 至於我，我必憑你豐盛的慈愛進入你的居所； 我必存敬畏你的心向你的聖殿下拜。

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 耶和華啊，求你因我的仇敵，憑你的公義引領我， 使你的道路在我面前正直。

Lead me, Lord, you who always does what is right, save me from my enemies. Make your way clear to me.

9 因為，他們的口中沒有誠實； 他們的心裏滿有邪惡； 他們的喉嚨是敞開的墳墓； 他們用舌頭諂媚人。

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 上帝啊，求你定他們的罪！ 願他們因自己的計謀跌倒； 願你在他們許多的過犯中把他們逐出， 因為他們背叛了你。

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 凡投靠你的，願他們喜樂，時常歡呼， 因為你護庇他們； 又願那愛你名的人都靠你歡欣。

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 因為你必賜福與義人； 耶和華啊，你必用恩惠如同盾牌四面護衛他。

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