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

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。

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

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！

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 因為你不是喜悅惡事的上帝， 惡人不能與你同居。

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

5 狂傲人不能站在你眼前； 凡作孽的，都是你所恨惡的。

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

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

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

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, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way level before 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。

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 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。

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 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 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 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 give your blessing, Lord, to the godly, and the shield of your favour protects them.
