Psalms 25
1 Of David. To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul;
【靠上主的祈禱】上主，我向你把我的心舉起，
2 in You, my God, I trust. Do not let me be put to shame; do not let my enemies exult over me.
我的天主，我全心要倚靠你。求你不要使我蒙受羞恥，不要容許我的仇人歡喜。
3 Surely none who wait for You will be put to shame; but those who are faithless without cause will be disgraced.
凡期望你的人絕不會蒙羞，唯冒昧失信人才會受辱。
4 Show me Your ways, O LORD; teach me Your paths.
上主，求你使我認識你的法度，並求你教訓我履行你的道路。
5 Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; all day long I wait for You.
還求你教訓我；引我進入真理之路，我終日仰望你，因你是救我的天主。
6 Remember, O LORD, Your compassion and loving devotion, for they are from age to age.
上主，求你憶及的仁慈和恩愛，因為它們由亙古以來就常存在。
7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my rebellious acts; remember me according to Your loving devotion, because of Your goodness, O LORD.
我青春的罪愆和過犯，求你要追念；上主，求你紀念我，照你的仁慈和良善。
8 Good and upright is the LORD; therefore He shows sinners the way.
因為上主仁慈又正直，常領迷途者歸回正路，
9 He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them His way.
引導謙卑者遵守正義，教善良者走入正途。
10 All the LORD’s ways are loving and faithful to those who keep His covenant and His decrees.
對待持守上主的盟約和誡命的人，上主的一切行徑常是慈愛和忠誠。
11 For the sake of Your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, for it is great.
上主，為了你聖名的緣故，求你赦免我重大的愆尤。
12 Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the path chosen for him.
不論是誰，只要他敬愛上主，上主必指示他應選的道路，
13 His soul will dwell in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land.
他的心靈必要安享幸福，他的後裔必能承繼領土。
14 The LORD confides in those who fear Him, and reveals His covenant to them.
上主親近敬愛自己的人民，也使他們認識自己的誓盟。
15 My eyes are always on the LORD, for He will free my feet from the mesh.
我的眼睛不斷地向上主瞻仰，因為祂使我的雙腳脫離羅網。
16 Turn to me and be gracious, for I am lonely and afflicted.
求你回顧，求你憐憫，因為我是孤苦伶仃。
17 The troubles of my heart increase; free me from my distress.
求你減輕我心的苦難，救我脫離我的憂患；
18 Consider my affliction and trouble, and take away all my sins.
垂視我的勞苦和可憐，赦免我犯的一切罪愆。
19 Consider my enemies, for they are many, and they hate me with vicious hatred.
請看我的仇敵如何眾多，他們都兇狠地痛恨著我。
20 Guard my soul and deliver me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in You.
求你保謢我的生命，向我施救，別叫我因投奔你而蒙受羞辱。
21 May integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for You.
願清白和正直護衛我！上主，因我唯有仰望你。
22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all its distress.
天主，求你拯救以色列，使他脫離一切的禍災
