Psalms 5

1 For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning her that inherits. Hearken to my words, O Lord, attend to my cry.

【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!

2 Attend to the voice of my supplication, my King, and my God: for to thee, O Lord, will I pray.

我的君王，我的天主，請聽我祈禱的聲音！上主，我在向你哀懇，

3 In the morning thou shalt hear my voice: in the morning will I wait upon thee, and will look up.

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。

4 For thou art not a god that desires iniquity; neither shall the worker of wickedness dwell with thee.

你絕不是喜愛罪惡的天主，惡人決不能在你面前存留，

5 Neither shall the transgressors continue in thy sight: thou hatest, O Lord, all them that work iniquity.

傲慢人也不能在你前站立。對作惡的人你也深惡厭棄，

6 Thou wilt destroy all that speak falsehood: the Lord abhors the bloody and deceitful man.

說謊不實的人，你全予以消除；奸詐好殺的人，上主一律厭惡。

7 But I will enter into thine house in the multitude of thy mercy: I will worship in thy fear toward thy holy temple.

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。

8 Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make my way plain before thy face.

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。

9 For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain; their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit.

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。

10 Judge them, O God; let them fail of their counsels: cast them out according to the abundance of their ungodliness; for they have provoked thee, O Lord.

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。

11 But let all that trust on thee be glad in thee: they shall exult for ever, and thou shalt dwell among them; and all that love thy name shall rejoice in thee.

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!

12 For thou, Lord, shalt bless the righteous: thou hast compassed us as with a shield of favour.

上主，你原來只向義人祝福。你的仁愛如盾牌，把他掩護。
