Psalms 25
1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. To you, Lord, I have lifted 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. Let me not be put to shame.
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 And do not let my enemies laugh at me. For all who remain with you will not be confounded.
凡期望你的人絕不會蒙羞，唯冒昧失信人才會受辱。
4 May all those who act unjustly over nothing be confounded. O Lord, demonstrate your ways to me, and 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 Direct me in your truth, and teach me. For you are God, my Savior, and I remain with you all day long.
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 O Lord, remember your compassion and your mercies, which are from ages past.
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 Do not remember the offenses of my youth and my ignorances. Remember me according to your mercy, 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 The Lord is sweet and righteous. Because of this, he will grant a law to those who fall short in the way.
因為上主仁慈又正直，常領迷途者歸回正路，
9 He will direct the mild in judgment. He will teach the meek his ways.
引導謙卑者遵守正義，教善良者走入正途。
10 All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth, to those who yearn for his covenant and his testimonies.
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 Because of your name, O Lord, you will pardon my sin, 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 Which is the man who fears the Lord? He has established a law for him, on the way that he has chosen.
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 upon good things, and his offspring will inherit the earth.
他的心靈必要安享幸福，他的後裔必能承繼領土。
14 The Lord is a firmament to those who fear him, and his covenant will be made manifest 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 ever toward the Lord, for he will pull my feet from the snare.
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 Look upon me and have mercy on me; for I am alone and poor.
求你回顧，求你憐憫，因為我是孤苦伶仃。
17 The troubles of my heart have been multiplied. Deliver me from my needfulness.
求你減輕我心的苦難，救我脫離我的憂患；
18 See my lowliness and my hardship, and release all my offenses.
垂視我的勞苦和可憐，赦免我犯的一切罪愆。
19 Consider my enemies, for they have been multiplied, and they have hated me with an unjust hatred.
請看我的仇敵如何眾多，他們都兇狠地痛恨著我。
20 Preserve my soul and rescue me. I will not be ashamed, for I have hoped 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 The innocent and the righteous have adhered to me, because I have remained with you.
願清白和正直護衛我！上主，因我唯有仰望你。
22 Free Israel, O God, from all his tribulations.
天主，求你拯救以色列，使他脫離一切的禍災
