Psalms 36

1 To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of the servant of Jehovah; of David. The transgression of the wicked uttereth within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes.

上主的僕人達味作，交與樂官。 惡人從心裏就喜愛不義，他毫無敬愛天主的誠意。

2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, [even] when his iniquity is found to be hateful.

他只是在自己的心裏自慰：無人發現他的罪，無人懲治。

3 The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, to do good.

他滿口盡是虛偽與詐欺，早已把智慧與善行拋棄。

4 He deviseth wickedness up on his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good: he abhorreth not evil.

他在床上籌畫作惡，立於邪道，不怕罪過。

5 Jehovah, thy loving-kindness is in the heavens, and thy faithfulness [reacheth] unto the clouds.

上主，你的慈愛高達青天，你的忠義上徹雲間。

6 Thy righteousness is like the high mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: thou, Jehovah, preservest man and beast.

你的正義有如摩天的高山，你的公平有如無底的深淵；上主使人畜生命安全。

7 How precious is thy loving-kindness, O God! So the sons of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.

天主，你的慈愛多麼可貴可珍，人子們都向你的護翼下投奔。

8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou wilt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

他們不但飽嘗你宮殿中的盛筵，你還賜他們暢飲你人怡人的溪川。

9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

因為在你那裏有生命的泉源，藉的光明才能把光明看見。

10 Continue thy loving-kindness unto them that know thee, and thy righteousness to the upright in heart;

求你為恭你的人保留恩寵，並為心地正直的人保持公平。

11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.

求你不要高傲人的腳踐踏我，求你不要讓罪惡人的手騷擾我。

12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and are not able to rise.

請看! 作惡的人己經一敗塗地，他們既已傾倒，無法重新興起。
