Psalms 5

1 Unto the end, for her that obtaineth the inheritance. A psalm of David. Give ear, O Lord, to my words, understand 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 Hearken to the voice of my prayer, O my King and my God.

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 For to thee will I pray: O Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear my voice.

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 In the morning I will stand before thee, and will see: because thou art not a God that willest iniquity.

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 wicked dwell near thee: nor shall the unjust abide before thy eyes.

傲慢人也不能在你前站立。對作惡的人你也深惡厭棄，

6 Thou hatest all the workers of iniquity: Thou wilt destroy all that speak a lie. The bloody and the deceitful man the Lord will abhor.

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 as for me in the multitude of thy mercy, I will come into thy house; I will worship towards thy holy temple, in thy fear.

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 Conduct me, O Lord, in thy justice: because of my enemies, direct my way in thy sight.

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.

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 Their throat is an open sepulchre: they dealt deceitfully with their tongues: judge them, O God. Let them fall from their devices: according to the multitude of their wickedness cast them out: 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 them be glad that hope in thee: they shall rejoice for ever, and thou shalt dwell in them. And all they that love thy name shall glory 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 wilt bless the just. O Lord, thou hast crowned us, as with a shield of thy good will.

上主，你原來只向義人祝福。你的仁愛如盾牌，把他掩護。
