Psalms 5

1 For the Leader; upon the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my (meditation)

【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 unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; for unto Thee do 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 O LORD, in the morning shalt Thou hear my voice; in the morning will I order my prayer unto Thee, and will look forward.

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 hath pleasure in wickedness; evil shall not sojourn 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 The boasters shall not stand in Thy sight; Thou hatest all workers of 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 destroyest them that speak falsehood; the LORD abhorreth the man of blood and of deceit.

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 abundance of Thy lovingkindness will I come into Thy house; I will bow down toward Thy holy temple in the fear of Thee.

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 O LORD, lead me in Thy righteousness because of them that lie in wait for me; make Thy way straight before my 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 sincerity in their mouth; their inward part is a yawning gulf, their throat is an open sepulchre; they make smooth their tongue.

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 Hold them guilty, O God, let them fall by their own counsels; cast them down in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against Thee.

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 So shall all those that take refuge in Thee rejoice, they shall ever shout for joy, and Thou shalt shelter them; let them also that love Thy name exult 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 dost bless the righteous; O LORD, Thou dost encompass him with favour as with a shield.

上主，你原來只向義人祝福。你的仁愛如盾牌，把他掩護。
