Psalms 5

1 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 Listen to the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for to you 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 My voice shall you hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer to you, 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 you are not a God that has pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with you.

你絕不是喜愛罪惡的天主，惡人決不能在你面前存留，

5 The foolish shall not stand in your sight: you hate 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 You shall destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor 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 as for me, I will come into your house in the multitude of your mercy: and in your fear will I worship toward your 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 your righteousness because of my enemies; make your 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 faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulcher; they flatter with 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 Destroy you them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against you.

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 those that put their trust in you rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because you defend them: let them also that love your name be joyful in you.

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 you, LORD, will bless the righteous; with favor will you compass him 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。
