Psalms 5

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

大衛的詩，交與伶長。用吹的樂器。 耶和華啊，求你留心聽我的言語， 顧念我的心思！

2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee do I pray.

我的王我的上帝啊，求你垂聽我呼求的聲音！ 因為我向你祈禱。

3 O LORD, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; in the morning will I order [my prayer] unto thee, and will keep watch.

耶和華啊，早晨你必聽我的聲音； 早晨我必向你陳明我的心意，並要警醒！

4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: evil shall not sojourn with thee.

因為你不是喜悅惡事的上帝， 惡人不能與你同居。

5 The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

狂傲人不能站在你眼前； 凡作孽的，都是你所恨惡的。

6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak lies: the LORD abhorreth the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

說謊言的，你必滅絕； 好流人血弄詭詐的，都為耶和華所憎惡。

7 But as for me, in the multitude of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house: in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

至於我，我必憑你豐盛的慈愛進入你的居所； 我必存敬畏你的心向你的聖殿下拜。

8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way plain before my face.

耶和華啊，求你因我的仇敵，憑你的公義引領我， 使你的道路在我面前正直。

9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness: their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

因為，他們的口中沒有誠實； 他們的心裏滿有邪惡； 他們的喉嚨是敞開的墳墓； 他們用舌頭諂媚人。

10 Hold them guilty, O God; let them fall by their own counsels: thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.

上帝啊，求你定他們的罪！ 願他們因自己的計謀跌倒； 願你在他們許多的過犯中把他們逐出， 因為他們背叛了你。

11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice, let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

凡投靠你的，願他們喜樂，時常歡呼， 因為你護庇他們； 又願那愛你名的人都靠你歡欣。

12 For thou wilt bless the righteous; O LORD, thou wilt compass him with favour as with a shield.

因為你必賜福與義人； 耶和華啊，你必用恩惠如同盾牌四面護衛他。
