Psalms 5

1 To the Chief Musician. For the Flutes. A Melody of David. To my words, give ear, O Yahweh, Understand thou my softly murmured prayer:

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 Attend to 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 Yahweh! in the morning, shalt thou hear my voice, In the morning, will I set in order unto thee, and 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, not a GOD finding pleasure in lawlessness, art thou, and wrong can be no guest of thine:

因為你不是喜悅惡事的上帝， 惡人不能與你同居。

5 Boasters, shall not station themselves, before thine eyes, —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 wilt destroy them who speak falsehood, —The man of bloodshed and of deceit, Yahweh abhorreth.

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, I, in the abounding of thy lovingkindness, will enter thy house, I will bow down towards thy holy temple, in reverence of thee:

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 O Yahweh! lead me in thy righteousness, because of mine adversaries, Make even, before me, thy way:

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 in his mouth is nothing worthy of trust, Their inward purpose, is engulphing ruin, —An opened sepulchre, is their throat, With their tongue, speak they smooth things.

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 Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall by their own counsels, —Into the throng of their own transgressions, thrust them down, 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 That all may rejoice who seek refuge in thee, to times age-abiding, may shout in triumph, that thou wilt protect them, and they may leap for joy in thee who are lovers of thy Name.

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 man, O Yahweh, As with an all-covering shield—with good pleasure, wilt thou encompass him.

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。
