Psalms 36

1 [Wicked people continually desire to] sin. They consider [IDM] that they do not need to revere God.

上主的僕人達味作，交與樂官。 惡人從心裏就喜愛不義，他毫無敬愛天主的誠意。

2 Because they are very proud, they do not think that God will discover their sins and condemn them (OR, they do not think about their sins and hate themselves for it).

他只是在自己的心裏自慰：無人發現他的罪，無人懲治。

3 [Everything] that they say is deceitful and full of lies; they no longer do what is good and are no longer wise.

他滿口盡是虛偽與詐欺，早已把智慧與善行拋棄。

4 While they are lying on their beds, they plan to do things to harm [others]; they are determined to do things that are not good, and they never refuse [to do what is] evil.

他在床上籌畫作惡，立於邪道，不怕罪過。

5 Yahweh, your faithful love for us reaches as high as the heavens, you faithfully [do what you have promised]; [it is as though your doing that] extends up to the clouds.

上主，你的慈愛高達青天，你的忠義上徹雲間。

6 Your righteous behavior is [as permanent as] the highest mountains [MET], your acting justly [will continue as long as] the deepest oceans [exist]. You take care of people and you take care of animals.

你的正義有如摩天的高山，你的公平有如無底的深淵；上主使人畜生命安全。

7 God, your faithful love for us is very precious. You protect us like birds protect their baby birds under their wings [MET].

天主，你的慈愛多麼可貴可珍，人子們都向你的護翼下投奔。

8 You provide for us plenty of food from the abundant supply [IDM] that you have; your great blessings for us [flow] like a river.

他們不但飽嘗你宮殿中的盛筵，你還賜他們暢飲你人怡人的溪川。

9 You are the one who causes everything to live; your light is what enables us to see.

因為在你那裏有生命的泉源，藉的光明才能把光明看見。

10 Continue to faithfully love those who have experienced a relationship with you, and bless those who act righteously/justly.

求你為恭你的人保留恩寵，並為心地正直的人保持公平。

11 Do not allow proud people [SYN] to attack me, or allow wicked people to chase me away.

求你不要高傲人的腳踐踏我，求你不要讓罪惡人的手騷擾我。

12 Look where evil people have fallen on the ground, defeated; they were thrown down, and they will never rise again.

請看! 作惡的人己經一敗塗地，他們既已傾倒，無法重新興起。
